7.5 / 10

At only thirteen years of age, Loretta Webb marries Doolittle Lynn and is soon responsible for a sizeable family. Loretta appears destined to a life of homemaking, but Doolittle recognises his wife's musical talent, and buys her a guitar as an anniversary present one year. At eighteen, the mother of four children and busy housewife still finds time to write and sing songs at small fairs and local honky-tonks. This gift sets Loretta Lynn on the gruelling, tumultuous path to superstardom and country music greatness.

so I've had this 1980 d.v.d since..... 11-8-2010....... "Coal Miner's Daughter" is the amazing true story based on the book Loretta Lynn wrote with George Vecsey. The book was the first country-musician autobiography to hit the bestseller list and sold more than a million copies in six weeks, When bringing Loretta's story to the screen, director Michael Apted assembled an incredible cast: Sissy Spacek (who won an Oscar for her role), Tommy Lee Jones, Beverly D'Angelo and Levon Helm. The result is a remarkable tale of a rousing love affair and a woman's triumph in making her name in the world. - @Tuesday, April 14, 2015 1:07 AM

As much as I read all these comments and they all sound so positive, it's just so hard for me to watch an 80's movie and take it seriously. The 80's remind me of movies like Mac and Me and I'm expecting horrible acting and effects. Either way, I'll suck it up, watch this and give an honest opinion. You guys better be right! - @Monday, January 20, 2014 10:52 PM

The legendary story of the rise of a coal miner's daughter transcends all languages and cultures. Loretta Lynn's story is amazing and doesn't occur that often in life. Also, I would like to send my blessings regarding your mother...may she rest in peace. - @Saturday, September 15, 2012 2:21 AM
