The Grand Ole Opry presented by Humana will honor one its most beloved members, Loretta Lynn, with a Sept. 25 show celebrating her 50^th Opry Anniversary. Among the artists scheduled to participate in the celebration are Lynn, her sister Crystal Gayle, plus friends Miranda Lambert, Lee Ann Womack, Trace Adkins, and Pistol Annies, who will be making their Opry debut.

Loretta joined the Opry family on Sept. 25, 1962. Among the hundreds of accolades she has received in the years since are three Grammy Awards, eight Country Music Association Awards including the first female artist to win the coveted Entertainer of the Year (1972),  induction into the Country Music and Songwriters Halls of Fame, and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2010). Loretta’s rag-to-riches life story received the world’s attention when her autobiographical hit Coal Miner’s Daughter became a movie in 1980.
