Country Girl: The Life of Sissy Spacek [Hardcover]

Mark Emerson (Author), Eugene E., Jr. Pfaff (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The first biography of Spacek is a short, sketchy career study, zeroing in on the actress's TV and feature films, including Carrie , Missing , and the Oscar-winning Coal Miner's Daughter. The authors ( Meryl Streep: a critical biography ) offer material gleaned from magazine interviews, synopses of movie plots, and notes from various film critics. There's no noticeable leg work here, and the only original analysis of the Spacek image comes in the final chapter. The narrative shuttles irritatingly from present tense to past and back again. Overall, standard, unambitious fare. Christopher Schemering, formerly with Arlington Cty. P.L., Va.
