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..

Don't skimp on the donations to her book program for kids. The enduring scum have started to cut funding in US states they control.
