DAUGHTER CARLENE CARTER SHARES ANOTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY MUSIC LEGEND'S REMARKABLE LIFE
Memories of My Mom, JUNE CARTER CASH

When Carlene Carter was just starting her music career, her mom, June Carter Cash, liked to surprise her at her performances. “I was playing at rock clubs, and my mom would show up with one of her girlfriends wearing different- colored wigs. I would look down and there’d be June dancing up-front and going, ‘Whoo, baby!’”

June, a five-time Grammy Award winner, had a way of making the most out of every moment. She began performing professionally with her family at 10 and achieved success as a singer, songwriter, actress and author. “She lived a life that is a hero’s journey,” says Kristen Vaurio, director of June, a new documentary streaming on Paramount+. “Her whole life was such an amazing epic story.”
