“GCB” exclusive first look and scoop from none other than Annie Potts about her character.

Any time I looked at the script, I thought, ‘Hmm … now how shall I do … I’ll do it the way Dixie would do it!’ She just had that snap. There was a great enthusiasm about her, and I feel like Gigi’s like that. [In her Gigi accent] ‘Yes! That’s what we’re going to do! We’re going to do it big, and we’re going to have a wonderful time!’ Dixie was like that. She was so quick to laugh, and she was just an extraordinary person. I just feel like I’m doing her all the time, and it is my great privilege. She was something. If she were still on this planet with us, she would’ve had this role.

Kristin Chenoweth — Exclusive Sessions

With credits including Tony-winning stage work, roles in acclaimed television shows and films, a memoir and a handful albums, it would seem that things come pretty easy to Kristin Chenoweth. Still, a resume like that doesn’t guarantee acceptance or success in the country music world, as the multi-talented star found out while recording ‘Some Lessons Learned,’ her first album in the genre.

As part of her mission to prove herself to any doubters, Chenoweth stopped by AOL Music’s studio in New York for a Sessions taping that featured several songs from the record. After her incredible performance, AOL Music sat down with the gracious and hilarious pint-sized singer to discuss her first foray into country, her family, her legacy and whether or not she’ll ever play Dolly Parton in a biopic.
