Dolly Parton filmography

Parton's popularity exploded following a string of appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson beginning in 1977, and she went on to be prominently featured in numerous television specials, including ones headlined by Mac Davis and Cher, with whom she shared manager Sandy Gallin.

However, the soundtrack yielded two top 10 hits for Parton, "Tennessee Homesick Blues" and "God Won't Get You".

During the 1987–1988 television season, Parton attempted a second variety show on ABC, also titled Dolly.

Parton starred in the 1989 film Steel Magnolias with Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine and Julia Roberts.

The film received mixed reviews, with most of the praise going to Parton and Woods' performances, while criticizing the storyline.

In 1994 Parton starred in two pilot episodes for sitcoms, Heavens to Betsy,[1][2][3] and Mindin' My Own Business, neither of which were ordered to series.

Parton starred in the 2012 film Joyful Noise with Queen Latifah, Keke Palmer and Jeremy Jordan.
