Did you know that Dolly Parton produced the 1990's TV show Buffy The Vampire Slayer? If not, you weren't alone, not many people knew that.

The New York Post reports that fans of the show were shocked and pleased to find this little information gem out.

Parton is not credited as a producer on the show itself, but a production company she co-created and oversaw brought the show to the WB in 1997.

The show credits Sandollar Entertainment, which Parton co-founded with the late Sandy Gallin in 1986. Together they produced classic family films such as Father of the Bride (1991) and Fly Away Home (1996). More recently, they brought the 2019 series Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings to Netflix.

Fans reaction to the news has been priceless on Twitter with the hashtags #dollyparton #buffythevampireslayer now trending:

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
