- A resurfaced 1992 interview has revealed that the late Queen of Country, Dolly Parton, turned down a $7 million offer to play the lead villain in the 1984 DC film Supergirl.
- Parton explained that she turned down the role of evil witch Selena—which ultimately went to Faye Dunaway—because playing an evil character went against her true nature.
- The legendary singer and actor, who died last month at the age of 80, enjoyed an acclaimed film career alongside her music, starring in classics such as 9 to 5 and Steel Magnolias.

- The character was recently rebooted in a new film starring House of the Dragon actor Milly Alcock, though the latest iteration also drew mixed reviews from critics.
