Sissy Spacek in Prime Cut (1972)

This was her first credited film appearance, and she appeared totally naked in another scene. She was 22, and completely unknown. Fame would come some four years later when she played the title character in Carrie. In another four years she would win the Oscar for her leading role in Coal Miner’s Daughter.

It might be more interesting to go back four years before her appearance in Prime Cut. You may not remember that she pursued a career as a singer before she trained as an actress. Here she is at age 18, singing, “John,You’ve Gone Too Far This Time” in 1968. (It’s about the nude album cover John Lennon did with Yoko.)



She will turn 70 on Christmas Day, and is still working. Last year she played opposite Robert Redford in The Old Man & the Gun.
