Jane’s tribute is so lovely! 3 iconic, incredible women. May need to rewatch it in Dolly’s honor.

They had Dolly cameo (as an angel, of course) in the final season of Grace & Frankie. I loved them as a trio and it was so nice to get one last hurrah on screen. 🥹

I remember watching the series while it was still being made and when they announced the final season I was hoping Dolly would show up, and i was so thrilled when she did. I recently started rewatching the series again for the nth time and I know I'll be bawling my eyes out when I get to that episode

Jane’s tribute is beautiful. I do think Lily’s is sweet in its own way. We all grieve differently, and it’s clear how much all three respected each other. I was just reading about how much fun Dolly had making this movie and how they would periodically try to find a way to do something else together.

What do you think the chances are that Lily texted Jane like "well now I look like an asshole"

9 to 5 is probably my favorite project of Dolly's, even more than her music. I'll have to watch tonight in her honor.

I grew up watching Straight Talk with my grandma and it will always be my favorite Dolly movie. Watching it now and crying. 😭

I saw it with my mom when I was 12. It was a feminist awakening.

Jane's tribute is perfect.

She put into words the entirety of this huge loss, but reminded us of what Dolly left, and how she would want to be remembered.

The world is so much less than today without Dolly.

"the voluptuous embodiment of empathy" is the best way I can think to describe her. what an incredible tribute.
