Naomi Judd Fast Facts:

Gave birth to her first daughter, Wynonna, the week of her high-school graduation.
Worked as a nurse before starting her career in entertainment.
After divorcing her first husband, she moved her family from Los Angeles to Kentucky because "the kids were starting to think Hollywood was normal."
In 1983, took daughter Wynonna to a live audition for the RCA Nashville record executives, who signed them to a record deal within an hour.
Along with daughter Wynonna, became the first female country act to found their own booking agency.
Took a hiatus from performing professionally in 1991 after being diagnosed with hepatitis C and founded the Naomi Judd Research Fund. In 2000, she told Larry King that she was cured.
In April 2011, said of daughter Ashley Judd's memoir, All That Is Bitter & Sweet, that she would one day get around to reading it since she wanted to "honor her [daughter's] reality."
Has authored more than 10 books on such topics as cooking, aging and her struggles with hepatitis C.
