Ran across Carrie today and watched most of it since I hadn't seen it in a really long time. Wow. I never realized how low budget it was.
But here is some trivia I learned while watching it:
William Katt, the guy who played Tommy who took Carrie to the prom, was also the lead in the TV show Greatest American Hero. What I really found interesting, tho, is that he's Barbara Hale's son. She was a real looker in her day and played Della Street on Perry Mason:

The guy who played the English teacher, Mr Fromm, was Sydney Lassick. I recognized him immediately as one of the patients in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; specifically, Cheswick:

Two phrases I thought were coined much much later were in that movie: "get 'er done" and "no harm, no foul". I actually had to rewind the movie to see if I heard correctly.
