Nobody could have portrayed Loretta Lynn better than Sissy Spacek! And who didn't just LOVE Tommy Lee Jones as Do?

I still cannot believe that Sissy lived with Loretta, on her plantation, for a year in preparation for the role. They are still, to this day, close.

Nobody deserved an Oscar more than Sissy Spacek. She captured Loretta Lynn to a "t", both in speech and singing. A tour-de-force performance.

I have always loved the film, as I am a coal miner's daughter and my 2 daughters are also. Of course my son is a coal miner's kid, and the same for his kids. I didn't know that Spacey sang the songs herself. All good info.

I am happy for the positive comments. I loved the movie, though till now I didn't remember it was Sissy Spacek who played Loretta. And she sang for real which is amazing. And she lived with Loretta for a year and they remain friends. Nice to know.

It’s heartbreaking that Loretta Lynn passed away last week, when I found out, I was shocked… and I’m very thankful that I got to see that movie before I became deaf, and now all I can hear is a loud roar in both my ears that’s every waking moment and a murmur of my own voice…

I took my Mom to the movies to see Coal Miner's Daughter when it first came out. She loved it and was happy to see Sissy Spacek, a Czech American, in the lead role!

I love this movie! Lorretta was on The Tonight Show when she announced that Sissy would be playing her. Sissy didn’t know anything about it.

Sissy Spacek is one of the best actors ever! She is brilliant, classy, and has been true to each role she's played. I believe other actors could learn a lot from studying her films!!

I saw the movie when I was very young and it had a very powerful impact on my life. I was unaware that people lived like that. It seems like they were just above absolute poverty.

I live near where the movie was filmed in north east TN. The county made a park out of the location along the Holston River. The house and barn were burned down by arsonist a few years ago.
