Dolly Parton is putting her acting skills to good use once again as she is set to star along side Megyn Price (Rules of Engagement), Brian McKnight (American Dreams) and newcomer Desiree Ross (Crossing the River) in the upcoming Lifetime Original Movie A Country Christmas Story.
A Country Christmas Story follows a young bi-racial Appalachian Mountain girl (Ross) as she defies her mother (Price) and goes against stereotype when she takes up guitar in pursuit of her dream of becoming a country star. Her journey to the stage at Dollywood and a singing competition hosted by Dolly Parton reunites her itinerant musician father (McKnight) with her family, as well as uncovering the musical legacy of African Americans in the world of country music. Mary Kay Place (Big Love, Being John Malkovich) will portray her grandmother.
Fans can catch Parton in A Country Christmas Story when it makes its premiere this weekend. The movie will air on Saturday, November 9 at 8:00PM ET/PT.
