Nancy: I totally didn’t understand this at the time Carrie It was a film that people will feel deeply, be influenced by and continue to identify with 50 years later. The idea of being “other” – everyone in their teens feels this to some extent.
I’m very emotional about this because it launched my career and I didn’t know I would meet my future husband. I didn’t know that I was going to make all these really iconic movies with Brian that I still talk about.
I am very excited Carrie It is still loved by many people. When you’re young and you’re making a movie, you’re very happy to work as an actor. You don’t even think about what this means.
Now I see how many people resonate with this, especially queer audiences. My brother was gay and there are a lot of emotions associated with that for me. Going to Queer Fest makes me so happy because I know Chris is an icon that I love.
I’m truly honored to be a part of this.
