She may not have always been the focal point of the large ensemble cast in Robert Altman’s “Nashville” but Barbara Jean was presented as the budding singing star of the Country Music capital. Played by Ronee Blakely in what was the role of her life, Barbara Jean was emotionally fragile and super talented; a common elixir for the young stars of any musical genre. Blakely was nominated for an Academy Award (Supporting Actress) for this role.
