Actor: Sissy Spacek

Sissy Spacek won Best Actress for Coal Miner’s Daughter, singing all of Loretta Lynn’s songs herself at Lynn’s insistence.

Carrie brought her first nomination at twenty-six, playing a sixteen-year-old, and the prom sequence is one of the most reproduced in horror. Badlands and In the Bedroom fill out a career of six nominations. She has consistently lived in Virginia and not Los Angeles.
