Dolly Parton cameo: who does she play in Grace and Frankie?
Dolly Parton’s cameo on Grace and Frankie marks the long-awaited 9 to 5 reunion of Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly
www.womanandhome.comHere’s what I can share up to now:
-
Dolly Parton did voice a character related to Ms. Frizzle in The Magic School Bus. She voiced Katrina Eloise “Murph” Murphy, who is Ms. Frizzle’s cousin and runs Murph’s recycling plant. This appears in a 1996 holiday episode, where Murph teaches the class about recycling.[1][7]
-
There’s no credible reporting that Dolly Parton has recently reprised or reinterpreted Ms. Frizzle or appeared as Frizzle’s voice in new Magic School Bus content or revivals as of the latest available information in 2025–2026. If you’re asking about a new film, reboot, or guest appearance, I don’t have verified records of Parton voicing Ms. Frizzle again or a recent confirmation of such a role.[3][4]

If you’re looking for the latest developments beyond 2025, I can look them up and verify with current sources. Do you want me to fetch the latest news on this topic?

- Murph is a separate character introduced in the Ms. Frizzle universe; Parton’s involvement is limited to that 1996 holiday special, not the core Ms. Frizzle portrayal by Lily Tomlin.[7][1]
If you’d like, I can search for any new announcements or confirm whether there have been recent re-releases, cameos, or voice casts involving Dolly Parton and Ms. Frizzle.
