Coal Miner's Daughter - the movie

Ah I remember watching this movie way way back......long time ago, but had to buy it again on DVD when I saw it this last week in a store I was in.

It's the wonderful true story of the one time first lady of country - Loretta Lynn.

It's a great love story, a great family story, a great lady of country, who came on the scene from the believing and hard work of her husband. She became very close friends with the then lady of country Pasty Cline. Then Pasty was tragically killed in an plane crash. Loretta Lynn took her place as country's number one lady.

Loretta is played by Sissy Spacek, chosen directly by Loretta. Sissy was taken and taught how to sing like Loretta by Loretta.....yes Sissy does all the singing in the movie, and a gal by the name of Beverly D'Angelo does the singing as Patsy Cline. Tommy Lee Jones is superb as Loretta's husband.

Loretta was indeed a coal miner's daughter, married young, had many children, and a fast rise to stardom after Patsy Cline was killed in that plane crash.

If you've never seen this movie, then put it on your list, rent it, buy it, whatever but you and your family will enjoy COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER, yes indeed.
