I'm gonna date myself a little bit but I remember watching her and Dolly Parton on The Porter Wagoner Show. That and the Red Skelton Show were two of my favs ...
Boy, I hate that she is gone! Nearly all the good ones have departed and no one can fill their shoes. They try but they're miserable failures. May she rest in peace!
One of the stories they told at my grandfather's funeral this year was that the only time the kids ever saw him and my grandmother bicker was when Coal Miner's Daughter released. She kept asking him to go see the movie (she is a coal miner's daughter from Pike County, KY) and he kept putting it off. Well about the 4th night of this, she sat a cold sandwich down in front of him at the table.
He stared at it for a couple of seconds, then turned to her and immediately said, "Hey, do you wanna go see that movie?"
