Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt one point, Charlie asks Patsy what she's done all day, and she responds, "I've been sipping champagne with Kirk Douglas." When the scene was filmed, Jessica Lange actually said, "I've been sipping champagne with Rock Hudson," but Hudson's AIDS diagnosis was revealed before the film was released, and the producers thought a reference to him would be distracting.
- GoofsThe movie shows the car her brother was driving being broadsided by a truck, when in fact it was a head-on collision with a car coming the other direction. Patsy was thrown through the windshield, not pulled from the wreck by her brother.
- Quotes

Patsy Cline: You want a lot don't you?
Charlie Dick: Yeah I do baby.
Patsy Cline: Well people in hell want ice water - that don't mean they get it.

Featured review
One of the best movie biographies made.
I have watched this movie at least 30 times. Patsy Cline is one of my absolute favorite country singers, as I grew up in the 50's and she was both a pop and country chart topper. I also grew up in northern Minnesota, so when a fellow Minnesotan played the role of Patsy, I had to see this movie. Jessica Lange was dynamic in portraying Patsy as someone who "just wanted to make things right". The other actors in the movie also deserved oscar nominations along with Jessica, as they completed this story. This movie is being shown a lot lately on HBO, TNT, CMT, and AMC. I highly recommend it.
