We're entering a stretch of Have You Ever Seen reviews where the performances in the movies in question won the star a Best Actress Oscar. Sissy Spacek took it home 45 years ago for her transformation into the Coal Miner's Daughter...aka the First Lady Of Country Music, Miss Loretta Lynn. Spacek wasn't alone though. Tommy Lee Jones as her husband Doo and Beverly D'Angelo as Patsy Cline shine too. Michael Apted's biography has all that famous music, of course, but we're also talking about a difficult 50-year marriage, occasional violence and Lynn's ascent to stardom. This did the poverty-to-riches story so well before that became such a common theme in musical biopics. In any case, the 671st podcast on this channel is a one-Ryan effort about Coal Miner's Daughter, so tune up your voice, pluck your guitar and join the band.
