$$$

In 1965, at age 30, Loretta Lynn became country music’s first female millionaire.


I found this in an article about her from 48 Hours on CBS.
She says she would do things differently if given another chance: “If I knew how my life would have been, no, I wouldn’t do it over again…. It’s been tough, it’s been a tough life for me.”

“She lived a lonely life, a lonely life and so did dad,” says Cissie. “She has had this unbelievable success but that doesn’t make up for lonely. That doesn’t make up for coming home one day and your children are all grown up and married.”

In 1984, Lynn lost a son, Jack Benny, in a drowning accident. In 1996, she lost her husband Doo. Despite their ups and downs, she never left his side as he battled complications related to diabetes. They were married for 48 years. “I miss everything about him. There was no decision I ever made without talking it over with him. It’s hard because who do you go to now?” she asks.

Lynn and her five surviving children are now trying to become the family they never were. Cissie and Betty Sue run Lynn’s Hurricane Mills spread, where two millions fans visit each year.

When Lynn goes on the road, three of her kids are by her side: Ernest, her oldest, was her manager for a time, and still performs with her; Loretta’s twins Patsy and Peggy, known professionally as the Lynns, sing with her in her act.

I used to know her daughter Betty but we lost touch.

You would think she could afford to fix-up her house, but I guess it was in her best interest to maintain the trappings of poverty.

My friend Alan was kissed by Loretta Lynn when he was 5 yrs. old. It's one of his proudest claims to fame...

Lorreta has got to be one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure to meet. She is humble, but you can definatly see the life she has lead on her face.

Van Leer Rose is one of my favorite cd,s. The first lady of country music indeed!
