Additional InformationThe story of Loretta Lynn, COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER charts the rise of the queen of country music from her upbringing in backwoods Appalachia to stardom at the Grand Ole Opry. One of eight children, she married at age 13 and was a mother of four by age 20. Shy and naive, she was pushed into music by her husband Doolittle--who gave her a guitar instead of a ring for their wedding--in what was to be a career that also tracked her complicated relationship with this man. His strengths helped her create numerous hit singles, but his weaknesses inspired such immortal songs as "You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man." Sissy Spacek won an Oscar for her virtuoso performance, mimicking Lynn's voice nearly perfectly, while Beverly D'Angelo solidly impersonates Patsy Cline (unlike other music biographies, this film features both actors using their own voices in the singing scenes). Country music legends Ernest Tubb and Minnie Pearl also make cameo appearances. For director Michael Apted, COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER is one in a series of films (AGATHA, GORILLAS IN THE MIST, NELL) he has made about strong, eccentric women.
