A few years back I was a manager at a fine dining restaurant in Los Angeles that catered to a VIP crowd. One night a small group was coming in for a business dinner in one of the private rooms in the back. Dolly was the first to arrive. She had a driver and security who stayed in the lounge. I escorted her back and offered her a beverage while she waited. She asked for water. I came back with a small bottle of Evian and a wine glass with a slice of lemon. She said, and I kid you not, "Oh sweetheart, thank you so much, but I don't need the fancy stuff. I'm used to a jelly jar filled from the tap" She was the most real, genuine, appreciative, kind-hearted, funny, and an all-around likeable person. I dealt with hundreds of Hollywood A-listers while working there and nobody ever came close to as lovely a person as her. Period
Thanks for sharing!
That is a lovely story, thanks for sharing!
"Oh sweetheart, thank you so much, but I don't need the fancy stuff. I'm used to a jelly jar filled from the tap"
Sure is beautiful! :)
😂😂😂….what a great story… but I also forgot to mentioned that she asked me for pretzels and I said for you ANYTHING….an this is the best part….she opened the bag of pretzels splits the bag open and I look at her and she said….”I love the salt”😂😂😂I almost died😂😂🥰🥰🇵🇷🇵🇷🌈🌈
I can believe this story too.
Dolly is actually quite rude & terse to those who work for her.
"I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde."
-- Dolly Parton
😆
So much love and wisdom
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ in one lady ,
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You're among the very best!
This was posted seven months ago, but it is from decades ago!
I believe Dolly Parton is what happens if an unusually gifted person is raised by their family with unusually high amounts of confidence, realness and _love._
I agree, wholeheartedly. Dolly is as real as you get for someone with her fame and fortune. Love her!
Her autobiography was so amazing. I devoured it. I need to read her new one!! I love Dolly and Loretta Lynn for the same reason. They are unaffected by fame somehow.
damn im screwed so
Nobody cuts across all demographics like Dolly. Young, old. liberal, conservative, etc. Everybody loves Dolly.
I know that's damn right!✊🏼👍🏼
I am a flight attendant and I have had the honor to serve her several times my very first time was from Toronto to Detroit and a few years later we went from Memphis to Nashville and as soon as she boarded she said “I have seen you before” and I told her when and she said “you are from the islands?” and I said yes I am from Puerto Rico and then she said you still cute as a button and of course I acted like a teenager…I just LOVE her🥰🥰🇵🇷🌈….she is truly a genuine down to earth humble woman…🥰🥰🥰🇵🇷🌈
Awesome story
What a great experience!
I'm one of those people who remember others, but she meets SO many folks that I'm impressed she retains it, shows she cares!!!
Great! Lucky you! (And, I'm sure, lucky her.)
@@AlanCanon2222 you are very kind I am very lucky…I know I have said this before but I just love her🥰🥰🇵🇷🌈
I love that she always acknowledges everyone in the room.
Southern hospitality I'd suppose
Such a sign of a good hearted person. She recognizes people's humanity, regardless of their job, status, etc.
She flew through Cleveland when I was working for a major airline. My coworker asked her if she would call his answering machine and leave a message, so he could use it has the message others would hear when they called his home. She did it! She said some thing like, “ Hi, this is Dolly. Dan can’t come to the phone right now, because we’re out of having SOOOME fun. Just leave your name and number and he’ll get back to you as soon as he can.” 😁
I also asked for an autograph for my husband, whose name is Carl. She said, “why, honey, my husbands name is Carl too.” ♥️
I adore her, as do so many.
That is the best Dolly story I ever heard!!!!
That is hilarious!
Dolly is, indeed, a jewel. People, this interview is from 2005. She was 59 at the time of the interview.
Wow. Dolly was beautiful then & still beautiful now.🌹
I'm a young man and I wouldn't have told her no.
@@picklesmcmillan217 😂
@@picklesmcmillan217 your comment made me smile for some reason. LOL. Take care
she is still a knockout for her age, good for her.
this woman... you can't help but smile. I don't think there's a more genuine, likeable celebrity out there, from anywhere.
Keanu Reeves is high up there
And the late Betty White.
Not so sure about that.
God I love her!!!!!!
@@doubledoc7807 yuck!
I've never been a fan of country music, but I've always been a fan of her. She's just always come off as real, down to earth and so sweet.
my aunt went to school with dolly
I assume by "real" you mean spiritually or metaphysically, because visually this person is completely comprised of surgery, makeup, jewellery, rings, hair dye, and costume.
@@captainphil2023 LMAO! Come on, you'd have to be an idiot to think anyone of her age would look like that naturally. Obviously, I mean her mind and how she treats people as far as I've seen.
