You see, the real Dolly Parton was at the event, also known as the "Christian Oscars," to talk about her NBC made-for-TV movie, COAT OF MANY COLORS, based on the country hit she wrote about the jacket her mother stitched together for her from a basket of rags, and is set in 1955 in a farmhouse in Locust Ridge, Tennessee. The beautiful old-timey-style film was up to a top award at the gala.

She was joined by a talented child actress, Alyvia Alyn Lind, who played the nine-year-old Dolly in the film.

A true living legend, Dolly Parton, whose life is truly a rags-to-rhinestones story that began on January 19, 1946, and remains as vibrant and relevant as ever. She was born the fourth child of 12, to mother, Avie Lee and father, Robert Lee, and grew up in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. (Photo via ANS)

I asked Dolly to share about the COAT OF MANY COLORS movie and her face lit up with her famous electric smile that has brightened the lives of millions, as she explained, "The COAT OF MANY COLORS has been a favorite song of mine, and my fans, for many years; and I thought it would make a wonderful little film just to let people know the kind of wonderful warm family that I came from and the fact that we all got by on our faith. We all believed that through God, all things are possible and I like to believe that God has led me through everything.

"But the COAT OF MANY COLORS song has touched a lot of people's lives, and a lot of people relate to it not just from the faith base, but the fact that a lot of people have been bullied been made fun of or treated bad. So really I think it's touched a lot of people."

I concluded the interview... by asking Dolly what she hoped people would take away from viewing the movie. (Photo via ANS)

Once again, her face lit up as she said, "I hope they feel good and I also hope that it kind of brings them close together as a family. I think we're missing a lot of family shows and faith-based things on television, so I really hope it's been a blessing and it'll be uplifting to people and they'll just feel better about themselves."

Following this fascinating chat, surrounded by print, radio and TV journalists, the two Dollys were off to the actual award ceremony, and I am glad to report that both of them did really well.
