Dolly Parton Secretly Saved and Produced ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’

Fans are just finding out that Dolly Parton helped save and produce “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

The country music icon and her former manager Sandy Gallin founded Sandollar Productions in 1986. From there, they produced the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” movie in 1992. Although the film didn’t get great reviews, executives with Sandollar had confidence in the story line.

Sandollar executive Gail Berman was emphatic in her belief that the story would work as a TV show. She thought the idea of a high school girl who fights vampires and demons was an idea that audiences would embrace. She was the driving force behind the show’s television production which went on to star Sarah Michelle Gellar .

However, Parton’s name never appeared on the show. Rather, Sandollar is listed in the end credits of every episode of “Buffy,” which ran from 1997 to 2003. Parton, the all-around American treasure, is considered an uncredited producer on the show.

Sandollar also produced a number of other films. Some of those include “Father of the Bride” (1991) and “Fly Away Home” (1996), as well as multiple Dolly Parton projects. They most recently produced Parton’s Netflix series “Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings.”
