Dolly Parton is a country music legend. She has won over two dozen Grammys. She has been nominated for two Academy Awards. She’s the recipient of the “Living Legend Award” from the U.S. Library of Congress and seven Academy of Country Music Awards. Not bad for the daughter of a Tennessee tobacco farmer. Her “rags to rhinestones” story is so fascinating, there is a history course named after her at the University of Tennessee. Dolly is a singer, songwriter, actress, philanthropist, and businesswoman. It’s hard to believe that she was voted “Least Likely to Succeed” in high school.
Dolly Parton’s songs have reached the number one spot on Billboard’s music charts twenty-five times. She owns one of the biggest and most successful theme parks in America. Dollywood gets over three million guests every year. She started her own non-profit organization with the goal of sparking young children’s love for books and reading to honor her father, who never learned to read or write. Her podcast, “Dolly Parton’s America” has been called the “Best Podcast of 2019” by Forbes magazine. With all of these milestones, it’s hard to believe that Dolly struggled with depression. She has seen her share of heartache and suffering. Especially after having an affair with Burt Reynolds. Thankfully, her dog, Popeye, was there to save her life. Through it all, she never lost her sense of humor. She said she knows some of the best Dolly Parton jokes because she made them up herself. Here is the true story of Dolly Parton.

"Voted least likely to succeed" why tf is that even a category
Darius Floyd 🤣🤣🤣 right
Darius Floyd IKR?! 🤦🏾♀️
exactly 😂😂😂
Lol
Because humans always need to have someone to cut down and just love trying to kill someone’s dream(s). Tsk tsk.
I never agreed with parents having alot of children and then expecting the older ones to raise the younger ones. The fact that her mother told her her brother was her baby to be responsible for then that baby dying that could have a devastating affect on a child.
Well yeah but these people honestly didn't always know any better. My nana was born in 1929 and had to raise her younger siblings. And when my nana was in her 20s her MOM asked her how babies were actually made. She'd had 10 babies but she had to ask her daughter to explain how it worked. I don't think we can always conceive of the lack of knowledge that people in poverty (especially women in poverty) had back then (especially about anything to do with sex/health/bodies.)
@@ala-lash3710 I understand what youre saying about them not knowing the biological process. Hell many people today dont fully know that but they know sex=babies. Not knowing the process of how they are made has nothing to do with the responsibility of care once they are here. I dont think thats really a matter of not knowing better and more about an attitude of thats how it is thats whats expected to have a large family and have the older ones take care of the younger ones.
Be Free Usually it’s from farm and country culture to have a lot of kids to help with the farm. And as a cause of this, the parents would get the older kids to HELP take care of the younger ones and teach them to work on the farm. This is the same with both of my grandmothers who were raised in a family of twelve.
@@lordvoldemort5725 yes I know the reasoning behind it more hands my paternal grands were also from south and had 12 children
Be Free Then why don’t you agree with it?
This woman is absolutely stunning. I feel like she’s so underestimated.
@@maxwellmark986 ew tf
In this generation yes
Underestimated? She is adored by all. She is highly regarded lol. She is far from underestimated.
😉😁🤷♂️😁🌷😅
She is loved and adored in my native South Africa.
When someone sues you for 3 million and you're still by their side at their death bed... Only Dolly the saint!
As a young boy, I love the American countryside music, because it has more voices with little instruments, just like the Benin people culture music ,Coat of many colours, becos,it personified poverty in human race, it has nothing to do with colour of tribes, nationalities, it cut across races all over the world.
@@kennedyemovon4928 beautifully said
Porter did not deserve Dolly.
Ugh y’all need to change that title. Made it seem like she passed
i know, nothing about her story is what id define as “tragic” she grew up the same way millions did during that time, and i feel its a little discouraging to call her story tragic.

I know had me scared😂😂
IM TROLLN exactly! I was like WHAT
IM TROLLN frrrrr I had to go on google like omg did she die
How rare it is to see a young celeb nowadays who didn't come from money and/or nepotism. Dolly's story is so layered and fascinating
not so rare nowadays it was actually much more rare back then
@@user-fk8tr5ev8q it *is* rare, if you name some young relevant celebs to me i can tell you if they come from money and nepotism as it is a very fascinating subject to me. A lot of them just hide it. Like Odessa A'zion who changed her last name to not be associated with her mother who is very respected in Hollywood. Most have been rich since birth but not had celeb parents like Florence Pugh, Timothee Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Anya Taylor Joy, Ed Sheeran, etc. It is rare to find one that comes from a working class background. The entertainment world is very influence and money driven, those who have it are more likely to get ahead.
