Tammy Wynette - Jimmy McDonough

Tammy Wynette - The BiographyTammy, born Wynette Pugh in Mississippi, bundled her three children into her car and, abandoning both a troubled marriage and a beauty shop job, roared off to make her name in the capital of country music, Nashville. An overnight success, Wynette took the persona of the tortured housewife and turned it into hit records. Yet Tammy never found the idealised love she desperately yearned for, and her soap-opera life included five husbands, four kids, thirty-plus operations and even a bizarre kidnapping attempt. Her life grew increasingly out of control until her tragic death at the age of fifty-five.
