Dolly Parton’s coffee line drops new commercial filmed before her death

Dolly Parton is posthumously adding coffee connoisseur to her list of achievements.

The beloved icon's new coffee line Cup of Ambition, "a dream of hers more than 40 years in the making," was developed in partnership with family-owned Community Coffee and launched on National Coffee Day, Sept. 29, with a commercial starring the late singer. Cup of Ambition takes its name from Parton's iconic “9 to 5” song.

“I thought the Cup of Ambition would be a fantastic name for a coffee brand, and I've been working towards this for over 40 years,” Parton had said about the line back in June when she was visiting Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop, according to a Sept. 29 press release. “This is just one of those dreams that's taken a little longer than I thought it might, but we've got it and it's working.”

The commercial, first of three filmed for the brand in July, features Parton getting ready for the day and strumming her bejeweled pink guitar with a matching mug of joe, as "9 to 5" plays in the background.

Parton died in Nashville on Aug. 25 after "bravely facing a brief battle with cancer," her representatives said. She was 80.
