Dolly Parton had a very emotional reaction to watching Coat of Many Colors, the upcoming NBC-TV movie of her life. The superstar viewed it for the first time in private with her sister Stella Parton. Dolly told People, “It’s too emotional to watch with a bunch of people because we lose our eyelashes – we wear a lot of makeup. We cried our eyes out. It brought us back together as family and made us miss mama and daddy a lot. They’re gone now, but we get a chance to see our brothers and sisters again and when we were little, and think of mama and daddy and all that they meant to us.”
Coat of Many Colors stars Jennifer Nettles, Ricky Schroder, and Alyvia Alyn Lind, who plays Dolly as a child. The movie airs on December 10th at 9 p.m. ET.
