Country star Dolly Parton has confirmed she's writing a movie and musical about her own amazing life— and she'll play herself on the big screen.

The singer/actress, who is receiving rave reviews in Los Angeles for writing the stage version of her hit movie 9 To 5, is hoping to follow up that project with a life story double whammy.

Parton reveals three actresses will portray her at different points in her life onstage— and she'd play the current Dolly if the musical is picked up as a movie.

She says, "I'm writing my own life story as a musical. I won't even probably be in it, but, if I do it as a movie, I would play the later part. It would be done with three Dollys I think."

I love Dolly Parton too! It's been a while since I've seen her on the big screen and I've always loved her movies (especially "Steel Magnolias"!). Plus she's a great singer! I can't see this film being anything but great, so I'm adding it to my "movies to see in the future" list right now!

I Love "Steel Magnolias" too. Such a great chic movie. It always makes me cry.

I would love to see a Dolly movie, i think it would be very interesting she is a very talented artist.
