Dolly Parton expressed her sadness over the passing of actor Treat Williams, whom she worked with on the holiday movie Christmas on the Square. Williams died at the age of 71 after being involved in a motorcycle crash. Parton remembered Williams as one of the kindest, sweetest, and most talented people she had ever met. In the movie, Parton wrote all the songs and played the role of an angel while Williams played the role of Regina's former love interest, Carl Pellam. Williams was known for his roles in Everwood and Hair. His longtime agent confirmed his death and called him "the nicest guy" who was also so talented.
