2. Only A Small Portion Of The Movie Was Filmed In Tennessee
Although Dolly grew up in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, most of the film was shot elsewhere. As revealed in a behind-the-scenes article published by WBIR NBC 10 News, most of the film was shot in Covington and Conyers, Georgia.
There was a small portion of the movie that was filmed in Tennessee. The introductory and closing scenes were both shot at Dolly’s Dollywood theme park, which is located in Pigeon Forge.
Before we knew any better, we never would have guessed that the movie was shot in Georgia instead of Tennessee!
