The 'Wolf Pack' star confirmed the rumor about the music icon's behind-the-scenes role in the series to Jimmy Fallon.

Just when we thought we couldn't love Dolly Parton any more, a new nugget of information comes along and our hearts nearly explode.

Rumors have swirled for a while that country icon and possible real-life angel Parton was a secret producer on the hit '90s and early 2000s series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.


According to the vampire slayer herself the rumor is true.

Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. When asked by Fallon, Gellar confirmed the Jolene singer quietly led the show to be the massive success it was.

The Wolf Pack star revealed to Fallon:

"Little known fact, the legend Dolly Parton was a producer."
"And you know, we never saw her. We'd get Christmas gifts in the beginning that would have our name and I would think, 'She doesn't know who I am'."

But then came the gift of a lifetime for Gellar:

"And then one day somebody asked her about it and she complimented the show and my performance. And I was like, 'Oh, I can die now. Dolly Parton knows who I am and thinks I'm good'."
"Her partner was Sandy Gallin and they produced Buffy."

You can watch the full interview below.

Fans learning of the Steel Magnolias star's part in the Buffy series expressed their surprise as well as their whole-hearted delight.







We can just add Parton's uncredited producing to the long list of reasons to adore her.

Reasons like donating $1 million to vaccine research at the height of the pandemic, giving free books to children through her Imagination Library, paying for college tuition for Dollywood employees through Grow U and even paying for choir and band uniforms and instruments for students at predominately Black schools.

This doesn't even scratch the surface, but we'll stop because we could go on and on about our national treasure for days.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