@@vildekm A certain billie comes to mind.
@@vildekm truth!!
Check Bts. They struggled alot.
She’s a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, author, humanitarian, actress, business woman, and one of the most honored female country performers of all time like she’s doing just fine. Not tragic at all
Hello Laurel....
Exactly she's wonderful
She is a boy !!
@@elsmeervd4893get a grip. It literally showed you what she looked like as a child you muppet.
It's very cliché, I'm sure, but my favorite song is "Jolene". Hands down.
That little girl that went viral singing this song, made it my favorite 😂🤣
I love that song too, definitely my fav!
Kiki Williams Miley?
Mine too 💕
❤️❤️❤️Jolene
I remember one of her lines, she said, “it needs a lot of money to look this cheap”😂 that dark humor never gets old
"It TAKES a lot of money to look this cheap." Sorry, had to correct you. Love her ❤️
bro i didn’t know she said that 😭 i went to tennessee two years ago and went to dollywood as well. Went to Dicks restaurant and on my paper hat they give to customers they wrote that phrase on mine
Jalyn Blevins it was on an interview😂
Daniel Dalton yess💗
Or in regards to Whitney Houston's cover of I Will Always Love You being one of the biggest selling songs ever, "You can give her the credit; I just want the cash!"
My favorite Dolly story was told by Julia Roberts about their time making the movie Steel Magnolias. Roberts said the entire cast and crew, except Dolly, were complaining about the brutal Louisiana summer heat (especially filming winter scenes in big coats!). Roberts said they were all impressed and asked why she didn't complain. Dolly explained that when she was a little girl she prayed and asked God to make her rich and a star and now that He had given that to her was she wasn't going to complain! She is a positive, faith-filled person. I also heard that she would cook for everyone.
She’s such an amazing person
She is NOT A faith filled woman a true believer would never have her busom revealed blatantly. GOD TOLD FEMALES HOW TO DRESS IF YOU ARE A BELIEVER. Elvis slid off his mother's lap in church and went up front to sing hymns with the adult choir, he never prayed to God for material things it is Graceland that still has millions of visitors from all over this world.
@@marilynwillett804 Did God tell him to take drugs, date a middle-schooler and cheat on his wife? The reality is you don't know WHAT Elvis prayed for or either's relationship with God. And Graceland is only a tourist attraction because Elvis's estate was a crap show and the house was hemorrhaging money in upkeep and taxes and the wife he cheated on and gave drugs to saved it preserve Lisa Marie's trust by making it an attraction for profit.
Tragic?
Tragic??
Tragic???
Dolly is most likely one of the greatest success stories in the world !
The love she received and then continued to give everyone who comes in contact with her is overwhelming!
Major song hits, half a billion dollars, reading book for children distributed FREELY, Dollywood... I could keep LISTING till the cows come home.
She is simply one truly remarkable but humble human being who shared her God given gifts with the World ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A humble person is as scripture said; one who doesn't let their good deeds known. if you do, you already have your reward.
@@marilynwillett804 Still, I don't think Dolly Parton is helping out with billions for attention. it's hard to do such things anonymously ... and we don't know everything ... Dolly Parton can help charity privately ... and we know about public affairs (it would be difficult to do dollywood and give away books for free for one and a half billion anonymously)
There's no way that Dolly Parton could do everything she does anonymously. I think if she could do everything anonymously she would. She's strong, confident, smart and honest. My favorite Dolly song is Tennessee Mountain Home. I grew up not too far away from her hometown and I spent a lot of time there in Sevierville, Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It's truly beautiful and beyond beautiful.
“I look totally artificial, but I like to think that I’m real.” Lol 😂
8.7k?!?!?? Tysm
Ikr
Faker then lemon cheesecake and heard toke all beefcake
It’s more that she’s a very genuine and unartificial personality
Running Blank It’s call a JOKE
Em’s World I read this soon as it said i5 in the video lol
This title should have been from rags to riches
I don’t think Dolly would of liked that.
