Dolly Parton Snubbed by ‘Hannah Montana’ Movie
Hannah Montana's Aunt Dolly won't follow her to the big screen.
"I'm not in the movie," Dolly Parton tells Nashville's Tennessean newspaper of Disney's upcoming 'Hannah Montanta' film. "I wish I had been."
Parton has a recurring role as 'Aunt Dolly' on the 'Hannah Montana' TV show, which stars her real-life goddaughter Miley Cyrus. The country icon says she was asked by producers to reprise that role in the movie. But they apparently didn't follow through.
"I said I would love to! I assumed that they were gonna be writing me a part," she says.
Even though 'Aunt Dolly' was not included in the movie script, Parton has no hard feelings. The 63-year-old says she's grateful to 'Hannah Montana' for expanding her fan base. She's now constantly being recognized by young kids, who call her 'Aunt Dolly.'
The highly-anticipated 'Hannah Montana' movie is due in theaters April 10.
