Dolly Parton<\/strong><\/a> is ready to work 9 to 5<\/em> one more time.<\/p>\n

The country music legend<\/a> told E! News<\/em><\/a> in an interview on Monday, June 3, that she\u2019d love to make an appearance in a remake of her classic 1980 comedy being produced by Jennifer Aniston<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am,\u201d said Parton, 78, when asked if she was excited for Aniston\u2019s take on the movie. \u201cYears ago, when we did the movie Dumplin\u2019<\/em>, there was some mention she might want to do 9 to 5<\/em>, and I said, \u2018Oh, that would be great.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hoping they use my song, and I\u2019m hoping they might find a way to have Lily, Jane and me come back in,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

9 to 5<\/em> starred Parton, Lily Tomlin<\/strong> and Jane Fonda<\/strong> as three working women who plot to overthrow their misogynistic boss. Parton also contributed the hit song \u201c9 to 5\u201d to the movie\u2019s soundtrack. The track topped the Billboard Hot 100 and received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song in 1981.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful thing to be able to be part of something that\u2019s been that powerful through the years,\u201d Parton told E! \u201cIt\u2019s really amazing to be part of something that really can change the course of life for anybody. I really think this brought a lot of attention to [gender] equality.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the remake, Parton is on board with her goddaughter, Miley Cyrus<\/strong>, playing Doralee Rhodes, the sexy secretary Parton played in the original movie.<\/p>\n

\u201cWouldn\u2019t she be great? Well, she knows me. She knows the memories that I have [from the movie],\u201d she told E! News.<\/p>\n

According to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, Aniston is producing a \u201creimagining\u201d of 9 to 5<\/em> through her Echo Films production company, with Jennifer\u2019s Body<\/em> and Juno<\/em> writer Diablo Cody<\/strong> set to write the script.<\/p>\n

Parton\u2019s costars, Tomlin and Fonda, recently showed their support<\/a> for the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood luck to them. It\u2019s fun. I wish them a lot of luck. They\u2019re very talented,\u201d Fonda, 86, told Entertainment Tonight<\/em> on May 29.<\/p>\n
