Sissy Spacek
Loretta Lynn chose Spacek to portray her based on a photo, although never seeing any of her films. Ironically, Spacek wanted to sing in order to scare off the studio because she didn’t want to participate in the film. Spacek also had scheduling conflicts. But in the end, she chose “Coal Miner’s Daughter” after asking for a sign and hearing the title song on the radio. Spacek’s voice and performance won her the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1981.
