Dolly's second Showcase Artist interview aired Nov. 13 with narrator Patty Loveless. Dolly performed an acoustic version of "I Wanna Go Back There" (just Dolly and her guitar), and videos were shown for "Eagle When She Flies," "Straight Talk," and "Light of a Clear Blue Morning." Interviewed were Bill Anderson, Holly Dunn, Porter Wagoner, and Dabney Coleman (who said he believes only George Burns and Dolly have ever memorized every one of their lines in a film by the first day of rehearsal).
Some things Dolly spoke about included the following:
* How she re-evaluated her life when she went to her Tennessee Mountain Home to write the songs for Hungry Again, the 52-year-old discovering that age doesn't matter and that she has just lived long enough to truly live now.
* She said she hopes to continue to do more music, movies, and television.
* She said her greatest accomplishment was conquering her weight problem.
* She discussed her film career, saying 9 to 5 was a real joy (and that Dabney Coleman was so good to work with and helped coach her), Best Little Whorehouse in Texas was "miserable" (she was overweight, Burt Reynolds was having a breakdown after his break-up with Sally Field, it had been through numerous producers and directors), Streel Magnolias was the most fun she had had on a film since 9 to 5, and that James Woods in Straight Talk was the best kisser of all her leading men. She also said that while she enjoys working with male actors that she makes the best money and has the best time working with women; she described how well she relates to other women, saying it most likely came from her relationship with her sisters, mother, grandmothers, and aunts.
* She talked about her teen years and dating, saying, "I was a good girl. They all (the men she dates) said I was!" She added that she's always been very flirtatious and has always had a good relationship with men, making some of her best friends men, adding that this was most likely due to her relationship with her brothers, uncles, and father, giving her an understanding of and level of comfort around men.
* She told the story of how she and her husband, Carl Dean, met on her first day in Nashville at the Wishy-Washy Laundromat and fell in love immediately, marrying two years later. She added that she had a similar experience with her best friend, Judy Ogle, when they became best friends the first day they met each other in third grade.
