Dolly Parton shared that her acting was at its best when working alongside Burt Reynolds, particularly in a scene where she gave him "sexy underwear" in the film The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Despite finding the shoot miserable, Parton enjoyed working with Reynolds, describing their connection as "sweeter than a love affair."
She felt right at home in a scene where she gave him underwear, joking about their on-screen chemistry.
Parton denied any romantic involvement with Reynolds, having been married to her husband Carl Dean for years. She praised Dean's personality and physical appearance, saying:
“Built the way I am, I’ve always been fascinated with tall, skinny men; no big muscles, no hair on their chest,”
and described him as having "the smoothest skin and not an ounce of fat on his body."
