I'm glad she wasn't named Sissy! I wonder where she gets that nickname from then.

That would make sense, they do look similar.

Another thought .... maybe Sissy is related to Wayne Rooney (Everton & England footballer). They both have similar piercing eyes.

I went to the cinema to see Carrie when it was first released, Maggie. When that hand shot up out of the grave at the end of the film everyone in the cinema jumped, and then everyone laughed. It was brilliant and I'll never forget it. I believe it was the first of many films with shock endings.
