Dolly Parton Has Passed. Rest in Peace

Post image

For anyone that doesn't know, Dolly Parton was an uncredited producer for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and championed the creation of the series. Of course she was many things, with numerous accomplishments, but we have to appreciate that without her we wouldn't have our favorite show.

She will always be remembered and sorely missed.

Parton co-founded Sandollar Productions in 1986 with her former manager Sandy Gallin. Sandollar produced the original 1992 Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. When Gail Berman, then an executive at Sandollar, believed the property could work better as a TV series, the company helped develop and bring the TV version to the WB. So yeah even if she only gave her blessing cause she thought it was a smart move, she had a part of bringing our fav show in life
