Well, yeah I have. I've had different people mention it.
But I don't have any desire to be in the movies.
I just want to, you know, do good at my
singing and my writing, and I keep trying. One of
these days I might make it. But I really don't
have any desire to be in the movies unless it
would be something where I could just sing a song
or maybe do a comedy show or something i'd enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I must repeat something I said the first time I
ever met the Dolly Parton. I thought you were a
female Roger Miller because you were a wires cracking every minute.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I used to, you know, really go on. I've always
felt good. I've always been a happy person by nature,
and I used to just really go on and kid everybody,
make something out of everything. But then I got to thinking,
you know, the people's gonna think I was smart, elec.
So I tried to not be so smart edick, not
really smart, ag, but I mean I just always was
going on with something silly, So I've tried to be
(01:11):
more serious. Now. When you said that about me being funny,
I guess people think, well, what she does listening to
this show? Or what do they think she done?

a real nice person. Did he offer you a part
in the picture?

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Somebody mentioned something about it. It was a movie they
made here in town. But if I thought I could
have done a good job of it, I would have.
But he deserved better than I could do. And uh no,
I'm serious. I mean if I thought I could have
done a good job, I would have, but I couldn't
do it.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, but I like to paint my dreams and my
songs and sing them that way. I can't. I couldn't
imagine me trying to be serious enough to act. And
even if I was as serious, you know, trying to
be sexy or something, I love seeing out life rightaint,
I just couldn't do it. I know I couldn't do it.
