BACK TO TELEVISION

Dolly Parton made her second attempt at television with “Dolly” in 1987, a variety program that saw her entertain some of the biggest celebrities in the world. While the show featured a host of famous guests, in reality, her parents made a lasting impression.

During a special Thanksgiving episode, Dolly reunited with her family outside the one-room hut where she spent her childhood. Despite its star-studded lineup, the show only lasted one year with 22 episodes.
