Nashville Lady (1980)

Nashville Lady: Directed by Michael Apted. With Sissy Spacek, Tommy Lee Jones, Levon Helm, Phyllis Boyens-Liptak. The life of legendary Loretta Lynn, the dirt poor Appalachian Mountains girl who rose from humble beginnings to become the “Queen of Country Music.”

“Loretta Lynnu0026#39;s life has been to say the least,interesting.A wife at 13, mother at 14,and walking a long path to her throne as the u0026quot;Queen of Country Musicu0026quot;.Triumphs and tragedies have virtually filled her life, and it was expertly brought to life in this film.Sissy Spacek gives a dead on performance as Lynn,right down to her voice,and even does her own singing for the film.This is without a doubt one of the best acting performances of a non fictional character I have ever seen,and let us not forget the Oscar worthy performance of Tommy Lee Jones as Doolittle Lynn,Lorettau0026#39;s husband.He is always excellent,but he was never better than he was here.This is an excellent true story of Lorettau0026#39;s long journey from the Kentucky backwoods to the Grand Ole Opry stage.A must see and must own movie.”
