This is how I find out?? There's been a lot of really unfortunate celebrity deaths recently... This is a rough one, though at least so far it seems she passed peacefully. She really did so much to help so many people, and has such a great legacy in and outside of her music.

RIP.

Asides from her musical career, Dolly Parton was of course an uncredited producer on Buffy. Some details here including an interview with Sarah on the subject.

Despite her age, this is another I did not see coming.

It feels like there's been a lot of deaths this year, but this was an unexpected one.

I will always love you my beautiful lady.

I'm sitting here weeping. I'm glad she will forever be associated with my favourite show of all time. She's my favourite country star and one of my favourite 'famous' people of all time. She stood for something more than just making money. She was kind, talented, and made it her business to help others both in and out of the arts.

She worked more than 9 to 5. She was such a generous heart. I will miss her a lot.

Rest in Peace. Your memory will be a blessing.

Aw, man! That is such a bummer! She seemed like such a genuinely lovely person.

I agree, I know she was getting up there in age, yet I still didn’t see this coming 🙁

What a legend.
Never heard anything but positive things about her. She seemed genuinely nice (and funny).

RIP

She was a genuinely goodhearted person who will leave a legacy of much more than her music. A sad loss.

RIP Dolly, you were unique in your talent and support for the people you knew. Being a Buffy fan and producer means those of us on this forum feel it a little more. No one has ever had anything bad to say about her.
