Mike MatthewsHOST
Despite being a country music legend, few stories had anything to do with country music with these stories.
Mike MatthewsHOST
My Dolly story, says Dennis, is that the movie Steel Magnolias, in which she starred with Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Olympia Dukakis, Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, Julia Roberts.
Mike MatthewsHOST
Oh, and don't forget my favorite, who sometimes pops up on the show, because I'm a huge fan of Northern Exposure, Janine Turner, was filmed in my elementary school hometown of Natchitoches, Louisiana.
Mike MatthewsHOST
Natchitoches.
TerryHOST
So they feel realistic to a point.
Gregg McBrideGUEST
I think this movie may be the best evidence that Dolly can act, because she's not carrying the movie, but she's surrounded by Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, ding, ding, ding, my personal connection to Dolly, Olympia Dukakis, Daryl Hannah, as you mentioned, Julia Roberts, and she belongs there.
Gregg McBrideGUEST
She doesn't strain to compete.
Gregg McBrideGUEST
She understands ensemble acting, and that is a real underrated skill.
Tony MaiettaHOST
So she was not Julia Roberts yet.
Tony MaiettaHOST
She was an actress who, A young actress surrounded by icons, surrounded by Sally Field and Olympia Dukakis and Shirley MacLaine and Dolly Parton.
Tony MaiettaHOST
So he would give Julia Roberts a really hard time just haranguing her, making her cry, just back and forth.
Tony MaiettaHOST
And then he tried it with Dolly.
Tony MaiettaHOST
I love Shirley MacLaine, but I think Shirley MacLaine is a bit much in Steel Magnolias.
Tony MaiettaHOST
I think she's a little too over the top as Weezer.
Tony MaiettaHOST
I love Olympia Dukakis, but she's just a little too syrupy in that part.
Tony MaiettaHOST
But Dolly is just – she just is.

Emily FlemingHOST
Like, she can dish it, but she cannot take it.

Emily FlemingHOST
