‘Patsy & Loretta’ will premiere Oct. 19 on Lifetime. The movie is based on the untold true story of the friendship between two of country music’s greatest icons, Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn. When the two talented women first met, Patsy was already one of the biggest stars in country music while Loretta was just a coal miner’s daughter. Patsy took Loretta under her wings to help her make it in Nashville. They became close friends and tour together, bonding over their husband troubles and commiserating on being females in the male-dominated music business. In 1963, tragedy struck Patsy died in a plane crash at the age of 30. Despite the devasting loss of her friend, Loretta continued on in the industry and is today known as the First Lady of Country Music. Loretta remains grateful to Patsy for her mentorship and friendship. Megan Hilty and Jessie Mueller star as Patsy and Loretta. See more photos of the Lifetime movie in our gallery now.
