About the film: "
Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors" is based on the inspiring true story of living legend
Dolly Parton's remarkable upbringing. This once-in-a-lifetime movie special takes place inside the tight-knit Parton family as they struggle to overcome devastating tragedy and discover the healing power of love, faith, and a raggedy patchwork coat that helped make Parton who she is today.
The film is set in the Tennessee Great Smokey Mountains in 1955. It is neither a biopic nor musical about Dolly's whole life and performing career, but rather a family-oriented faith-based story about the incidents in her and her family's life around the time she was 9 years old.
Alyvia Lind will portray 9-year-old
Dolly Parton, with
Jennifer Nettles as Parton's mother, Rick Schroeder as her father and
Gerald McRaney as her grandfather.
"
Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors" is written by Pamela K. Long. She executive produces with Sam Haskell and
Dolly Parton. The film is a production of Magnolia Hill Entertainment and DP Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
