Daddy's Girl Hits The Bigtime !!!!!


Faithful Adaptation...
This movie is a true story about the life of Loretta Lynn played by Sissy Spacek.
The part of her hubby Dolittle is played by Tommy Lee Jones.
Both are great actors in the portrayl of this movie.

I was IN LOVE with this heartwarming movie "COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER ", from the first scene until the very last one
Loretta Lynn, played by none other than Sissy Spacek and Doolittle Lynn played by "Tommy Lee Jones".
The very first time I seen this movie was when I was a child, I watched it with my entire family.
I cried when Loretta left home to be with Doolittle and I laughed because I was happy that she was with the man that she loved so deeply !!
They had ups and downs in their marriage , just as every married couple does.
But, all in all, they always stuck so close together.
My heart was broken for Loretta when her Best friend Patsy Cline was killed
It warmed me when she named one of her twin daughters after Patsy Cline

Loretta's dad is a coal-miner.
He doesn't make much money so the kids rarely have shoes or clothes to wear.
When Loretta is 14 she meets and falls in love with Dolittle at a pie auction.
It's love at first site and Dolittle has to teach Loretta all about love.
Her dream is to become a BIG Country singing Star and her dream comes true.

First she starts by just singing to her kids and then on to the Good Ole Opry.
Soon she meets one of the Greats of Country Music...
Patsy Cline and they become the best of friends and it totally tears Loretta up when she hears on the radio that her best friend Patsy died in a crash.
So sad at this part, but Loretta goes on to become one of the Greats in memory of her best friend..... Patsy Cline.

Go buy or rent this movie.
I've never seen a sweeter movie about a woman's life than this movie.
Sissy Spacek portrays Loretta Lynn without a single flaw.
Loretta Lynn marries young, to the love of her life, Doolittle.
What a pair they are.
She is so naive & unassuming & he is worldly because he is 15 years older than she.. Doolittle likes her singing to their babies & buys her a guitar for one of their anniversaries.. Next thing you know, Doolittle has Loretta in radio stations & off to the Grand Ole Opry.. Through it all they still have their love for one another.. He cheats & she constantly tours.. When Doolittle scoops Loretta off the stage you feel nothing but love.. This is a gr8 life story.. Females will love it.....

From Poverty to Fame...

Sissy Spacek does her own singing in this biopic of the life of Loretta Lynn.
And frankly, she does credit to Ms. Lynn, sounding as close as a human being can get to Lynn without actually being her.
This is also one of Tommy Lee Jones' first exposures to the moviegoing public, as "Mooney" Lynn, Loretta's husband.
One sees flashes of his more humorous future roles in his portrayal of Lynn's husband. (The reader may remember his work in The Fugitive, for example .)

There was a time, not so many years ago, when Hollywood seemed fascinated with the lives and sometimes depths of singers such as Billie Holiday, Tina Turner, Ricky Valens, Jim Morrison, and Buddy Holly.....
Among the best of this genre was "Coal Miner's Daughter ," which tells the story of Loretta Lynn.

Among the things that makes this story work is a terrific screenplay based on a well-written autobiography.. Loretta Lynn's tale begins in poverty.. She marries young.. She and her husband (Tommy Lee Jones) go on the road to promote her singing career.. While on the road, her song becomes a hit.. She then moves onto the Gran Ole Opry where she meets Patsy Cline and she herself becomes a headliner.. Finally, we follow Ms. Lynn as fame, fans and the demands of the road overwhelm her.....

Cissy Spacek gives an amazing performance as Loretta Lynn in this movie.
She really brings Ms. Lynn to life.
If you enjoy the music of the Opry and especially of Loretta Lynn (which I do) you will the music here.
Spacek sings it herself rather than dubbing over recordings from Ms. Lynn.
In this way she brings more than just an impression , but a truly special interpretation to the role.

I have seen this movie several times, and each time Im more impressed with the performances in this movie.
This film makes me laugh and cry and appreciate my family.

What more could any movie do ????

Sissy Spacek won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role.
"Coal Miner's Daughter " was also nominated for six other Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Cinematography (Ralf D. Bode), Best Film Editing, Best Sound, Best Art Direction, and Best Adapted Screenplay (Tom Rickman, from Lynn's best-selling autobiography).
Tommy Lee Jones was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Actor.


All in all, this is an excellent rendition of the life of a woman who has become a classic American country-music legend.
