Back in December 2015, Coat of Many Colors brought Dolly Parton\u2019s childhood to life on NBC, winning hearts with its sweet, nostalgic storytelling. Inspired by her beloved song, the film became a holiday favorite\u2014thanks in large part to the young actress who played little Dolly: Alyvia Alyn Lind.<\/p>\n
A year later, the story continued with the sequel Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love. While country star Jennifer Nettles stepped in as Dolly\u2019s mother and Ricky Schroder played her father, it was Alyvia who truly stole the show.<\/p>\n