@@captainphil2023 She seems so sweet
Dw808. Listen to her song Coat of many colors" It's very moving
I don’t think this magnificent woman has an evil bone in her body. Every interview or appearance she’s always so sweet and genuine. She’s definitely a national treasure❤
She got that old school southern charm, so polite and humble even though she is a superstar that hasn't gone to her head, it's so refreshing to see. Just hearing hearing voice and accent makes you all warm inside, such a lovely Lady.
Dolly Parton is a standup comedian in a parallel reality
Bongo stands?!
@@tvtitlechampion3238 But how about those led zeplins huh?
Agreed
I love Dolly, she is just the most sweetest kindhearted person.
Not anymore!
She is! Anyone who doesn't love her is either evil or an idiot.
@@cynthcorcor126 Dolly is far better than you could ever be.
She is a sweetheart, if she lives to be 127 she'll still be as cute a button.
@@cynthcorcor126 Why what happened?
She's a legend. I met her EXTREMELY briefly when I worked at a radio station in NY. She walked into the studio and literally lit up the room. It was only a few seconds and she made an impression that fast. She really has got it. It has to be mostly genuine; no one could fake that for 50+ years.
She’s a phenomenal story teller and songwriter.
She is such a treat to watch, always has been. I am glad she kept her personality.
Still a country girl. Amen.
Gotta love that big personality
She gives tons of books to children through a foundation she created. She is a good person.
She truly is beautiful, inside and out.
Yes she do in the v.i also books are receive every month
With all that crazy money and fame she started the Imagination Library. Free age appropriate and family oriented books to any kids from birth to 5 in the US, UK, Canada, Ireland and Australia. I not a big fan of country music but I'm a big fan of hers!
@@adlihkristopher2906 My grandson gets them too :) He LOVES them!
That and she reads audio to them also. Very kind woman.
She’s so naturally funny. She doesn’t have to try. And she’s got a heart of gold. We need to protect this woman at all costs! She’s too good. She’s another Betty White. We need her until she’s 100+!
I truly believe she is one of the greatest people to have graced this earth, God really blessed us when he shared Dolly with us!
she's an angel
@@ARC.475 I can picture of Selena Quintanilla if she hadn’t been murdered on one of these shows, and she would be just the same as Dolly is. Kind, humble and sweet. Not a diva at all.
I just love how Conan doesn't go to the classic "dolly, don't you think you need to tone it down." He immediately just compliments how gorgeous she looks and appreciates the effort she puts into the look. Love him and Love her
"Classic" Conan would do the opposite, but he was weirdly not joke-perving-out here.
Yes but she definitely overdid it in every way.
@@TylerBaraby that's what she works at. But...really I'm so sick of all these fancy gowns etc. And dolly has more money than all of them. As a small town girl...I can relate. I'm not a performer so I don't get all "dressed up" but dolly owns a boatload of denim I'm sure.
Like ...well a very well know interviewer asked her and dolly shut her down nicely but it was ridiculous to ask. There are women celebrities that wear the most gaudy dress then they call it art because it came from House of....wherever. Some are art, I'll say, but dolly just had to learn on her own because she went star status fast and now it's signature.
This is how you're supposed to do it: give respect
Its funny cuz absolutely NOBODY…
Has anything bad to say about Dolly…
No matter what walk of life you’re in everybody loves this woman.
@@whatsup5791
That is exactly right. And Jolene loves Dolly now.
Oh my god! How duped the world has been! No one will believe the real truth about "dolly". What madness! Ughhhh!
@@abeautifullife5303 eat a Snickers.
It's because the world has been made for us to believe EVERYTHING that is said or that we see as truth. We The People live in a deceptive inverted world. Someday the world will be righted.
I agree
I am over 50 and I can remember watching Dolly in her early days. She has never changed. A very bubbly friendly attractive woman who NEVER is depressed always cheerful woman who distract us from the problems of the world. I have a cousin who had a personality EXACTLY like Dolly. WE NEED more woman like her in this world! I am still stunned she can still keep her figure!
Hello Nicola..
Her positive attitude is contagious, such a nice woman.
America’s sweetheart. Charming, comical, brainy, talented, benevolent. Such a wonderful person all-around. Reminds me of my beloved late grandmother, who was a huge Dolly fan. 🥰
She’s the BEST of humanity. ♥️
My late grandmother loved Dolly as well(she got saved though). She loved Coat of Many Colors.
I love her confidence, in contrast to many other people who easily feel intimidated whenever their bodies are becoming a topic.
All ive ever heard is how she's such a wonderful person, like truly truly a gem of a woman. She' has such a story and testament to her life and upbringing. So humble even after obtaining so much. And she never strayed from being herself.
lI agree
The hilarious part is that I too, got mistaken for a hooker.
