Sissy Spacek, 76, became an icon 50 years ago when she starred as Carrie in the 1976 horror film.
The actress's portrayal of the vengeful high school student bullied by her classmates earned her an Academy Award nomination – she went on to win an Oscar for her role in Coal Miner's Daughter. Half a century later, Carrie is still in the cultural lexicon. A miniseries adaptation of the Stephen King novel premiered on Amazon Prime Video on Wednesday, October 7, 2026.
