Parton Xmas movie includes Nelson, Allen, Cyrus
Parton will play the lead role. The production also Tom Everett Scott, Ana Gasteyer and Angel Parker. The movie is slated to air this holiday season.
A modern-day movie musical about the making of a network TV special, "Dolly Parton's Mountain Magic Christmas" is the backstage story and on-camera results of Dolly's desire to share "mountain magic" she has found at Dollywood at Christmas. Throughout the movie's production numbers and rehearsal chaos, Parton takes a private journey into her past, guided by the appearances of her own Three Wise Mountain Men. When it's time for her special to air, Parton goes rogue and shows that the true magic of Christmas lies in the hearts of the children we all once were, the people we share it with, and how her faith remains the common thread at Christmas.
David Rambo will write and executive produce with Sam Haskell and Parton. Joe Lazarov will direct and executive produce. Hudson Hickman will executive produce, and Billy Levin will serve as producer.
Warner Bros. Television will produce in association with Magnolia Hill Productions and Sandollar Productions.

In 2022, when she was elected to ...
The Dolly Parton album, "Run, Rose, Run," is an aural companion to an original novel of the same name that the county music icon co-authored with popular novelist, James Patterson. Songs are inspired by characters in the book, and encouragement is a primary lyrical theme, from start to finish. It's simply put, one feel good collection of songs.
This country star has given us a decidedly traditional country album. "Driven," for example, incorporates plenty of fiddle and ...
A Dolly Parton Christmas album seems like a natural, as Parton oftentimes comes off like a child inside an adult's body. Parton was able to rope both famous Cyruses (Miley and Billy Ray) as well Jimmy Fallon, Willie Nelson and Michael Bublé to sing with her. Perhaps, best of all, Parton had a hand in writing half of these dozen songs.
