Beginning on Friday, Aug. 28, AMC Theatres will offer special presentations of “Steel Magnolias” and “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” in approximately 200 locations across the U.S., including Parton’s home state of Tennessee. Participating theatres will offer two matinee screenings daily until Sept. 2 — including one showing of each title — at AMC Fan Faves value pricing.
In the 1989 comedy-drama “Steel Magnolias,” Parton demonstrated her acting range as part of an all-star ensemble that included Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis and Daryl Hannah. In the film, about a group of Southern women weathering life’s storms, Parton played Truvy Jones, a beauty technician whose wisdom was as potent as the hairspray that lifted her teased roots.
Showtimes and ticket information for the Dolly Parton retrospective will be available through the AMC mobile app and on the theater chain’s website.
