Here's a two-page article on Dolly from a vintage Country Song Roundup magazine.

This one comes courtesy of Vinnie Rattolle's Records (where you can find several other out of print Dolly albums). This is the soundtrack album from NINE TO FIVE, which has become increasingly hard to find over the years. The album includes two versions of Dolly's tune that haven't been released anywhere else, along with Charles Fox's score. If you're familiar with the film, you should recognize every piece of music (except, perhaps, "Easy Time," which plays softly in the department store). The album's never had an official CD release, but this version, ripped from the cassette, sounds flawless. You'll need Winrar or a program capable of unpacking rar files in order to unzip the file.01. 9 to 5 Main Title (Dolly Parton)

One of the strangest and most highly coveted items by DP collectors is a trash can, released in the late '70s, that bears her likeness (I don't have a digital camera at the moment, or I'd provide pics). Adorning the can are these two photos by Ed Caraeff, which also appeared in his book "Dolly Close Up."
When it was first broadcast a little over a decade ago, UNLIKELY ANGEL became an instant holiday classic and one of the most beloved films amongst Dolly's fans. The title tune is often requested, but unfortunately, has never had an official release (not counting "More Than I Can Say" on her "Rainbow" album, which features nearly identical music but completely different lyrics). So here's the three tunes from the film, ripped from the DVD:01. What'cha Tryin' to Do?
02. Unlikely Angel
03. Hallelujah!
Although the film's available on DVD, they never compiled a trailer to promote the film on other discs. But last year, this short promo from the film's initial broadcast began circulating on the net:

This is a 1990 interview with Cineaste Magazine, in which Dolly covers all sorts of subjects -- from her home life to her family to politics to her then-current film, STEEL MAGNOLIAS. The magazine's probably not too well-known outside of the film world, but they're known for their rich writing and probing interviews.
Okay, this is a one-off and something you're not likely to find here again... This 1976 article from "Country Song Roundup" is about Dolly's sister, Stella. As any devout Dolly fan knows, her numerous siblings have all tried to break into show business -- with minimal success. The funny thing here is that it's an article about how Stella's "Not Just Dolly's Sister," but the photos bear an uncanny resemblance to the ones from Dolly's photo shoot for "New Harvest, First Gathering."
