Sissy Spacek - ©Theda Bara

The name I want to highlight in this post is Sissy Spacek, an American actress and singer. She has received numerous awards throughout her career, including the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1981, at the 53rd Academy Awards, for her performance as singer “Loretta Lynn”, in the film “The Miner’s Daughter” (1980).

Sissy Spacek also won three Golden Globe Awards: Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical in 1981 and 1987; and Best Actress in a Drama Film in 2002.

In 2011, Sissy Spacek was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at 6834 Hollywood Boulevard, across from the El Capitan Theatre.

Mary Elizabeth Spacek was born on Christmas Day, December 25, 1949, in Quitman, Texas, United States, and is 76 years old.

Sissy Spacek is a rarity in the art world, having been married only once, to renowned art director and set designer Jack Fisk (1945-). The couple has been together for over 50 years. Wedding date: April 12, 1974. Sissy and Jack have two American daughters: art director and set designer Madison Fisk (1988-) and Elizabeth Schuyler Fisk (1982-), who, like her mother, is also an actress and singer.
