Direct answer: Yes. Dolly Parton voiced Murph (Katrina Eloise Murphy), Ms. Frizzle’s cousin and the operator of Murph’s recycling plant, in The Magic School Bus holiday episode and related specials.
Additional context:
- The Magic School Bus features Ms. Frizzle voiced by Lily Tomlin, with Dolly Parton portraying Murph in the holiday-themed installment that aired in 1996. This aligns with Parton’s documented role in the original series’ holiday content. [cite ][cite ]
- Parton’s character Murph appears as a recycling plant operator who teaches about recycling, reinforcing the episode’s environmental message. [cite ]
- In later references and compilations, this credit remains part of the show’s cast listings for the holiday special and related materials. [cite ]
