Sissy Spacek won an Academy Award for her stunning portrayal of country music legend Loretta Lynn in this rags to riches story set against the exciting backdrop of country music. Just as good as Spacek are Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones and Beverly D'Angelo, who shine in powerful supporting roles. Every star did their own singing, filling the soundtrack with dozens of musical treasures. A truly powerful film, simultaneously inspirational and cautionary, about the nuances and pratfalls of fame.
