Stand by Your Man is a 1981 American made-for-television biographical film based on the life of Tammy Wynette, the country music superstar, including her tumultuous marriage to fellow star George Jones. Cast Annette O'Toole as Tammy Wynette Tim McIntire as George Jones James Hampton as Billy Sherrill Cooper Huckabee as Euple Byrd Monica Parker as Jane Robert Carnegie as Glen Daley Fredric Cook as Richard Reception The Washington Post published a largely negative review of the movie, with critic Richard Harrington stating that "Unfortunately, television will be television, and the results are lackluster and somewhat misleading." However, James Wolcott, in a review of 1985's Sweet Dreams (in which Jessica Lange played Patsy Cline), called O'Toole "superb" as Wynette.
