When she was first approached about starring in this film, Dolly turned the offer down. "After all, my granddaddy, the Reverend Jake Owens, was a hellfire preacher, and I'm a very religious person. I could just imagine what my family, my religion, and my fans would say," Dolly told People magazine. But after going to New York to see the Broadway music show herself, she changed her mind. "The character's not trash just caught in this situation. She's probably like I would have been had things been different. "I said I'd do the picture if the script was rewritten to establish more of a relationship between Miss Mona and Sheriff Earl," Dolly said to a Hollywood reporter. "It would give me a chance to write songs and sing in a picture. I didn't sing a bit in Nine to Five. The character of Miss Mona is more like me. I get a chance to dress up the way I like, with the crazy wigs and the wild clothes, and everything juiced up.
