It was a beautiful made for TV movie on a few nights ago. :) A biography of Dolly and her family when she was a little girl. It centered a lot around that song of Dolly's 'A coat of many colors" which was a true story of a coat her Mom made her, and all the kids at school made fun of it! :( I watched it with my son's girlfriend , it was very heartfelt, we were in tears during parts of it! And it was very sweet, fun and uplifting as well!;) The little girl who played Dolly (Alyvia Alyn Lind ) was FANTASTIC!!! A really good choice to play her! She was adorable! :)
And Jennifer Nettles, Ricky Schroeder and Gerald McRaney were really good as her parents and Grandfather! ;)

Yes. It was an excellent movie, very nice to see a positive portrayal of Christianity on a broadcast network for a change. And Coat of Many Colors did well in the ratings, won both its hours in the demo.

The NBC movie based on Parton’s early life (http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/12/dolly-parton-coat-of-many-colors) is unabashedly schmaltzy.

I'm a huge Dolly fan so I made an appointment to watch it.
I wasn't disappointed any. Excellent movie I would highly recommend anyone watching. I'm hoping they release it on DVD.

I know! ;) :) I thought it was as good if not better than a movie that was made for the theatre! The acting was really good! ;)

I love Dolly!!! And that little actress was just like how I would picture Dolly as a child, sweet yet sassy!!;) As her Mama would say " Dolly Rebecca Parton" :D Perfect casting!!! And Ricky Schroeder (the little boy from Silver Spoons) all grown up and playing the Father and playing the part so very well!!!;)
