LORETTA LYNN did an episode of “Watch What Happens Live” . . . and she didn’t hold back. Asked if she ever “smoked it up” with WILLIE NELSON, she said, quote, “Never. He told me how to smoke it, though.”
As for what ELVIS was like, she said, quote, “We were going to write together two weeks before he died, [but] we never got to.” She said FRANK SINATRA was a great person, and she saw DEAN MARTIN getting drunk backstage at a TV taping.
They asked if it’s true PATSY CLINE gave her a pair of panties that she wore for four years. She said, quote, “It’s true. I’d like to have another pair. She gave me more than just one.” She said Patsy always gave her clothes when she visited.
Loretta also admitted she’s talked to ghosts a few times, and she stays in touch with SISSY SPACEK, who won an Oscar playing her in “Coal Miner’s Daughter”.
