'M-Nevada State Journal "WeHnesday, May 25,1977 Spacek Seeks New Horizons By BOB THOMAS 'Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES Sissy Spacek is fascinating to watch, both on the screen and off. She has proved her stardom in two successive films: "Carrie," a Gothic tale that became one of the surprise hits of 1976: and the current "Three Women," Robert Altaian's murkily symbolic, distrubing report on female relationships. Sissy Spacek displays in some of the same qualities that have made her such a startling screen presence. She is prettier off with a fresh, glow about her. 'Every few minutes she whips the strands of her straw-colored hair away from her face.

She is a nonstop talker in the manner of Kate Hepburn, more earthy perhaps, with a Texas drawl instead of a Connecticut twang. She spoke excitedly of a recent hiking trip in Canada 'with a woman fnend: "It was fantastic. I slept out in the wilds and went on a 12-day fast to purify my system. We hiked as hard as we could, pushing ourselves higher until our lungs would almost burst. We watched the birds and pressed flowers and kept a log, like "I want to explore, to seek new horizons.

The experience in Canada was like a spiritual awakening; I had moments of seeing abstractly, that used to be specific. I came back fresh and awakened." An interviewer gets the Impression that Sissy Spacek will get what she's after. That's pretty much the story of her 27 years thus far, though some lulls have interrupted her ascent to stardom. Like the one after "Badlands." She had left Quittman, for a performing career in New York, where she lost some of her accent and gained experience in coffee: houses and off- Broadway plays. Her film debut came with "Prime Cut." Then "Badlands" seemed to be the star- making role.

"It was a beautiful picture and the ad campaign was great; I knew it would be a hit," Sissy recalled. Indeed "Badlands" was a hit with thoughtful critics, but few others came to see it. For two years afterward she didn't work as an actress. Instead, she performed the duties of set decorator for such films as "Weekend of Terror" and "Phantom of the 1 on which her husband, Jack Fisk, was art director. "I picked out furniture, fabrics, colors everything that went into the appearance of sets; it was just like decorating a house," she said.

"I loved doing it, and I learned a lot I didn't know about the movie business." The lull ended with "Katherine," a television movie about an upper-class girl who becomes a revolutionary. The parallel to Patty Hearst was evident, but Sissy's performance made something more of the film. Next came "Welcome toL.A." and "Carrie." "I don't wait to be cast in roles; I read scripts and books to find parts that I can do," she explained. "I learned about 'Carrie' when Jack was hired as art director. Brian DePalma, the director had somebody else in mind for the role.
