Dolly Parton kicked off a side career as a movie actress in 1980’s 9 to 5 and went on to appear in seven more films over the next few decades.
The best of those was 1989’s Steel Magnolias, a sad, funny, Southern melodrama in which Parton more than holds her own opposite a cast of legends.
In between those two major successes came two troubled productions — 1982’s The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and 1984’s Rhinestone.