Running Blank *would have
no way if you know Dolly Rags to Rhinestones is perfect
Running Blank I don’t think tragic life story is any better
Doly has the most charming personality that only people who are truly happy and content with living on this planet have. And ofcourse she is one of the most beautiful woman on this planet.
so true
I tear up everytime anyone talks about Dolly passing away. I support her so much and I wish to god that I could meet her. If u like dolly parton
👇
She’s also godmother to Miley Cyrus 🥰
The Ark Guinea Rescue that’s literally the least interesting thing about her.
Who cares :/
Dewi Lew 💀
I wouldnt consider that accomplishment. 🤦
People are saying “I don’t think that’s such a good thing” but regardless of if you like her or not she’s still really really successful 😂 You can’t deny that. And it’s not because she’d show off her body either.
This woman has the best saying. "We have running water. When we ran and get it."😂
😂😂😂😂❤
I swear she’s a saint! She’s one of my biggest roles models; absolutely adore her!🥰
Her song so passionate that I felt like crying.
Nice meeting you I'm Richard and you?
yes, she is a ROLL model!! American behavior can be so disturbing at times. I swear the country is in decline but she is like a light bulb and brings fun and love to a room.
She has many quotes, but this is one of my favourites: I’m not offended by all of the dumb blonde jokes because I know I’m not dumb … and I know I ain't blonde either.
It sucks when parents have so many kids and make their older ones take care of it. Your 9 year old didn’t have that baby. Dolly is incredible for what she’s done. I can’t imagine what impact the death of a baby would have on a 9 year old held responsible
That was back when having children was your social security and they had farmland to work. That was life back then. I didn't have to take care of my sister but when I was 4 years old and she died it was extremely traumatic for me. They didn't have grief counselling back then and my parents almost lost our house because of the medical bills from her health issues. Dolly is a Strong, Faith-filled Women. God Bless her!
@@annadiehl2672 glad you got through that
my heart sunk when I heard that.
@@annadiehl2672 it’s still very much like that in many places today
I have ten siblings and was never expected to mother any of the younger ones. That part shocked me
Um... I love Dolly Parton, but in spite of the video"s "Tragic Life Story" title, I never knew how blessed her life actually was. Change "Tragic" to "Inspirational" and you've nailed it.
👌
I feel like it's both tragic and inspirational
@@amdl270 You have to pick one. I'll wait. _(Tapping foot impatiently)_
Thanks for your love and support I really appreciate your comments, I'm not chat long here kindly send me your email address am gonna text you up on my hangout
I love her too hello
the fact that she had so much money to be able to do all of these amazing things it’s upsetting that more celebrities don’t do these things
Hello Lynn, how are you doing?
Even though I am not a huge country fan, I do love Dolly's songs
Y’all need to change this title, her life was turbulent but not tragic; it’s actually a pretty good rags to riches story.
DesI Ivy if you had to eat condiments for dinner it was tragic
I was scared of the title
Scrumdiddlyyumptious but they are acting like DOLLY died
Short stACK, I agree! She's had many more good years than bad. The Talko obviously doesn't know what true tragedy is.
Right!
How was she voted in high school "least likely to succeed" when she was already singing with Johnny Cash at 13 years old? 🤔
chingalachuga didn’t mean they thought she would make it big
@@tcoleman124 I'm saying out of an _entire_ school of kids, they picked the one who performed with johnny cash? Pretty sure there were better candidates for that position
chingalachuga that was some haterism right there. Guess she proved those jakers wrong.
Yeah I don't think that's true, I think she said that for dramatic effect. Plus there's no way that category was in there to begin with, it would be so mean hahahaha
Ariane Lévesque
You underestimate highschool and the south
Definitely not a tragic story… inspiring and beautiful for sure. She’s so amazing
Dolly Parton's life is not a tragedy, it's a triumph.
Dolly is a true national treasure.
I hope to see her perform one day
@Emma Lancaster - ... I thought you were going to say “national Sensational”.
Couldn't agree more!😊
I was born and mostly raised in East Tennessee and when I tell y’all that they worship her over there, I practically felt like I knew her 😂
fr lol, i went to dollywood a few days ago, and my god, every single person there had a dolly shirt
Same with us and Steve Irwin. Every country I believe has a country sweetheart for us to all look up to.
