The life of Randy Travis is being turned into a feature film. Forever and Ever, Amen, is currently in production. Clay Walker will star as Randy. He is actually the reason the movie is getting made. Clay, who is a longtime friend of Randy and his wife, Mary, took the idea to filmmaker Andrew Hyatt, who used Randy's memoir and other sources to write the screenplay. Andrew will also direct the film. Moviegoers "are going to find out the deep struggles that he had," says Clay. "I look at Randy's life, and I see redemption. This is a man who's overcome all those challenges. He's survived it all. Everybody knows that golden voice of his, but I think this movie is going to endear him to people in a whole new way." Recordings of Randy will be used for the performance scenes. Filming is expected to begin this summer. They are hoping to release the movie in spring 2026.

Dolly Parton's husband Carl Dean died on Monday in Nashville at the age of 82. "Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can't do justice to the love we shared over 60 years," Dolly says in a statement. "Thank you for your prayers and sympathy." The couple met on Dolly's very first day in Nashville in 1964. Carl approached her at a laundromat and struck up a conversation. They were married in May of 1966. Fans rarely saw him in public, but despite his refusal to be part of the spotlight, Carl was her biggest cheerleader in private. He will be "laid to rest in a private ceremony with immediate family attending." The family has asked for privacy.
