FILM DESCRIPTION:
Miss Mona (Dolly Parton) runs the Chicken Ranch, a brothel with a long history in a small Texas town. The locals have a good relationship with the institution, and Mona is respected in the community. The sheriff, Ed Earl Dodd (Burt Reynolds), also looks out for the Chicken Ranch due to his past with Miss Mona. However, when pious reporter Melvin Thorpe (Dom DeLuise) exposes the brothel, outside interests want it shut down, putting the governor (Charles Durning) in a tough spot.

His figure is plump, his feet almost comically small. He does not look like he should be able to dance like that. What a showstopper !

[@auntiem873]

I believe he started out as a song and dance man on stage. Then he got into TV and Movies. That’s when he started to gain weight cause he looked better playing bad guy characters. With his weight also came an authoritarian look.

I learned so much in so little time. I have a picture of the two of us that I wanted him to sign. He tooo it and said, "Of course." After taking a look at it he asked, "Which one is me?" An absolute "card" at all times. He is missed.

No clue about his singing, but he was a dance instructor way back. He was a hell of a man all around. Only surviving member of his unit in WW2 invasion at Omaha beach. He was wounded in the legs, hand, and head. 3 Purple Hearts AND a Silver Star. Took him almost half a year to recover. He recovered just in time for the Battle of the Bulge.....
