She and Lily Tomlin were nominated for an Academy Award in the category Best Supporting Actress. Both lost. Her role is considered loosely based on that of country icon Loretta Lynn, a singer whose own success came at the cost of exhaustion, loneliness, injury, bitter rivalries, exploitation, fickle audiences, obsessed fans, and an overbearing husband-manager. Ronee performed several of her own songs as Barbara Jean, including "Dues" and "My Idaho Home". The film's score received a Grammy nomination. Her only child, Sarah Blakley-Cartwright, was born on March 11, 1988. Two albums: "Welcome Home" and "Ronee Blakley".
