Talk:Coal Miner's Daughter (film)

message: Shouldn't this article be 'Coal Miner's Daughter (film)' since there is also the book on which it is based which is notable enough to have its own article at some point?  Rlquall 20:02, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm watching the commentaries and other extras on the 25th anniversary DVD, but I'm a bit too tired to put the info in there correctly, so I'm parking it here for now:
* In her interview with Apted, LL not only repeats the story about picking Sissy Spacek's picture out of a pile of 8x10s, she also says that while SS was studying her, they appeared at the Grand Ole Opry about three times and "Opry members could not tell when I would quit a verse and she'd take on a verse. Now that's how close we were." (in terms of the sound) She also says that SS's mimicry of her accent was so accurate that LL's twin daughters, age nine at the time of the film, said to her, "Mommy, I want you to quit talking like Sissy Spacek."
* In their commentary, Apted and Spacek mention several times their conviction that they were permitted to take certain directions in the filming, such as allowing Spacek to sing the songs herself, only because the studio did not believe the movie would be very successful and thus did not feel the need to supervise closely. They also say that they believe the reason that Tommy Lee Jones was not recognized with any acting awards was because Doolittle Lynn was not well-known, and therefore, those who chose the nominees had no background to recognize the excellence of his portrayal. Lynn also expresses in her interview that she believes Jones' portrayal was exceptionally accurate and merited awards.

message: Coal Miner's Daughter was also released on VHS sometime in the early 1980s, when Universal was still using the "MCA Videocassette" brand for VHS releases. My family has a copy of this release somewhere. -lee (talk) 01:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  What is it? 

message: Article very briefly says that "Harrison Ford was originally cast."  This needs two things:  1: Who was Ford originally cast as?  I assume Doolittle Lynn or Ted Webb, but don't know.  2:  This statement needs a citation.  Thanks.  Sir Rhosis (talk) 18:59, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
