Dolly Parton Saved Child's Life On Set Of Netflix's 'Christmas On The Square'

Dolly Parton became a real-life angel for one of the child actresses working with her on the set of her latest film, Netflix's “Christmas on the Square.”

Talia Hill, the youngest of three siblings cast in the holiday movie, recently revealed that the 74-year-old musician saved her life from what could have been a fatal accident. Speaking in an interview with Inside Edition, the 9-year-old child actress and dancer recalled that she went to take a cup of hot chocolate before producers called everyone to return their positions.

However, Hill did not realize that there was a vehicle approaching from behind. As she was heading back, she felt someone grabbing her arm and pulling her away from the car that could have hit her.

Hill revealed that it was Parton who saved her from what could have been a fatal accident.

“I was at the hot chocolate station and they said to go back to your beginning position. So, there is a vehicle moving and as I was walking, someone grabbed me and pulled me back. When I looked up, it was Dolly Parton and I was surprised,” Hill said during the interview.

The child actress also shared that Parton “hugged her” and struck a conversation after the entire episode.

“And she says, ‘I am an angel you know.’ And I was in shock. She hugged me and shook me and said, 'I saved your life!’” Talia said, referring to the angel character Parton plays in their movie.

Apart from Talia, her two elder siblings, Tristan and Tyson, were also actors in the movie.

“Christmas on the Square” tells the story of a woman who plans to sell a small town without regard for the people who live there receiving a visit from an angel.

The movie has opened to positive reviews and currently has a score of 63% on review site Rotten Tomatoes. Critics praised Parton for her acting and singing skills.

Directed by “Grey’s Anatomy” star Debbie Allen, “Christmas on the Square” is currently streaming on Netflix.
