Based on a novel by Stephen King, the chilling movie still resonates with audiences nearly 50 years after it was released in theaters, a few years after The Exorcist.
When asked why she believes that Carrie still tops the lists of horror movie aficionados, Spacek credits King’s storytelling.

Die My Love follows the story of Grace (Jennifer Lawrence) and her partner Jackson (Robert Pattinson), who have moved into an old house deep in the country. They settle into their new environment and welcome a baby boy, soon after.

Exploring the characters of Pam and Grace was a highlight of the experience. “Pam had been a caregiver to her husband with Alzheimer’s, and the family had been through a lot of trauma, and things were looking pretty bleak,” she shared. “As Pam would see when she arrived on the scene, it was not a pretty picture. I felt that Grace was the hope for their future because there was a baby on the way.”
She also had high praise for Lawrence’s acting style. “It was such a pleasure working on this because all I had to do was watch Jen’s performance,” Spacek recalled.
When it comes to camaraderie, Spacek had the pleasure of spending the summer in Vancouver helping out with her grandchildren. Spacek’s actor daughter, Schuyler Fisk, (who is also a singer-songwriter), stars in Hallmark’s popular series, The Chicken Sisters, a home-spun family-oriented series, along with Genevieve Angelson, Wendie Malick, and Lea Thompson. Spacek's younger daughter, Madison Fisk, is a production designer and art director.

“They would get together every weekend,” Spacek said. “And it’s like ‘Gosh, you’re together all week and then you want to be together on the weekend.’ We spent a lot of time together and we had a lot of fun. Leave it to women; they are remarkable. It was great getting to see them all in action. They will be friends of mine, forever.”
While Spacek’s career has been filled with stellar performances in Three Women, Crimes of the Heart, Cold Miner’s Daughter, In the Bedroom, and many others, there were difficult times.

When she looked at her career prospects when she was young, she watched a great deal of television and old movies with wonderful actresses, including Barbara Stanwyck and Loretta Young.
“And it’s great because you grow and you change, and as you pointed out, we have difficult things and challenges in our lives, traumas maybe, losses,” Spacek said. “But we can use all of those things in our work. Nothing is wasted for an actor; you can use all of that stuff, the happy times and the disappointments; everything is fodder.”
