Dolly Parton is mourning the death of actor Dabney Coleman.
The Emmy-winning actor, who died earlier this month at the age of 92, starred alongside Parton in the hit 1980 “9 to 5,” playing the sexist boss of a trio of fed-up employees, played by Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, who decide to get their revenge on him. “Dabney was a great actor and became a dear friend. He taught me so much when I was doing my first movie, 9 to 5,” Parton wrote May 20 on Instagram. “He was funny, deep and smart.
Parton was already a big music star when the comedy came out, but the movie — which was indeed her first — certainly boosted her profile. “She is, on the basis of this one film, a natural-born movie star, a performer who holds our attention so easily that it’s hard to believe it’s her first film,” acclaimed movie critic Roger Ebert wrote in his review. “I think that she is a big movie star and, really, it’s exciting to see a new movie star,” Gene Siskel said about her performance.
