The Secrets Behind the Cult Classic Film 9 to 5

The 1980 comedy 9 to 5 may have been filled with laughs, but it also tackled serious issues like sexual harassment and gender equality in the workplace. The film starred Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton as three women who seek revenge on their chauvinistic boss, played by Dabney Coleman. Here are some behind-the-scenes secrets of this iconic movie.

The concept for 9 to 5 was inspired by Karen Nussbaum, the founder of 9to5, an organization advocating for working women. Fonda, who played the role of Judy Bernly, cast herself against type and brought on board Tomlin and Parton to complete the trio. Originally, the roles were considered for Carol Burnett and Ann-Margret, but the final casting was a stroke of genius.

Tomlin almost turned down the role of Violet due to exhaustion from previous work commitments, but her partner, Jane Wagner, convinced her to stay on board. The original script for the film was darker, with the women attempting to kill their boss. However, director Colin Higgins transformed it into a broader comedy with fantasy sequences.

Despite being a newcomer to acting, Parton dedicated herself to the role by memorizing the entire script. She even wrote and performed the Oscar-nominated theme song for the film. Tomlin and Wagner knew the movie would be a hit when they heard Parton sing the iconic tune on set.

The success of 9 to 5 was undeniable, grossing over $103 million at the box office. The film is not only remembered for its feminist message but also for its comedic charm. The chemistry between the three leading ladies translated into a genuine friendship off-screen.

Despite calls for a sequel, Parton jokingly dismissed the idea due to their age, suggesting a title like ’95!‘ instead. The legacy of 9 to 5 lives on as a timeless classic that continues to entertain audiences with its humor and empowering message.
