Continuity mistake: When Loretta Lynn is at the radio station asking why the disc jockey had lied to them about playing her record, you see the picture of her that they took at home. It is a completely different pose than the one that you saw them take a couple of scenes earlier. She is looking in a different direction and she is not smiling as much as she was when they took it.
Coal Miner's Daughter (1980)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: Michael Apted
Starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Sissy Spacek, Levon Helm, Phyllis Boyens, Phyllis Boyens-Liptak
Factual error: Doolittle Lynn is visiting Loretta when she is 13, which would be around 1945. The jeep he is driving is at least a 1949 model. Pre-1949 jeeps had a split windshield. Also the civilian jeep wasn't introduced until 1946, so in his first appearance he would have to be driving a military issued jeep.
Loretta Lynn: I just can't believe I'm sittin' here talkin' to Patsy Cline.
Patsy Cline: You act like you ain't never seen a glamorous country music singer before.