@@hopelovewright4248 I miss Steve! Crikey! I still watch his show whenever it's on.
@@elise6251 bro I went there in 2018 and omg her face was everywhere

My GAWD she is such a beautiful woman.....inside and out. Who doesn't love her???
I always enjoy what you share here on CZcams but we're not friends yet, I will love to be friends with you.. how are you feeling today🥰🥰
Her grace is impeccable. She’s confident in exactly who she is and that is what I am here for 💕
"We had three rooms and a pan and we had running water when we would run and get it"lol
TikTok Queen looooool 💀
she is so funny😭😭😭😭💀
Dolly is one the the most purest kind hearted people on this earth
Dolly, I would love to hear you sing "I will always love you" the last time you sang it on stage to Kenny. I believe it was a celebration to Kenny and his career,50 years, I believe. Thank you so much. You're Awesome.
Your wish came true :) she sang it with Miley Cyrus
This is not a tragic life for Dolly. It's an amazing life. She made it from rural Tennessee to the Grand ole Opry. That's amazing!
It is only by the finger of God that gave Dolly her voice and she has used it wisely
I always enjoy what you share here on CZcams but we're not friends yet, I will love to be friends with you.. how are you feeling today🥰🥰
Thank you for the lovely comment. I love music of all kinds and can talk about it all day long.
@@tinapowers6937 oh I see I'm so glad to hear that from you 😊 if I may ask where are you from.?
if they make a movie about her, she should be played by hillary duff. they look so similar in my opinion
Ellis Hall I can see that too
If only Hilary duff could sing
It’s gotta be miley
Yaz Pixi oh true. i didn’t even think about that
@@ellishall2983 Dolly played miley's aunt in her show. They really do look a lot alike.
“I’d rather have a handsome man mess up my hair, not a ride” SAME DOLLY, SAME. 😂
oh well technically it depends on what kinda ride we're talkin ;)

@@zomgseriosuly I-
zomgseriosuly lol inappropriate 😂
zomgseriosuly let’s keep it PG mg guy
The love from this woman is incomparable.
What an amazing story. She is truly a saint and also blessed with an amazing voice.
We moved to Tennessee 3 years ago & signed my daughter up for the imagination library when she was 1 month old. It’s absolutely free. My daughter gets 1 free book in the mail every month. There hasn’t been a single book sent that we haven’t enjoyed. I’m so glad she started that program. ♡
burnhuman_2 absolutely love it here!
How cool 🙌
Same here in NC. We get books that my son adores! Have you gotten Violet the Pilot? My son LOVES that book! ❤❤❤
Like is that available for all classes of ppl i feel poor people should only get access to it because rich can afford anything. Sorry just saying
@@lazygirlveeI think it’s great she’s sending them to ALL kids, they shouldn’t be separated into only the “poor” kids. She hasn’t ran out of books has she? No. So all of them are getting them I don’t see the problem.
This should be titled the great life of Dolly Parton. What a successful and generous woman
True ❤️
" I'll Always Love You" is my favorite song of Dolly
same Its Just Different In My Opinion whenever i listen to that song i always cry inside idk why
Jolene and Island in the Stream are two of my favourite Dolly Parton's Songs. Thank God for her life!
If you ever come to Tennessee, especially East Tennessee, you do NOT talk bad about Dolly. She is our Appalachian Queen, she’s done so much for people and her very own community. We Love Our Dolly♥️💖
I miss East TN. Only lived there for 2.5 years and I had no idea who Dolly Parton was when I arrived. I very soon was enlightened by the natives. Love how friendly the people are. Pigeonforge is quite the tourist trap!
Keep it real Victoria! Oxoxoxox always. TN is the ultimate
Ik this isnt revelant but that tornado was so freaking scaryy
Couldn’t have said it better! I’m also from East TN and my family all STAN Dolly💕
I love me some Dolly don’t get me wrong, but Loretta Lynn is my Appalachian queen. (I’m from KY tho)
This title had me thinking Dolly had passed and I was gonna have a FIT
Makaela Mahoney I was finna be SICK
Her story makes you believe in the American dream. Her heart is just as amazing as her talent and beauty
I think her life is far from tragic. She had a phenomenal life. Very blessed life and a blessing to so many others
This should be retitlted "The Incredible life story of Dolly Parton"
“she’d rather have a handsome man mess up her hair, not some ride.”
