Born Loretta Webb, she was the second of eight children. Her baby sister is country singer Crystal Gayle. She was the daughter of a coal miner and her childhood was spent in abject poverty. As a result, it influenced her music in later years. Loretta married only once—48 years to husband Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn (he was also called "Doo" and "Mooney"). They married in 1948 in her home state of Kentucky, a few months before Loretta turned 14. She gave birth to four children before she was age 18, and then had twin daughters in 1963. She became a first-time grandmother when she was the ripe-old age of 29.
Her marriage to Doo, for the most part, was rocky, and she considered leaving Doo several times because of his drinking and unfaithfulness. In her 2002 autobiography, Still Woman Enough: A Memoir, she shared many of her heartaches during the marriage: Doo left her when she was pregnant, slept with her brother’s wife, and also left her alone to deliver a baby son on her own, drank heavily all the time, spent her money like it was going out of style. They fought all the time. But, she never left him. In a 2002 CBS News interview, she said that despite everything, she loved him and was concerned how a divorce would harm her children. "I didn't need him, but he was my kids' daddy. Why leave hearts laying on the floor for me. I had to think of my kids. I can't be that selfish. He broke my heart lots of time, but that woulda broke the kids' hearts, wouldn't it?" Doo died in 1996 from diabetes brought on by his alcoholism.
Two of Loretta's daughters run the family's Hurricane Mills ranch in Tennessee, where two millions fans and tourists visit each year. Loretta took ownership of it in 1966. It includes campgrounds, a concert pavilion, a western town, and the Coal Miner's Daughter Museum. Tour show the plantation home where Loretta lived until she built a new house a few years ago, a museum, and a replica of the cabin in which she was born. The Amateur National Motocross Championships are held at Hurricane Mills every year.
Nicknamed "The First Lady of Country Music," Loretta's accomplishments as a solo artist and with singing partner Conway Twitty are inspiring and laudable. She has written more than 160 songs and released 70 albums. She has had 17 Number 1 albums and 16 Number 1 singles on the country charts. She's won numerous awards for her albums and singles, setting remarkable records in many categories. One of these was when she was selected to be the first woman to win the Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year trophy in 1972 (a huge honor) and Loretta was the first country star to appear on the cover of Newsweek Magazine in 1973. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1986. In 2003, Loretta was a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors. Even in her 70s, she was still penning new songs and performing at packed concerts.
According to his 1974 autobiography, before Harland Sanders became a world-famous Colonel, he was a sixth-grade dropout, a farmhand, an army mule-tender, a locomotive fireman, a railroad worker, an aspiring lawyer, an insurance salesman, a ferryboat entrepreneur, a tire salesman, an amateur obstetrician, an (unsuccessful) political candidate, a gas station operator, a motel operator and finally, a restaurateur.
At the age of 65, a new interstate highway snatched the traffic away from his Corbin, Ky., restaurant and Sanders was left with nothing but a Social Security check and a secret recipe for fried chicken.
As it turned out, that was all he needed.
Sanders was born in Henryville, Ind., in 1890. Six years later, his father died, forcing his mother to enter the workforce to support the family. At the tender age of six, young Harland was responsible for taking care of his younger siblings and doing much of the family's cooking. A year later he was already a master of several regional dishes. Over the course of the next 30 years, Sanders held many of the jobs listed above, but throughout it all his skill as a cook remained.
In 1930, the then 40-year-old Sanders was operating a service station in Corbin, Kentucky, and it was there that he began cooking for hungry travelers who stopped in for gas. He didn't have a restaurant yet, so patrons ate from his own dining table in the station's humble living quarters. It was then that he invented what's called “home meal replacement” — selling complete meals to busy, time-strapped families. He called it, “Sunday Dinner, Seven Days a Week.”
As Sanders' fame grew, Governor Ruby Laffoon made him a Kentucky Colonel in 1935 in recognition of his contributions to the state's cuisine. Within four years, his establishment was listed in Duncan Hines' “Adventures in Good Eating.”
As more people started coming strictly for the food, he moved across the street to increase his capacity. Over the next decade, he perfected his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices and the basic cooking technique that is still used today.
In 1955, confident of the quality of his fried chicken, the Colonel devoted himself to developing his chicken franchising business. Less than 10 years later, Sanders had more than 600 KFC franchises in the U.S. and Canada, and in 1964 he sold his interest in the U.S. company for $2 million to a group of investors including John Y. Brown Jr. (who later became governor of Kentucky).
Until he was fatally stricken with leukemia in 1980 at the age of 90, the Colonel traveled 250,000 miles a year visiting KFC restaurants around the world. His likeness continues to appear on millions of buckets and on thousands of restaurants in more than 100 countries around the world.
Not bad for a man who started from scratch at retirement age.
Take your cut up chicken pieces and skin them if you prefer. Put the flour in a large plastic bag (let the amount of chicken you are cooking dictate the amount of flour you use). Season the flour with paprika, salt and pepper to taste (paprika helps to brown the chicken).
Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk then, a few at a time, put them in the bag with the flour, seal the bag and shake to coat well. Place the coated chicken on a cookie sheet or tray, and cover with a clean dish towel or waxed paper. LET SIT UNTIL THE FLOUR IS OF A PASTE-LIKE CONSISTENCY. THIS IS CRUCIAL!
Fill a large skillet (cast iron is best) about 1/3 to 1/2 full with vegetable oil. Heat until VERY hot. Put in as many chicken pieces as the skillet can hold. Brown the chicken in HOT oil on both sides. When browned, reduce heat and cover skillet; let cook for 30 minutes (the chicken will be cooked through but not crispy). Remove cover, raise heat again and continue to fry until crispy.
Drain the fried chicken on paper towels. Depending on how much chicken you have, you may have to fry in a few shifts. Keep the finished chicken in a slightly warm oven while preparing the rest.
