Filed under: Country News The story of June Carter Cash comes to life in the Lifetime TV movie 'Ring of Fire,' starring Jewel. The folk singer plays Johnny Cash's wife in a made-for-television movie that's centered around her life and career before and during her marriage to the Man in Black. Jewel filmed the movie in Atlanta last year, tweeting more than one picture of herself dressed as Carter Cash. The resemblance is uncanny. In March, a four-minute scene from the movie was revealed at Rolling Stone. Despite a lack of acting credits, Jewel had no trouble capturing the flirty, feisty and funny charm of the late songstress.
