BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) – The next movie about Dolly Parton’s life to air on NBC will be “Jolene.”
The announcement came Thursday at a panel for TV critics about the film “Coat of Many Colors.”
The 1973 song, “Jolene,” is about one woman begging another to not steal her man.
John Sacret Young, who was a writer on “China Beach” and “The West Wing,” is penning the script.
In January, NBC announced a deal with Parton to produce TV movies inspired by her songs, stories and life.
