Dolly Parton secretly produced Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and fans have only just found out:

While Parton was not herself credited as a producer on the long-running fantasy series, a company she co-created and owned was responsible for it coming to television.

Sandollar Entertainment, which is listed on the end credits of every episode of the show, was created by Parton and her friend and former business partner Sandy Gallin in 1986. It produced a number of films, including Father of the Bride (1991) and Fly Away Home (1996), as well as several Parton projects – most recently her Netflix anthology series Dolly Parton's Heartstrings.

It also produced the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie, released in 1992 to dismal reviews. It was Gail Berman, then an executive at Sandollar, who still believed there was potential in the property, and proposed launching the concept as a TV series.

    Yes, while Joss cheated on his wife many times, please note that that article is an opinion piece, written by a jilted and angry ex.

    Writing empowered, strong female characters, and even potentially 'feminist' films and television shows is not 'undone' by a writer sticking his dick in willing females (note, no one has suggested the recipients of his attention weren't willing.)
