The two cast members took a break from their busy schedule for their upcoming NBC special Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas (and interrupting Miley’s fun day at the Wild Eagle in Dollywood) to chat and reminisce about the past — including the time Miley invited Dolly to guest star Hannah Montana. As Aunt Dolly, the icon took a full part in Miley Stewart’s constant, devastating decision-making. But the moments were also important for Dolly herself.
“One thing that touches me the most is when you had me on the Hannah Montana show years ago,” Dolly says, repeating how proud she is of her goddaughter. “You really helped my career, you introduced me to a whole new set of fans. The young! Although, of course, they’re not all as young as they used to be.” Miley replies, “Well, you wrote the manual on staying young.” And Dolly fires back, “Well, I have the medical bills to prove it.”
