Wallace recently spoke with PEOPLE about the iconic film, admitting that the cast never expected it to become so iconic. “On the set, it was like being on any other set,” she said. “You arrived at 7 a.m., and you sat in your dressing room a lot and waited a lot, like you do on every set. You went home at 7 p.m. It was like shooting pretty much every other movie.”
She continued, “When it came out, it was a huge blockbuster! We were all pleasantly surprised. We knew when we were shooting it that we were making some kind of magic. We did know that, but to make a hit like E.T., it’s so much about timing. I mean, Steven’s blockbuster that summer was supposed to be Poltergeist. It really took everybody kind of by surprise, I think, that E.T. was such a smash hit.”
Wallace also spoke about how grateful she was that her work in such a legendary film didn’t get her typecast. “I wasn’t put in a cubby hole,” she said. “I was able to go back and forth from sitcoms, like Together We Stand and The New Lassie, to really, really heavy, dramatic parts. And I appreciated that a lot.”
She continued, “I joke a lot that I had to go to New Zealand and do The Frighteners to get me out of some of my mother roles because I did get pigeonholed there for a while after E.T., because being the mother in E.T. was such an iconic role. I did become everybody’s mother for a long time. And I’m proud of it.”
Wallace appeared in other notable films throughout her career, including The Stepford Wives, The Hills Have Eyes, Cujo, andHalloween. In addition to acting, she has also released a book called Bright Light, which she considers her spiritual autobiography. Wallace is now 77.
