June, then 16, was a co-announcer with Ken Allyn and did the commercials on the radio shows for Red Star Flour, Martha White, and Thalhimers Department Store, just to name a few.

[3] For the next year {1946}, the Carters and Doc and Carl did show dates within driving range of Richmond, through Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania.

With her thin and lanky frame, June Carter often played a comedic foil during the group's performances alongside other Opry stars Faron Young and Webb Pierce.

After Doc and Carl dropped out of the music business in late 1946, Maybelle and her daughters moved to Sunshine Sue Workman's "Old Dominion Barn Dance" on the WRVA Richmond station.

In 1949, the Carter Sisters and Mother Maybelle, with their lead guitarist, Atkins, were living in Springfield, Missouri, and performing regularly at KWTO.

Here the family befriended Hank Williams and Elvis Presley (to whom they were distantly related), and June met Johnny Cash.

Her acting roles included Mrs. "Momma" Dewey in Robert Duvall's 1998 movie The Apostle, Sister Ruth, wife to Johnny Cash's character Kid Cole, on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993–97), and Clarise on Gunsmoke in 1957.

She was notable as Mayhayley Lancaster playing alongside husband Cash in the 1983 television movie Murder in Coweta County.

As a solo artist, she became somewhat successful with upbeat country tunes of the 1950s, such as "Jukebox Blues" and the comedic hit "No Swallerin' Place" by Frank Loesser.

In the early 1960s, Carter wrote the song "Ring of Fire", which later went on to be a hit for her future husband, Johnny Cash.

Vivian relates the story that Cash told her in 1963: he wrote the song with Kilgore and Curly Lewis while fishing and he was going to give Carter half credit because "[s]he needs the money.

In 1967, the two found more substantial success with their recording of "Jackson", which was followed by a collaboration album, Carryin' On with Johnny Cash and June Carter.

Appalachian Pride is the only one of the three on which Johnny Cash does not perform, while Press On is notable for featuring Carter singing her original arrangement of "Ring of Fire".

It contains bonus video enhancements showing extracts from the film of the recording sessions, which took place at the Carter Family estate in Hiltons, Virginia, on September 18–20, 2002.

The songs on the album include "Big Yellow Peaches", "Sinking in the Lonesome Sea", "Temptation", and the trademark staple "Wildwood Flower".

The album consists of previously unreleased recordings from the early 1980s, including two on which June Carter Cash provides duet vocals.

Their daughter died in 2003, at the age of 45, from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in a school bus that had been converted into a campervan.

[13] Carter also had close relationships with a number of entertainers, including Audrey Williams, James Dean, Patsy Cline,[14] Loretta Lynn,[15] Jessi Colter, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley,[14] Robert Duvall, and Roy Orbison.

[21] Carter and her then-future husband, Johnny Cash, reached number 2 on the U.S. Country charts with their 1967 duet of "Jackson".

When Cash died in 2003, their family asked that donations be made to the SOS Children's Villages due to the couple's involvement.

The film largely focused on the development of their relationship over the course of 13 years, from their first meeting to her final acceptance of his proposal of marriage.

Witherspoon performed all vocals for the role, singing many of Carter's famous songs, including "Juke Box Blues" and "Jackson" with Phoenix.

[26] Musician and actress Jewel portrayed Carter in the Lifetime television movie Ring of Fire, which aired on May 27, 2013.
