In 1977, Jeannie Seely, unfortunately, sustained several injuries due to a car accident. During her recovery and in the years that followed her accident, she took on a more diverse approach appearing in films just like in Honeysuckle with Willie Nelson, acting in stage plays, and performing in concerts. She also hosted the Grand Ole Opry and even set history to be the first-ever female to do so. Aside from that, Seely also wrote a book titled Pieces of a Puzzled Mind.
