Arena: Stand by Your Dream: Tammy Wynette

on BBC Two England

Tonight Arena presents the moving story of the first lady of country music. At the age of 44 she's had 35 number one records, three Grammy awards, 50 albums, five husbands, four children, two grandchildren, continuing health problems and 15 operations. Yet she continues her punishing schedule driven by the dream that took her from the Alabama cotton fields to Nashville and now to Hollywood. Filmed in Los Angeles, Nashville and her childhood home in the deep South, she talks with openness about her career and her marriages, especially to country superstar George Jones. She also tells her story in her songs: 'Stand by your man', 'The bottle', 'D.I.V.O.R.C.E.' and ''Til I can make it on my own'.
