Dolly Parton fans are getting one more chance to see the country legend on screen.
A new commercial for Dolly’s Cup of Ambition coffee has been released — but Dolly actually filmed it back in July, just weeks before her death on August 25 at age 80.
In the commercial, Dolly starts her morning with a cup of coffee and her signature pink, rhinestone-covered style. She reportedly filmed three commercials for the brand before she died.
The coffee itself was a project Dolly had wanted to do for more than 40 years. The name, of course, comes from her classic “9 to 5” lyric about pouring herself a “cup of ambition.” The line launched nationwide on September 29 in partnership with Community Coffee.
Sales from the coffee will also support Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, her longtime literacy program for children.
It makes the new commercial feel a little different now — one of Dolly Parton’s final appearances, released after fans had already said goodbye.
