Trivia:
Born into relative poverty, Parton was singing and playing gospel music on Knoxville radio by the age of eleven. Upon graduating from high school, she moved to Nashville to launch a career as a country singer. In 1967, she joined Porter Wagoner's Wagon Masters Band. For the next seven years she performed with this group at the Grand Old Opry, in tours and on records. Parton became a solo artist in 1974, very quickly gaining immense popularity as a singer-songwriter. Nationally known as a media celebrity by the late '70s, she appeared frequently on TV specials and talk shows. She debuted onscreen in the film 9 to 5 (1980), for which she received an Oscar nomination as the composer of the title song. Starring or costarring in a handful of other films through the '90s, Parton often composed music for her films. She heads Dolly Parton Enterprises, a $100 million media empire. In 1986 her company opened Dollywood, a theme park celebrating her Smokey Mountain upbringing in Tennessee.

Trivia:
A successful character actress most adept at playing matronly types, Beth Grant took her onscreen bow in the late '80s and began tackling innumerable roles in Hollywood features, usually bit parts as housewives, female doctors, or down-home small-town women. Grant received her first feature assignment as a harried mother at a farmhouse in Barry Levinson's Rain Man (1988). She subsequently divided her time between film and television roles, guest-acting on dozens of series and occasionally taking on more extensive small-screen roles, such as on Coach and Jericho. Grant's many big-screen credits include the films Don't Tell Her It's Me (1990), Speed (1994), Donnie Darko (2001), and Little Miss Sunshine (2006). She was particularly memorable in the latter, as one of the snotty and obnoxious pageant judges. Darko represented Grant's first experience working with helmer Richard Kelly; she re-teamed with Kelly for his follow-up, the dystopian black comedy Southland Tales (2005).
