      She definitely is; she transcends the cult following for Carrie and has solidified herself to more than just an Icon. She's a living Legend and I'm happy that they got her for this video.

      I met Sissy in New York .... at an event honoring the 20th anniversary of Missing. She is exactly what you see here. Charming, real, a delightful human being. I couldn't believe she talked to me for nearly 15 minutes. I loved every second of that conversation. Later that evening she introduced me as her good friend.... preceded by "what's your name again?" She's beautiful and fantastic. I love her.

    She is by far my favorite American actress. I adore her! All her movies, I’m so glad that her older daughter resembles her so much and pursued a musical career, the one she was not able to fulfill -but that is ok as I’m glad she pursued acting and became the icon that she is. What a wonderful lady, mother and wife too since 1974 I believe. God bless her!

    CMD was my favorite movie.. I so identified with her childhood character, the restlessness of her present and hopelessness for the future... I really clung to her for that reason, but my god, that wedding night scene scarred and scared the crap outta me and would stay with me forever. I was too young at the time 🙈

    This is a great interview, and shows Sissy has always been an actor's actor, and she is absolutely down to earth and modest about her talents. She has chosen the films she stars in very well, as far as I am concerned, and what a wonderful singing voice she has, as she demonstrated in Coal Miner's Daughter. I am more of a Patsy Cline fan, but I do love the movie about Loretta Lynn, Sissy is excellent in that role, as are all the actors in that movie.

    Love you, girl. Also should have mentioned "Crimes of the Heart," she was nominated for an Oscar for that. It's a great ensemble film and she gives an unforgettably wacky performance. Who else could make an attempted suicide so endearing and amusing--"I'm havin' a bad day."
