More Hello Sunshine:

Hello Sunshine is dedicated to female authorship across all storytelling platforms, including film, television, books, social videos, and audio. The media company is founded by Academy and Emmy Award-winning actress, producer, and entrepreneur Reese Witherspoon.

We’re excited to connect women (and men) to narratives told from a distinctively female perspective. We want the growing Hello Sunshine community of creators and audience members to feel seen and heard. Whether our audience identifies with a character from our book pick or with the heroine (or villain) from our TV shows, or strikes up a conversation sparked by our videos, Hello Sunshine’s mission is to show women as the flawed and often complicated heroes of their own stories. Hello Sunshine – the story starts with you.

Dolly has always been a good soul. Don't ever believe anything otherwise, because there are people out there who tell lies. Actions speak louder than words and Dolly has always shown her true colors. Genuine, down-to-earth and humble. She is and always will be my all time favorite.

Nothing's fake about Dolly's personality. She's a gem. And Reese still looks so young!

I love Dolly Parton! Wish there were more like her! So real and so sweet!

[rjhenderson]

Thank you Dolly. I swear, not all of us men are bad. Some of us try our best to work hard, love with all our hearts, and treat our women counterparts with upmost, yet equal, respect

I am so thrilled to see these Shine On I just watched Dolly and Pink. Amazing women. This work that you are doing is so important to me and all of our daughters! We are capable of amazing love from this female attorney/single mom❤

Proud to be a fellow Nashville/Knoxville girl. Love these two <3 (Side note: Dolly is my great-aunt's sister-in-law)

People like Dolly are always going to be relevant, because they understand the basics of human dignity, regardless of class, colour, sex etc, whilst not taking themselves or life too seriously. It's way more persuasive an attitude than being a raging, angry feminist or ripping up snaps of the Pope!

The 0:30 mark. That there is the extended property- (her living quarters when she is in Nashville working) of pretty much an entire corner block of Dolly's production company/ management/ recording studio. To the left that you do not see is her entire gated compound. It is pretty impressive. If you can see the entire compound, you get to see another part of Doilly other than the performer. She is a business also. And her property is to say it again, very impressive. ::

I'm currently in Pidgeon Forge and I'm thinking, "My God, she is beautiful."
I love this place.

These conversations are reminding me of my brother in law who encouraged my daughter to join the Naval Academy. She opted for science instead. I worked for local and the Federal Government. Unlike the private sector, we had positions with salaries that were publicly disclosed. Anyone of any gender or race could apply. If they had the qualifications they were hired. My ex had two brothers who treated her like the guys. She was a tomboy. That was what attracted me to her. Raise your children to become whatever they want to be.

DEEP! DEEP! Sounds like my love for D.P! DEEP! She could sing, ' The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round', and it would go SOLD GOLD & top the charts! There will never be another D.P! To know her is to LOVE her!

9 to 5 film was exactly how corporate life was like for women in the 70s, 80s, 90s. My boss did exactly to me as in 9 to 5 movie. Took credit for a design I did. All the women were mad at my boss. Which led me to look for better employment.

My Mom went back to work in '75 and the interviewer asked her if it was okay with her husband. Women couldn't get credit cards, loans or bank accounts in the 70s without a husband or co signer.
