Here we give you five of the movies Parton was a part of.

Rhinestone

Rhinestone is a classic film released in 1984. The movie starred Parton and Sylvester Stallone. Parton plays the role of a woman who wants to get out of her contract from her boss. However, since it’s illegal, she made a wager out of it. She tells her manager that she can turn anyone into a legit country singer. The manager accepted the challenge with the condition that he’ll be the one choosing the person Parton’s going to work with. The manager chooses Stallone’s character (a cab driver who has no talent in singing and who hates country music). What happened next? Well, it’s better if you watch the movie.
