In the Disney world alone, we have seen Disney Legend Miley Cyrus pen an emotional tribute to her godmother, the flags at Disneyland and Walt Disney World lowered to half-staff, and The Muppets pay homage to their former co-star.
Now, AMC Theatres has announced that it will be celebrating Dolly’s life in a unique way.

The film tells the story of a young beautician who arrives in a small Louisiana town and finds work at the local salon. There, a small group of women shares a close bond of friendship and welcomes her into the fold.
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, on the other hand, is a musical comedy starring Parton and Burt Reynolds.
