Sarah and Minnie were two very different individuals. While Sarah was highly educated, serious, intelligent, and ambitious with a love for breaking convention, Minnie was straightforward, playful, and traditional. However, despite their differences, they both shared big dreams. In the 1930s, it seemed impossible for a girl hailing from a small Tennessee town to make a name for herself as a Shakespearian actress on the world stage. Yet, Sarah managed to do it, becoming a recognizable figure with her iconic costume and unchanging opening line. Above all, Sarah's legacy was one of kindness, strength, and originality, but most importantly, she brought joy and humor to all those around her. Though her story was complex, her influence in country music history remains ever-present, even though music was not her true calling.
