Farrah Mackenzie returns to the small screen as Stella Parton in "Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love."

When filming the first of NBC's Dolly Parton bio-pics, then 10-year-old Farrah Mackenzie was placed in a unique position in that the real Stella Parton, who she was playing in the film, was there on-set as a fellow actress and character consultant. Farrah took every advantage of having Stella around and even became a leftie for her role. She received rave reviews from her real-life counterpart after playing Dolly's younger sister in "Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors." Stella said,

"I think that Farrah Mackenzie plays the best Little Stella that anybody could play. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to play me."

Farrah will return as Stella Parton in the all-new NBC film, “Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love.” Since the airing of the first film, Farrah has continued to grow as an actress and was overjoyed to return to her role as Stella Parton. This cross-fit enthusiast has generously agreed to share her thoughts on the new movie, the influential people in her life, her Christmas wish and more.
