‘Awards Chatter' Pod: Sissy Spacek on Her J.Law Collab ‘Die My Love,' the ‘New Hollywood' of the '70s and the Penises in ‘Dying for Sex'
For the fourth annual recording of The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast in front of an audience in the Campari Lounge of the Palais during the Cannes Film Festival, the legendary actress Sissy Spacek joined yours truly for an hourlong conversation about her remarkable life and career. Spacek, a youthful 75, reflected on her journey from small-town Texas to Hollywood (and then to a farm in Charlottesville, Virginia, where she has resided since 1982); her involvement in the 'New Hollywood' of the '70s and early '80s, including massively acclaimed performances in 1973's Badlands, 1976's Carrie, 1977's Three Women, 1980's Coal Miner's Daughter (which brought her a best actress Oscar) and 1982's Missing; and the recently deceased filmmaker David Lynch, a childhood friend of Spacek's husband Jack Fisk and a friend of hers for some 50 years, whose breakthrough 1977 film, Eraserhead, she and Fisk helped to finance, and in whose 1999 film The Straight Story she starred.

In the dark drama, Spacek plays the wife of a character played by Nick Nolte (with whom she previously acted in 1980's Heart Beat and 1997's Affliction), the mother of a character played by Robert Pattinson and the mother-in-law of a woman in the throes of severe post-partum depression, played by fellow Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence. Die My Love brought about Spacek's first trip to the Cannes Film Festival in 26 years, following three previous visits, each in different decades — for Three Women, Missing and The Straight Story. The general consensus at the fest was that Spacek's performance in the new film could bring her the seventh Oscar nomination of her career, which would be her first first in 24 years, and her first ever in the category of best supporting actress. Her earlier noms, all in the best actress category, came for Carrie, Coal Miner's Daughter, Missing, 1984's The River, 1986's Crimes of the Heart and 2001's In the Bedroom. Only six living women have accumulated seven or more acting Oscar noms: Meryl Streep (21), Cate Blanchett (8), Judi Dench (8), Glenn Close (8), Jane Fonda (7) and Kate Winslet (7).

Sissy Spacek Shares ‘Carrie' Audition Doubts at Spirited ‘Awards Chatter' Podcast Taping in Cannes
Sissy Spacek brought her Texas charm to Cannes, where the Oscar winner regaled an intimate crowd with stories from her 50-plus- year career. The conversation was lively and funny, with the actress discussing her defining role in 1976's Carrie and nearly missing out on Lynne Ramsay's current Cannes title, Die, My Love. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'The Phoenician Scheme' Review: A Brilliant Benicio del Toro Leads Wes Anderson's Poignant Narrative Jigsaw Puzzle 'Peak Everything' Director on Getting Personal With Dark Romantic Comedy to "Save Myself" Nicole Kidman Gives Update on 'Practical Magic' Sequel With Sandra Bullock: "It's Fun and Witchy" It was all part of the fourth annual live Cannes taping of the Awards Chatter podcast, hosted by Scott Feinberg, THR's executive editor of awards. Spacek first met Carrie director Brian De Palma through her husband, famed production designer Jack Fisk. The night before her audition, she stayed up late, rereading the Stephen King novel it was based upon, and 'feeling very tortured.' She showed up to the audition looking rough, in full Carrie mode. She put Vaseline in her hair and wore a torn dress. After the screen test, she was certain she'd blown her chance. 'I thought, 'He hates me. He'll never want me in his film and I'm not going to get this,' ' she recalled. Her husband was the one who broke the news that she landed the lead role, which would earn her an Oscar nomination. The conversation took place overlooking the Bay of Cannes at the Campari Lounge in the Palais, with the iconic red bitter brand returning for a fourth year as an official partner, continuing its role as curator of aperitivo occasions and celebrating the creativity and passion of visionary filmmakers who shape cinema. Spacek was in Cannes for Die, My Love, in which she plays the mother-in-law to Jennifer Lawrence's character, who is going through postpartum depression. Her agents begged her to meet with director Ramsay, but she declined because she was babysitting her grandkids. When she finally agreed, she couldn't understand the Scottish director's accent, while director Ramsay had trouble understanding her Texas twang. Said Spacek to laughs: 'Fortunately, her producer, Andrea [Calderwood] would explain. I'd look over say, 'What did she say?' So we had a great thing going.'
