3. Spacek Toured With Lynn Before The Film
As we said earlier, Spacek sang all of her songs in the film on her own. Beverly D’Angelo, who played country legend Patsy Cline, also did all of her own singing in the film.
In order to make sure that she portrayed Lynn as accurately as possible, Spacek followed her on tour before filming. In doing so, she tried to pick up on Lynn’s mannerisms both on and off the stage. Obviously the technique worked, since Spacek received high praise and many awards her role.
