Sissy Spacek – Born 1949   

Spacek’s first role in the seventies in the film, Badlands, catapulted her to instant stardom. She was young and impressionable, however, and she soon fell victim to the trappings of Hollywood addiction, including drug and alcohol abuse. She fell so far from grace that she almost lost all opportunities for acting; fortunately, she was able to pull herself together before it was too late.

She has since gone on to star in a number of innovative and groundbreaking roles, but aside from her time on screen, she prefers to keep life private, away from the prying eyes of the scorching media.
