Carrie
Like a great many Stephen King novels, his 1974 debut Carrie was set in Maine. The film adaption was shot in California, as are most American movies, but Sissy Spacek’s Southern accent suggests that the film either takes place somewhere down South or that she and her mother has relocated from below the Mason-Dixon line.
One could make the case that Spacek, who is from Texas, is just talking in her natural accent – but that doesn’t explain why so many other Carrie stars, including Jersey boy John Travolta, in his debut film role — also have Southern accents.
