Jennifer Aniston has paid tribute to Dolly Parton by encouraging her fans to "chase your dreams and go catch some rainbows".
The Friends actress appeared at The 92nd Street Y in New York City this week to promote her boyfriend Jim Curtis' new book, The Book of Possibility, and she told fans how she is "post-Parton" following the iconic star's death last month, aged 80.
When asked by an audience member about the "best advice" she could give, Jennifer was inspired by a "dear friend of all of ours, Miss Dolly Parton".
She added: "It’s real. We’re all in post-Parton, aren’t we?
"One of her many, many, many, many incredible quotes, and they’re endless, endless, endless, she would say, 'I chased a few rainbows and I caught some.'
"I would say, go chase your dreams and go catch some rainbows.
"You’ll catch a few. [Dolly] did that, for sure."
Jennifer worked alongside Dolly for 2018 movie Dumplin', which also featured Danielle Macdonald, Dove Cameron, Kathy Najimy, and Odeya Rush.
The film tells the story of plus-size teenager named Willowdean - played by Danielle - who is obsessed with the iconic country music superstar.
Jennifer's company got in touch with Dolly to ask if they could use some of her music for the motion picture, which is based on Julie Murphy's 2015 novel of the same name.
In 2018, Dolly told Entertainment Weekly: "The whole story came from a book that was written a few years back and it was about a little girl that loved my music and was inspired, she and her aunt, by listening to my records, and it kind of helped build her confidence.
"I had read the book because people told me there was a book about me, and I loved it.
"I didn’t think any more about [the book] until Jennifer Aniston’s company called me a couple years ago sayin’ that she was doing it as a movie and was gonna be starrin’ in it and asking if they could license some of my original music for the movie and I said, 'Of course.' "
