Jane Fonda from 'Book Club' Reveals Dolly Parton's Fans Have an Extraordinary Devotion to the Singer

After being friends with Dolly Parton for more than 40 years, Jane Fonda has some things to say bout their relationship.

During the A&E documentary “Biography: Dolly” special, which aired earlier this month, a teary-eyed Jane Fonda talked about her friend, Dolly Parton.

Closer Weekly revealed that Jane, who has been good friends with the singer for over 40 years, made it known that Dolly had one of the most loyal fan bases in the world.

Dolly revealed that even though she won’t be marching on the streets of Washington, D.C. with her longtime friend [Jane Fonda,] she would be showing her support in other ways.

The 82-year-old actress and activist, who was overcome with emotions as she spoke, stated that people loved her because it usually felt like she opened her arms to embrace "a broad swath of people that don’t always feel seen,” through her songs.

The “Grace and Frankie” star added that her ability to speak to millions through her music was one of the reasons people loved her. The 82-year-old "Book Club" screen goddess said that:

“I’ve been with a lot of big movie stars. I’ve never seen the devotion that her fans have for her in anyone else. It’s quite extraordinary.”

Hollywood Life reported that the actress also addressed working together with Dolly on the 1980 hit movie “9 to 5”.

While Jane declared that she realized Dolly would be “perfect” for the film after she turned on the radio and heard Dolly singing “Two Doors Down,” Dolly revealed that she only wanted to be in the movie as long as she wrote the theme song.

Jane had no issues agreeing to her friend’s terms and soon after, Dolly wrote the original song “9 to 5” which went on to be nominated for an Oscar.

The actress also disclosed that Doralee, which was Dolly’s character, was based on the singer’s real-life personality. While the duo shares several things in common, the one thing that Dolly is yet to do is tag along with Jane during her climate change protests.

According to Fox News, Dolly revealed that even though she won’t be marching on the streets of Washington, D.C. with her longtime friend, she would be showing her support in other ways.

The “Jolene” hitmaker explained that people had a different way of making their voice heard so while others did things their own one way, she did her own in another way.
