Dolly Parton's teaming up with a who's who of pop icons from the '80s for a new song from the upcoming film 80 for Brady. The new movie features her 9 to 5 co-stars — and longtime friends — Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, along with her Steel Magnolias compadre Sally Field and the iconic Rita Moreno.
The two have been close since appearing in the 1980 movie together. "We don't talk every day but we have a very special feeling in our hearts," Parton told TODAY.
Fonda also says she took a wig that is a head scarf with bangs attached to it. It's played for a laugh in the film, but for Fonda, who recently announced she is in remission from Hodgkin's lymphoma, it's also a very real representation of what she's just gone through with her health.
For the new flick 80 for Brady — starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field — she has penned the original single "Gonna Be You." Better yet, she's recruited a diva supergroup to sing it.

Earlier in 1969, Florence Henderson was filming the movie "Song of Norway" where she portrayed Norwegian soprano Nina Greig, a role which required Henderson to sport a very short hairdo. Sherwood Schwartz felt Carol should have longer hair, and thus Henderson donned a bouffant wig until her hair grew back.
80 for Brady was released theatrically in the United States on February 3, 2023, by Paramount Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics, and grossed $40 million worldwide against a $28 million budget.
