Reba McEntire Reveals Dolly Parton’s Touching On-Set Gesture: ‘She Didn’t Have To Do That’

Reba McEntire was determined to make Dolly Parton feel welcome when the country legend joined her sitcom for a guest appearance—but it was Parton who ended up making everyone on-set feel special.While speaking at NAR NXT in New Orleans alongside her manager and former real estate agent, Justin McIntosh, McEntire recalled the thoughtful gesture Parton made for every crew member behind the scenes of her hit sitcom “Reba”—a small act of kindness that left a lasting impression.Instead of simply showing up and delivering her lines, Parton made a point of personally greeting the people working behind the scenes, bringing along Valentine’s Day candy and a message for every crew member.For McEntire, the gesture remains a vivid example of the warmth that made her fellow singer so beloved.“I was so nervous with Dolly being on the set. I wanted everyone to be nice. What I didn’t expect was how nice she was going to be on the set," she said.Loading...Reba McEntire wanted everything to be perfect when Dolly Parton arrived for a guest appearance on her sitcom, “Reba.” But the country legend had a surprise of her own—one that had nothing to do with her performance.Kevin Winter/Getty ImagesMcEntir...
