There are very few people in entertainment who have been part of our lives for this long and still feel like the same person we first fell in love with.
Dolly Parton made her movie debut in 9 to 5 in 1980 alongside Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, then wrote the title song herself. It became a No. 1 hit, won two Grammys and earned her an Oscar nomination.
That song is 45 years old now, and you can still hear the opening and know exactly what’s coming.
That’s Dolly. The voice, the humor, the songwriting, the personality. She’s been doing it her way for more than six decades and somehow never stopped feeling like Dolly.
Happy 9 to 5 Day to one of the true originals.
