Dolly Parton secretly produced "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and fans are freaking out over the resurfaced revelation.

The country icon's name never appeared in the rolling credits of the hit series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. However, Sandollar Entertainment, the production company Parton co-founded and owned, was responsible for bringing the show to life on the small screen.

Parton created Sandollar Entertainment with her former longtime manager, Sandy Gallin, in 1986. According to IMDB, the company produced "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" for its total seven seasons.

In 1992, the production company worked on the original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" feature film, meaning she had an important role in the show's genesis.

Sandollar Entertainment has also produced a number of major television shows and films, including "Father of the Bride" in 1991, the 1986 flick "Fly Away Home," and "Angel," which ran from 1999 to 2004.

It's also been discovered that Gellar's character Buffy Summers' birthday is January 19, the same day the country star was born, according to The Independent.

Parton fans were left in awe of the discovery, taking to Twitter to express their delight.

"I just found out that Dolly Parton was an uncredited--but important--producer on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I AM SHOOK Y'ALL. We do not deserve Dolly Parton, tbh," one fan wrote.

"First Dolly Parfton writes I Will Always Love You, then I find out she was a producer on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, the greatest show ever? Dolly is not only talented, but she's cool af! #DollyParton #BuffyTheVampireSlayer," wrote another social media user.

One person added: "Dolly Parton is an amazing business women in entertainment. Her being a secret producer for Buffy the vampire slayer is truly incredible. Makes me love the show that much more."

"Wait, what?" several other fans said to express their dismay.

"Just learned that @DollyParton was a producer on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and my mind is blown. Just put Dolly in charge of the world already! #womanpower #Buffy #dollyparton," another hilariously tweeted.

As of Saturday, Parton has yet to comment on her involvement on the show. The singer and songwriter, 74, appears to be keeping busy this week by sharing her "At Home" playlist with amid the coronavirus pandemic.

huh, thats surprising. who knew that buffy had a connection to dolly parton?

 

[Muttnik]

As a long-time Buffy fan, this is a welcome surprise. Finally some wholesome content.

 

[Marco Fucko]

What a way to make a living.

 

[Robert James]

What's Dollies net worth at this point? I know she owns most of gatlinburg after the fires.

 

[The Real SVP]

Was she actually involved in the production, besides owning Sandollar?

 

[Dom Cruise]

Huh, how about that?

You learn something new every day.

She's like Weird Al, he produces and funds a whole lot of shit that nobody would even associate with him.

he was the vocals in the Weezer Africa Video.

Mel Brooks did the same thing, producing films like The Elephant Man (albeit more directly and not through a proxy).

Mel Brooks did the same thing, producing films like The Elephant Man (albeit more directly and not through a proxy).

And Cronenberg's The Fly.

I think Weird Al only played Rivers in the music video for Africa. But nevertheless it's really charming when you have successful media people who aren't constantly hogging the spotlight. They just really enjoy performing.

 

[Mariposa Electrique]

Her breasts also doubled as the boom mics and makeup sponges.

 

[Y2K Baby]

Dolly Farton

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

She's such an icon. It is like how I just found out last year that Shelley Duvall was responsible for saving Nick Jr (and potentially Nickelodeon itself) from network cancellation in the early 1990s.

Fuck Considering the state she's in now, that's heartbreaking.

Not surprised. She created, and hosted two kids anthology series in the mid-eighties.

 

[TaimuRadiu]

So, her production company did it, I don't think she would have been hands on with it like, say, Lucille Ball was with Desilu.

(Fun Fact: Lucille Ball almost cancelled Star Trek after finding out Gene Roddenberry was a philanderer who had a bad habit of casting his side pieces into the show.)

 

[Notgoodwithusernames]

The more credit taken away from Joss Weaseldon the better

 

[Reverend]

If Dolly Parton was black she would've been hailed on Twitter in the same vein as Oprah. Good on Tits McSongbird for making $$$ anyway possible.

That being said 9-5 is one of the best movies of all time.

 

[Exceptionally Exceptional]

I always liked Dolly. I think it stems from the fact that when I was a kid my mom used to listen to her while cleaning.

To this day I consider her version of I Will Always Love You to be the superior version sung with more heart.

To this day I consider her version of I Will Always Love You to be the superior version sung with more heart.

Probably because it was based on her real-life divorce.
