From her unforgettable role in Steel Magnolias, filmed just down the road from Shreveport in Natchitoches, to the more than 3.5 million books that have been provided to children in Louisiana, including in Shreveport-Bossier, through her Imagination Library program, Dolly Parton has certainly reached generations of people.
Did you know that in 1988, Dolly Parton flew in and out of Shreveport Regional Airport while filming Steel Magnolias? During one of her visits, she waited in the airport’s conference room for her flight while visiting with the Director of Airports at the time.
Tonight through Sunday night, the lights in our iconic terminal building will glow in bright pink in memory of Dolly Parton and in appreciation for all the lives that she touched.
