One tweet praised, “Sissy Spacek looks GORGEOUS on the red carpet,” while another expressed, “Jack Fisk & Sissy Spacek – exactly how I’d rock up to the Oscars tbh [sic].” A third tweet referred to them as a “power couple.”
The enduring love story of Sissy and Jack began on the set of “Badlands,” evolving into a partnership that has stood the test of time since their marriage in 1974.
Reflecting on her role in “Night Sky,” Sissy discussed how her deep connection with Fisk helped her relate to the character. She explained, “That’s what attracted me to this role. I understood that deep, deep connection and long time growing up together. I understood the relationship.”
Despite their fame, Sissy and Jack chose to live a life away from the constant scrutiny of Hollywood, settling on a Virginia farm since 1978 to raise their daughters.
“We moved there not because we didn’t love L.A., but we wanted to raise our children in a more natural environment,” Sissy revealed. “An environment where they could make mistakes, ride ponies, do stupid stuff, and climb trees and not have to deal with that celebrity child thing.”
During those years, Sissy and Jack organized their work schedules to ensure one of them was always at the farm for their daughters. While Sissy’s career flourished, Jack dedicated himself to maintaining their home and raising horses.
Their decision reflected their desire to offer a grounded upbringing for their children, away from the spotlight of fame. Their retreat became a sanctuary for simplicity and creativity, where they balanced their professional endeavors with family life, prioritizing their daughters’ well-being.
Interestingly, despite their efforts to shield their daughters from the entertainment industry’s influence, Schuyler and Madison were drawn to careers in entertainment.
Schuyler has carved out a reputation for herself as both an actress and a musician, while Madison has pursued a career behind the scenes as a production designer and art director. Sissy humorously remarks that despite their diverse experiences, their children don’t turn to them for relationship advice, highlighting a family dynamic that is both independent and tightly-knit.
Recently, the couple converted their barn into a creative studio for painting and music production. Sissy Spacek enthusiastically praises her husband’s artistic prowess, acknowledging the profound impact he has had on her own creativity.
She attributes her significant accomplishments to their life on the farm and the strong bond she shares with her husband, emphasizing their mutual understanding and encouragement of each other’s passions. She also commends him for his sense of humor, which never fails to bring a smile to her face.
As Sissy approaches her 70th year, she marvels at the vibrancy of their relationship and the swift passage of time. Her love for gardening is evident in the addition of peonies and boxwood trees to her garden, a space she has transformed through her unwavering dedication.
Sissy treasures the serenity of farm life, particularly moments spent on her porch with a portable fan, basking in the beauty of her surroundings. She holds her husband’s humor in high regard, describing it as so extraordinary that it borders on the absurd.
Reflecting on the evolution of her relationship with her daughters, Sissy observes a reversal of roles, with her daughters now taking care of her, confidently guiding her through airports and other activities.
She acknowledges how her daughters value their upbringing and now contribute to her well-being. Sissy mentions that her eldest daughter, Schuyler, has inherited her musical talents, while her youngest excels in visual arts, much like her father.
