actress who played loretta lynn
Now, three and a half years after the groupâs epic Last Waltz farewell, Helm has won a whole new following playing the father of country queen Loretta Lynn in her movie bio, Coal Minerâs Daughter. Sissy Spacek, the brilliant actress in the title role, flatteringly found Levon âstrong enough to be sensitive.â Loretta herself decided he didnât need coaching, because âhe looked so much like Daddy, I figured he just knew.â But donât expect Helm, 39, to don a pair of Foster Grants, leave his modest home in Springdale, Ark. and head for Hollywood.
