Apart from her collection of music awards, Dolly Parton was also a nominee for the prestigious Academy Awards. The song “9 to 5” appeared on the soundtrack of the film of the same name. The film starred Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, and Jane Fonda. Isn’t that an impressive cast? She received an Oscar nomination for a song in the 2005 film Transamerica as well. It told the tale of a transgender woman when she embarks on a road trip with her teenage son.

The song was, it goes without saying, about the 9 to 5 setup of work days. This might be why it comes as no surprise to hear how Dolly Parton is a great entrepreneur in her own right. The musician actually has numerous investments in Eastern Tennessee businesses. This includes her Dollywood theme park, of course! She also owns a dinner theatre show titled “Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede,” which tours in and around the United States of America.
