As I did, folks wondered "How the hell is she going to play Loretta Lynn?"<br /><br />I didn't go to see "Coal Miner's Daughter" until I heard that Loretta had left a screening of the picture with tears streaming down her face, saying "Yes, that's my life. That's my story."<br /><br />If you're a Loretta fan, and you haven't seen CMD, see it. Sissy gives a wonderful performance and it has Loretta's approval.<br /><br />ldbLarry D.

Conway had done an hour, Loretta had done an hour and then they did an hour of duets.<br /><br />After the show, I went backstage and talked to Conway for a few minutes and then went to Loretta's dressing room. She was sitting on the counter with her acoustic guitar, singing a special song for a blind fellow whose life's ambition was to meet Loretta Lynn.<br /><br />I've met many country music stars of the 60s and 70s, and Loretta is, very simply, special. Regardless of her well-deserved fame, she's never lost sight of her roots and her fans. She's always the same person -- a country gal who loves singing for folks and loves talking to them.<br /><br />Doo was a real classic too. I'll never forget the time I called Loretta's room at the Sheraton Universal and Doo answered the phone.<br /><br />I said, "Can I speak to Loretta?" Doo's response was, "Loretta's in the tub right now and cain't talk to y'all. Can y'all call back in about 15 minutes?"<br /><br />Wonderful people, both of them.<br /><br />ldbLarry D.

I thought I quantified my statement with the word "now" he is at a point in his career where he can choose roles that epitimize his talent, but even with that statement I do not want to diminish what he accomplished in much of his earlier work. <br /><br />Brent why don't go watch an art flick with no storyline, plot or dialogue and attempt to read into the subtlety of the script with the hope of being emotionally moved in a way that you thought you could only experience through the touch of another man.Lylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757146110731808926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7289097555676052916.post-39046715912433032042010-06-29T17:21:28.068-05:002010-06-29T17:21:28.068-05:00And lets not forget the giant steaming turds that ...And lets not forget the giant steaming turds that are"The Hunted" and "Whatever Batman movie he was in as 2 face"Hoopernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7289097555676052916.post-55867232671280183842010-06-29T15:23:47.514-05:002010-06-29T15:23:47.514-05:00Lyle, did you happen to catch Jones showing off hi...Lyle, did you happen to catch Jones showing off his acting chops in Man of the House?

Yea, thats right...I said it. Not that he ever really made any bad choices, but he is at the Clint Eastwood point in his career where now if he selects a role you know the movie is going to be good and the role will fit him.Lylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757146110731808926noreply@blogger.com
