This was her film debut. She was 21. Within four years, Carrie made her a star and an Oscar nominee. In another four years, Coal Miner’s Daughter made her an Oscar winner. In subsequent years she earned four more Best Actress nominations. That makes her one of the most distinguished actresses in history. Only four women have earned more than six nominations for the Best Actress Oscar: Meryl Streep, Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis and Greer Garson. That places Sissy in the realm of the immortals.
I was disappointed with the 4K transfer of this film. It is no better than the Blu-Ray, and arguably no better than the DVD!

FOOTNOTE: The movie had a lot of solid, imaginative elements that brought it close to greatness (My review). It has some interesting ideas, two legendary macho stars and a fascinating chase scene, but it also has a ludicrous premise, and its glacial pacing is a fatal flaw in an action film. Bottom line: it’s a decent flick, but if you love films and have any talent for creating or editing them, you will probably think you could take the original footage and edit it into a great movie.
FOOTNOTE: Sissy is listed as 5’3″ at IMDb. Standing next to Lee Marvin she looks like a child – and Marvin was not a giant (6’1″).
Man, if getting naked in front of Gene Hackman and Lee Marvin was on her bucket list, she checked those two items off in her first film.
But for a tiny girl she sure had bazongas
Careful… The other naked girl with Sissy is Janit Baldwin.
17-year-old Janit Baldwin.
