Dottie West - the forgotten Country Star

During the 60s and 70s, you would always see Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, and Dottie West. Now very few remember her name.

Tragic, especially how she died.

That B mean, R2.

Almost everything she did was lousy except for Country Sunshine which is a deserved classic. Bitch was smart enough to include a reference to Coke and it got her a commercial endorsement.

She always seemed kind of trampy.

Michele Lee was an odd choice to play her in the TV movie about her life and death.

Thanks, R4, what a pleasant song.

I’ve always appreciated Dottie’s trashy sense of glamor. She lived through years of sexual abuse as a girl, fame, failed marriages, and saw it all crash down (literally and financially).

The theater where she caught her fatal ride to the Opry is now a FedEx Office a short walk from my townhouse.

Michele Lee also played Jacqueline Sussan in the made-for-tv movie of her life...she was really the go to gal for celeb made for tv biopics

No one is named Dottie any longer.

R9 -- I live close to you, off West End, in Midtown. Small world. The theater was a Barnes and Noble for a while, and has been vacant forever. I was hoping someone would do what they did with Sinema: make a nice restaurant there. Other than 360 Bistro, there really aren't many good restaurants out that way, and you'd think with all the money in Belle Meade, there would be more.

Nashville sounds like NYC.

R14, trust me, it is nothing like NYC! I used to live on the UWS. I would do anything to move back.
