Hollywood actress Kaley Cuoco has revealed her admiration for Dolly Parton and her desire to portray the country music icon in a biopic. Cuoco, known for her role in ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ expressed her fondness for Parton after her co-star Sam Claflin suggested the idea. Cuoco mentioned her appreciation for how Dolly and her late husband maintained separate homes during an interview with NME.
Amanda Seyfried also shared her interest in playing Dolly Parton in the future, praising the singer as one of the best human beings. Dolly herself has considered turning her life story into a biopic and has expressed a preference for Kristin Chenoweth to portray her.

Dolly Parton and her husband, Carl Dean, who passed away in March 2025, were married for 58 years and kept their relationship mostly private. The iconic singer’s plans for a biopic were initially focused on a Broadway musical but shifted towards a feature film due to the impact of COVID-19. Parton highlighted her admiration for Kristin Chenoweth’s talent and suitability for the role, envisioning a portrayal of different stages of her life in the film.
