TOMMY LEE JONES
Past Gem: Coal Miner's Daughter (1980)

Everyone remembers Sissy Spacek's tour-de-force performance as Loretta Lynn in this biopic, but what about Jones as the country legend's husband, Doo? He's with her, lovin' and fightin,' every step of the way — taking her away from her impoverished hometown, buying her her first guitar, and inspiring her hits about love, betrayal, and keeping your man in line.
