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.

So what was her actual involvement in Buffy? From that story, a company she co-founded had someone who was an executive producer in Buffy, but there's no evidence in there that she even knew Buffy existed. Perhaps the reason it's "Parton’s uncredited involvement in Buffy" is because she wasn't involved?
