Living Proof : Hank Jr Story : Naomi Judd

Viewers of the 1983 TV movie Living Proof: The Hank Williams Jr. Story will spot more familiar faces than that of the film's star, Richard Thomas.

The first woman character used to establish that Bocephus had wandering eyes was played by none other than Naomi Judd.

"I got the part and realized I was portraying the very thing I hated--groupies," Judd wrote in her autobiography, Love Can Build a Bridge. "Being a Waltons TV show fan, it seemed almost sacrilegious to kiss the family-style show's star, Richard Thomas, who was now playing the role of Hank Jr. But I made $630--a huge amount of money for me. I had one easy line in my brief walk on. It wasn't acting. It was more like modeling." - Naomi Judd
