EDIT: ever since the new Carrie TV show came out, I’ve gotten daily hits on this post which I created for my own reference, not thinking that anyone else would care. My guess is that a new generation of people have discovered 70s Sissy Spacek from the original Carrie, and have become interested and perhaps infatuated with her like I did when I watched her in 1973 Badlands. Sissy hasn’t confirmed any surgery on her nose, although, given that people from her hometown with access to her high school photos, this video, and who knew her personally, have confirmed that this is Sissy, it seems obvious to me that she had the surgery done. I mean absolutely no disrespect to this woman whom I consider extraordinary.

In news that only I could possibly care about, and that I’m posting here for my own reference, I came across a video posted in a group about Quitman, Texas, the small town Sissy is from. The video shows her before the supposed nose job. She looks almost entirely different, but I recognized her little smile. If it’s truly her, that nose job rearranged her entire face.

She’s the eighteen-year-old girl on the right at 0:11. Appropriate size, freckles, arm definition. Quite the detective work, if I say so myself.

Same chin, too. Makes me wonder how many girls utterly rearrange their faces before they can show up on screen.