Nothing negative can’t be said about this great woman. And what a super-woman!
I love Dolly. The way she carries herself with her style. I wanted her to be my mom when I was little. My parents were horribly abusive, divorced, psychopathic narcissists. It has been difficult all my life. Self reliance always my best friend beçause nobody competent I could ever count on. Thanks Dolly for the inspiration. Becky
Hello Becky
Wonderful! So much love and admiration, She is the best I have ever,
my dear where are you from will like us to no each other and also talk more about Dolly.
I live in Tennessee and I always go to the smoky mountains and to Dollywood with my family. My dad always told me the story of Dolly. I remember that my dad told me one day Dollys mother made Dolly a jacket with rags and colorful pieces of fabric and she loved it. But the kids at school made fun of her because she was poor but she still loved her jacket because her mother made it with love. Dolly is a really amazing woman
That used to be my favorite book... I never knew it was Dolly
My husband and I went to Dollywood in July of 99 with a group residents from a place we received services from
That was the inspiration for her song, "coat of many colors"
@@dollyparton9797 stop impersonating dolly parson. You are being reported idiot.
There is song all about that , it is called " Coat of Many Colors" It's my favorite song and i think it's one of her #1 hits
why did this make me cry for literally NO reason
😂😂😂
( not to be rude )
Same. ‘Cause “I will always love you” was playing on my mind in background! 🖤
SAME! Glad I’m not the only one LOL
Me too. This is so wholesome and I was feeling for Dolly
I just can't fault Dolly Parton's life story and herself as a human being. Her songwriting is incredible and every song tells a beautiful story.
Nothing but respect for this awesome woman. Her story isn't tragic, its unbelievable! She is an absolutely self made woman, she had to create her own word and made it acceptable to everyone else justto survive. She is an absolute idol for me, even I play and listen to metal.
Dolly Patron is universally loved and beloved❤️.There's no one else like her.
like if u agree
👇🏻
I absolutely love her
Kung-Fu Kenny Family I agree, but I’m not going to like just because you’re fishing. Learn to validate yourself rather than seeking false validation from strangers.
Can’t tell if people are liking this comment for Patron or Dolly Parton 😉
She’s has fake has incing cake
pantherhd1 what?
"The tragic Life..."
BOSS IS FUCKING THRIVING!
Nice!
“Tragic” 😒 more like “Successful”. Tf , that title.
I mean her childhood wasn't the best but still that title is too dramatic
Her childhood was tragic and very sad but even after her success she did have a lot of hardships
HTF do you think losing a baby brother YOU WERE IN CHARGE OF at only 9yo isn't tragic? Being poor on top of that having to go to bed dressed up for winter outdoors? That's a hard fucking life. Just because 'you made it' doesn't erase all that. Money can not fix heartache.
@@ExpectingStorms bruh. Thats not her entire life. Yeah its a tragic childhood that can carry with you mentally but the rest of her life wasn't tragic what are you on? I'm glad things got better for her but the problem is with the title painting it as if she's still suffering.
Nice she took showers at rivers just like I did back in my beautiful 😻 country El Salvador 🇸🇻 Dolly you are a true legend ❤️
To those who wondering whatever happened to the baby left on Dolly Parton‘s doorstep, Dolly Parton herself does not know what happened to that child. She only tells the story with the information in this CZcams video. She says it was the craziest thing ever happened to her. She said she was ill-equipped to take on a baby at that time. She didn’t want the authorities to think she had anything to do with the child’s circumstances so she did what she thought was best and called the authorities right away. She says she often wonders whatever happened to that child but has never sought out the child and never will in the future. She also said she could not imagine treating a baby like a puppy or a kitten and Life isn’t like the movies where she could just take the child on no questions asked.
Back in those days, that happened a lot. My mom is Dolly's age and she was given away at birth.
mascara1888 I would take a baby no questions asked.
its the expectation and audacity of people to just drop the baby off at some rich persons house. if shed ever taken it more peopled have done it to her. she did right in that!
