“Every time I come here I feel all the history, all the music that’s been played. Khouri knows the theater intimately having shot a lot of scenes from “Nashville” there. The film was shot in Nashville, including at the historic Ryman Auditorium, where both singers have performed and the former home of the Grand Ole Opry. “It’s about this beautiful supportive friendship between women and that is rarely done.
What not many people are aware of is their friendship,” said Megan Hilty, who plays Cline.
We all know the story of Loretta Lynn’s life. “We all know the story of Patsy Cline’s life. But both were dealing with industry demands on how they looked and sang, juggling being mothers with their careers and clashing with husbands that liked to fight and drink. Their styles were different, with Cline’s powerful, almost theatrical voice made her one of country’s first crossover artists, while Lynn penned songs about rural life and honky-tonk women. In the film, Cline is at the peak of her career with hits like “Walking After Midnight” and “I Fall to Pieces,” while Lynn is a young singer-songwriter from Kentucky just getting her footing in Nashville. “I loved both of the artists of course and the fact that they had this really incredible bond.” “I was just blown away because it was a time before we really knew much about any of the women in country music,” said Khouri.
