Nine To Five and My Last Profile Picture

Some of you may wonder about my former profile picture or even recognize it. If not, I can tell you who it depicts and the significance of that picture in my post.

The picture is of Jane Fonda in the movie "9 to 5," in which Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, and Dabney Coleman star. Jane Fonda plays Judy Bernly, a recently divorced and very naive woman who gets her first job workin for Franklin Hart (Dabney Coleman) aka. the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot. Lily Tomlin plays Violet, a widow who works for Hart and has seniority over most people that work at the company while Dolly Parton embodies Doralee, Hart's secretary who faces Hart's sexual harassment on a daily basis. Put the three characters together and one wild night with a marijuana cigarette and you get a stomach ache from laughing so much! Dolly Parton's hit song "Nine to Five" originates from her work on this movie set. The video below plays the song and shows scenes from the movie:

This comedy holds a special place in my heart as it was and remains one of my favorite movies. My grandmother first showed me this movie and we watched it together often, making it something that I cherish greatly. The priceless characters and hilarious situations they find themselves in always makes me laugh, no matter what kind of day I'm having. If you're looking for a good laugh, this movie is definately for you.