@@Lala-ug2yc for dinner?
She would have been in a world of $h!t if she had kept that baby.
Sooo... she’s basically the most amazing person on the planet.
She was soooo beautiful when she was young. Most women beautified themselves whereas Dolly made herself look so camp and in your face, really over the top. I know it was part of her act, image and persona but even when she exaggerated her look, she still looked beautiful
Dolly did not have a tragic life! She was blessed with loving parents and siblings.. learned hard work and perseverance. She continues to give back so much to everyone.
Parents who aren’t loving enough. Maybe a little selfish
@@noodlejoos what?
Girl, I was born in 1980. Cuddled with my only sibling (male) in a bed. No running water. Alas
My talent is as a nurse. I wish I had a voice, but I’m happy as a nurse. #dollylove
♥️♥️♥️♥️
You don't go unnoticed 🤘🏼😘
Ok
imagination library sends books to every child born in tennessee once a month till they’re five, i think. it‘a a wonderful way to get kids reading.
Mace Alred North Carolina too ❤️❤️
It's actually at least national, and in Canada and the UK, I think. Sign up your kiddos!
Well depending on your zip code. It’s not available in a lot of places. It is an absolutely wonderful program though!
My daughter got them and we're in PA. but yes, until they're 5. The final book is "Look out Kindergarten, here I come" and there's a really sweet message on the inside from Dolly.
Janina Ackerman that’s so wonderful! i didn’t realize it was such a widespread thing!! we need more programs like this.
Omg I never knew she cared about autistic people, I’m so happy because Im autistic myself and not many people care about autistic children. So knowing she does makes me so happy, she’s my idol, I also love her music 🥰🌸💕
Wowwww this is the kind of celebrity worth celebrating, she helps people and helps lot of charities
“We had running water. When we run and get it” I’m to tickled .
I can relate to her childhood story. Except for the fact that I never become famous. People who have less in their lives will tend to be better adults. Growing up with having less than others makes you cherish whatever you get good in life.
Agree
My favorite dolly song is we are holding on next to nothing to hold on to also wild flowers
She didn't have anymore hardship then those around her. That was life in that time and area. She was blessed with talent and always shared those blessings where she grew up.
just love Dolly, shes a kind person i think, and i love her voice and her music🥰🥰🥰
Hi 👋🏻
My brother gets books from the imagination library 😊 he is always so excited when the mailman brings him a new book!!
Me: I don't really like country music
Also Me: jOlenE JoLeNE jolEne joLeeeeNnnNneee
The shit written as country music in the last 5 years is PURE shit. NOT country music at all.Any more than RAP is music. Pure Satanic garbage.
@@lewiswereb8994 Rap is music if done well.
Me too!
@@lewiswereb8994 yeah the lyrics for rap are pure trash and glorify money, killing people, drugs, ego, and treating women like shit
@@Cognitoman Country is the same.If you listen closely. Alcohol, fighting, killing it's just done "differently"
In a tragedy everyone dies and there’s no hope. Dolly’s life is anything but tragic. It’s the stuff of legends.
She is beautiful lady very beautiful voice friendly young lady singing very good voice thank you for sharing your beautiful voice love your voice thanks
Hi Anne how are you doing?
I worked at Dollywood from when I was 14 til recently, I just turned 19 and decided it was time for something different. I met dolly plenty of times and she is by far an angel walking the earth. The last five years would’ve been very different for me if it wasn’t for her❤️
💖💖💖💖
That's awesome 👍😎
I can’t believe she wrote Porter “I will always love you”
She’s been through so much and is now happily married ❤️
KISS IT JOLENE
Who can ever dislike this woman!?
What a beautifully humble person inside and out. When I younger I always thought of her as a busty dumb blonde but I'm glad to have learned more about her and how much shes overcome. I was so wrong and am happy to admit it
She never asked to have big boobs. But they do make her iconic and attractive.
Sad how we people form those kind of stereotypes... Glad you did your research.
She actually revealed why she chose the look. She modeled herself after the town tramp. She said she looked at her and how pretty she was and told her mother "I wanna be like her". So... she did. She made her hair big and blonde, lol. I remember her talking about it on a Christmas special a few years ago.
