Dolly Parton is mourning her co-star and longtime friend Dabney Coleman. 'Dabney was a great actor and became a dear friend,' the country music star wrote on Instagram. 'He taught me so much when I was doing my first movie, 9 to 5.' The pair met while filming the 1980s classic, which also starred Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.

Coleman’s death was confirmed by his daughter, who wrote that he died “peacefully and exquisitely” at home last week. He was 92. 'My father crafted his time here on Earth with a curious mind, a generous heart and a soul on fire with passion, desire and humor that tickled the funny bone of humanity,” she said in a statement obtained by The Times. “As he lived, he moved through this final act of his life with elegance, excellence and mastery.
