Dolly Parton Excited About Returning to the Screen
It seems like Dolly Parton is more than ready to jump out of bed and head straight to the kitchen for a memorable cameo in Jennifer Aniston's remake of the classic 1980 workplace comedy, 9 to 5. This film originally starred Dolly herself, alongside Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, and now the legendary country singer is expressing her excitement about revisiting her iconic role. “I’m hoping they use my song, and I’m hoping they might find a way to have Lily, Jane and me come back in,” Dolly enthusiastically shares. Her words carry a sense of nostalgia and anticipation, reminding fans of the magic the original film brought to life.
Why Miley Cyrus Could Be Perfect for the Role
Dolly Parton has also expressed her desire to see her goddaughter, Miley Cyrus, cast in her original role as Doralee Rhodes. “Wouldn’t she be great? Well, she knows me. She knows the memories that I have [from 9 to 5],” Dolly fondly shares. This casting choice could not only bring fresh energy to the remake but also honor the legacy of the original film. Miley, with her unique talent and charm, could bring a modern twist to the character while staying true to its roots.
Looking Back at the Journey
The “Jolene” singer reflects on her journey with 9 to 5, recalling her first conversation with Jennifer Aniston about the remake back in 2018. “Years ago, when we did the movie Dumplin’, there was some mention she might want to do 9 to 5, and I said, ‘Oh, that would be great,’” Dolly fondly remembers. Although she didn’t appear in the film Dumplin’, which starred Jennifer alongside Danielle Macdonald, she allowed the filmmakers to use her music for the soundtrack. In fact, she even recorded a new song with Sia for the project, showing her willingness to support creative endeavors that resonate with her.
