recalled how she made it through the nude scene where her similarly timid character, Carrie White, who unleashes telekinetic powers after being embarrassed at prom, washes off in the school locker room and discovers she’s started her first period. “It was terrifying. I’m also very shy, and I’m an introvert,” Spacek, now 72, said.“I went to [director] Brian De Palma and said: ‘Tell me about this scene, what is it like?’ And he turns to me and he says: ‘It’s like getting hit by a Mack truck.’ ”Coincidentally, Spacek’s husband, designer and art director Jack Fisk, had been hit by a truck, so the actress said she went home and asked him for pointers.
