5. The Actresses Who Played Little Dolly And Her Best Friend Became Friends In Real Life
In both of the Coat of Many Colors films, “Little Dolly” has been played by the talented Alyvia Alyn Lind. Her spunk is perfect for her role as Dolly, since she says the two of them are equally “sassy.”
One of the most important characters in the films is Dolly’s best friend, Judy Ogle. In real life, Dolly and Judy have been best friends since they were young. Coat of Many Colors shows how their friendship got its start and continued to grow into something special.
As it turns out, Alyvia and Hannah Nordberg, who played Judy in the films, also became best friends in real life. Alyvia spoke about their friendship during an interview for dollyparton.com, saying they had an “instant connection.”
“We were BFF’s on the very first day,” she said.
That real-life friendship translates well into their portrayals of Dolly and Judy, that’s for sure!
