Dolly Parton RIP (infosec.pub)

The very first movie she ever made was 9-5 and she was paired with two actresses who can only be described as titans of the industry.

Parton was amazing on screen and didn’t just share screen time with Tomlin and Fonda but she owned the scenes. When you see her in that movie you would think she had been acting her entire life.

I guess it is not too surprising, she had been a performer for years when she did that but that was a role for the ages.

RIP to one of the best..

And she wrote the theme tune in between takes.
