In the days since her Aug. 25 death<\/a>, the tributes to country music icon Dolly Parton have piled up: from music megastars, tech-industry titans \u2014 even the Buckingham Palace guards. <\/a><\/p>\n Add AMC Theatres to the list. <\/p>\n The company announced this week that it will be holding a retrospective of the artist\u2019s film work, with screenings of a pair of Parton-starring films \u2014 Steel Magnolias and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas \u2014 in her honor. Screenings begin Friday and run through Sept. 2, the company said. <\/p>\n In all, roughly 200 AMC locations nationwide will hold screenings. <\/p>\n Participating Philadelphia-area theaters include AMC Cherry Hill<\/a> 24 and AMC Voorhees 16 in New Jersey, and AMC Neshaminy 24 in Bensalem. Tickets will be offered at discounted prices and are available through the AMC website<\/a>. <\/p>\n The two films are among several that Parton appeared in between 1980 and 2015, a list that also includes 9 to 5, in which she starred alongside Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, and received three Golden Globe nominations.<\/p>\n The 1982 musical comedy The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas saw Parton play a brothel madam alongside Burt Reynolds, earning her another Golden Globe nomination in the process. <\/p>\n In 1989\u2019s Steel Magnolias, Parton stars alongside Julia Roberts, Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, and Daryl Hannah. <\/p>\n A longtime star of the music, film, and television industries, Parton\u2019s death has brought a wave of homages this week from everyone from Taylor Swift<\/a> to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos<\/a>. Her death followed a brief battle with cancer<\/a>, a family spokesperson has said.<\/p>\n Parton was a 10-time Grammy Award winner, and her 55 Grammy nominations make her the third-most nominated woman in the awards\u2019 history, according to the Associated Press, trailing only Beyonc\u00e9 and Swift. <\/p>\n In addition to AMC, Regal Cinemas<\/a> will be screening both films, as well \u2014 though screenings will be limited to Parton\u2019s home state of Tennessee. <\/p>\n