My uncle actually took dolly out for dinner, my mouth dropped when my mom told me this, not as a date or anything but for business. Dolly is such a kind hearted soul, I haven’t personally met her but near Christmas in Dollywood 2019 she came out onto this platform and lit up the giant Christmas tree in the park, I saw her up on the platform with hundreds of people surrounding. She’s so humble and kind
I love that she wears wigs & has her own wig line🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
I just adore Dolly Parton, always have. I really appreciate her loving heart, she has always advocated for & supported my LGBTQ community, even when nobody else was. I started this documentary saying, I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry...then they showed that she instituted a calming room for autistic kids at Dollywood. Splash mountain all over here. We need more people like her in the world.
I wouldn’t call her life tragic, I’m sure she would either. She lives in the light. Not the type to wallow in negativity. She’s a legend and so inspiring.
My favorite Dolly quote “it takes a lot of money to look this cheap”
She was so naturally gorgeous, I wish she hadn’t done all that to her face. She could’ve aged so gracefully!
Katie Haley fjtgn5
Katie Haley no she’s amazing the way she is
She an icon no matter. She is timeless
Honestly, I see exactly what you are saying. Definitely naturally blessed, but she wouldn't be who she is though without her glamour.
Shes still really beautiful shes 74
I like Dolly. She is a True Inspiration. A True Southern Gal👍🏾
I used to complain about sharing a room with my sister, this definitely humbled me.
I always enjoy what you share here on CZcams but we're not friends yet, I will love to be friends with you.. how are you feeling today🥰🥰
Dollywood theme park in Tennessee is absolutely beautiful, lots of beautiful music and shows, big rides, mountain history, and some good southern food and baking. I sound like an ad but I really enjoyed visiting there!
Just have to say, that podcast is not “Dolly’s podcast” it’s a podcast created by Jad Abumrad, from Radiolab. He interviewed her extensively, but that does not make it “her” podcast. Need to give credit because he worked on it for years.
Katrina Gorrie thank you! I was gonna comment this. It is a really great podcast too.
Regan totally! They work way too hard on that show to not be credited.
Her sense of humor is amazing!
How are you doing
She's a phenomenal woman and she is just Dolly who show the world how to be humble and still being famous.
Tragic??? Dolly is the original personification of the American Dream!!! She’s the *original* rags-to-riches story! Not to mention, she’s such an amazing woman. She has donated untold millions to her Imagination Library (they send 1 book per month to children from Birth til they start Kindergarten) and to countless charities here in the Smokies. Dolly is a Saint.
Success doesn't erase tragedy. Check your fucking privilege.

Uhmm last time I checked Andrew Carnegie was the "Rags to Riches King" he donated alot of money to the poor and wanted more kids to be educated he's literally the creator of PBS some of his money goes to that
Michele Ashley The only tragedy in this story was the death of her younger brother. Her childhood sounds close to something I’d aim for when I start a family of my own. That being said, I hope you heal. The mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart, and that was a nasty comment to read.
Rosalía_ reina de España So? What does your comment even have to do with anything? More than one thing can be true at the same time. Sure, he did a lot of great things. So has Dolly. Why is he the only one entitled to have a ”rags to riches” story? 🤔
I just finished watching... she certainly did rise up, and it never changed her. She is an absolute icon. Jolene for sure. If anyone remembers vinyl, I had a 45 of Jolene. Still love her today... great cover of her rise up
Hello Misfit....
The word tragic and Dolly don't belong in the same sentence! Even here in England, we know that this Lady is an Angel sent to earth! Nothing but enormous respect for this true Lady in every sense of the word!
NOTHING can ever change my GREAT impression of this AMAZING person !! SO happy I saw her in Copenhagen …I never got to se my other favorite Kenny Rogers….
She's arguably one of the greatest female singer songwriters EVER!! If you go beyond the hig pop hits and listen to songs like "The Bridge" "Little Sparrow" or "Dreamin" her virtuosity becomes apparent
She’s so beautiful and seems like a genuinely sweet and kind person. Everyone experiences tough times in life but she remains so positive and her voice is amazing!
She's beautiful, talented and her voices is amazing
Thank God she made it so many poor people are kept down their entire lives.
Rock on Dolly
I love Dolly so much!♥️ She is such a beautiful person inside & out
❤❤❤