Back then cell phones weren't readily available and there weren't any telephone booths nearby - I was waiting for a friend from college to come by and help me move to my new apartment. She was suppose to be there by 8AM. She never showed up.
I spent all day walking in front of the old apartment building trying to keep an eye out for her. A cop saw me and asked what I was doing there - I innocently said I was waiting for my friend. For almost 8 hours he kept asking me on and off - what are you still doing here - I repeated - waiting for my friend. He asked me one last and final time and I blew my top and asked why do you keep asking me that - I told you I was waiting for my friend. He then realized I was telling the truth when he saw my luggage just by the apartment door. He laughed and said I thought you were a hooker.
Needless to say - this country bumpkin was horrified, embarrassed and mad at the same time.
He & his partner went off duty and helped me move.
That was sure nice of him.
I believe you ,back then police officers were really nice..I decided to leave a party walking and got lost on my way home ( after a little too many) police officers stopped me ( also no cell phones available yet) and offered to call by brother to pick me up .
Cell phones didn't even exist at the time. Had to use a phone booth.
LOVE Dolly! She's an amazing singer, but I think everyone can learn how to be a better human being from her!
she has wrote a unreal amount of songs and is wort over $600mil, most of which she gives away to charity, a true idol/national treasure..
@@TheNervousnation Absolutely Agree!
Absolutely Agree!!!
With all that crazy money and fame she started the Imagination Library. Free age appropriate and family oriented books to any kids from birth to 5 in the US, UK, Canada, Ireland and Australia. I not a big fan of country music but I'm a big fan of hers!
@@cynthiakeller5954 Wow! Didn't know that. Thanks for shareing that. Makes me love her even more!
Her story about NY had me in stitches. She's HILARIOUS!!!
And a bada**. 😎
@@MissMeggypoo Yup!!
I was hoping to hear the end of the story!
It’s the outside of a woman that attracts you, but it’s the inside of a woman that keeps you with her. Dolly is a keeper! What a wonderful, humble lady. Always liked her.
I never really paid much attention, I knew of her of course now only today seen a few interviews and she's really a smart woman, no pretense whatsoever. It's a rarity these days
More of a Pearl Jam fan myself, but how could anyone not love her? You always feel better just listening to her speak, let alone perform. From 8 to 80, her appeal is universal. A true national treasure.
Pearl Jam LMFAO 🤡
I'm sorry.
I,ve NEVER wished success on a huge level like Dolly,s achieved, but she is the only one who I believe truly DESERVES it!!
She's so down to earth and sweet,..more modern women should take notes..she a class act.👍
She is so funny. I love Dolly and her ability to be brutally honest about herself. Can you believe she will be 80 in 4 years??
No way!
Dolly is who she is & nobody can take her dignity & class away from her no matter how hard they try she can roll with the jokes & still come away smiling .... she's a classy southern woman...
Dolly is the truest form of a great human being. Love her, love her story's, and her great music!!
Dolly looks great and her personality is so so genuine and sweet.
NYC Hotel room, $400. Dolly's
story about a NYC hotel room, priceless.
This lady is probably the most real, doen to earth person you'll ever meet!
I just love this lady. She is a wonderful human being.
Dolly is a national treasure.
Woot Woot
Smokies in tha House
Yep, both of 'em
Without EVER
Still love Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds in The Best Little whorehouse in Texas 😍😍😍
@@carmelaszymanski8104
Are you Jealous?
It is so strange for me to see her, after so many years, still so beautiful so charismatic.
I remember watching her on the TV while I was a child .. my dream was to look like her one day.
I'm not even close, but now looking at her, gosh she is still looking DIVINE and what a kind and genuine personality she have..
I can't hide it, I absolutely Adore her. Dolly Parton ♥ Forever!
Conan is just as genuine a human being as Dolly, what a sight to see these two together
That’s what I thought too
@@GraceLove33 right? I see Dolly in a thumbnail, I click. If I see Conan I click. But then I noticed she was on Team coco's channel and I'm like no way
This woman is a treasure. Both as a songwriter (whether you like country or not, she's a master of the craft) and as a person. She's a light in this world.
I remember I was going thru a terrible time when those fires hit in the smokies. I'm from KY and decided to come down and put my problems aside for a bit. I came down and helped. This what I'm fixing to say hopes it touches a person. When I came down and worked in those mountains I came to realize real quick that I had no problems even though I did and still do but nothing compared to what fire victims go thru. This truly touch my heart. It was like a nuclear blast had went off and there was nothing. I was so saddened but I showed up with my helping hand everyday and the people I met both victims and volunteers actually pulled me thru my own problems. Dolly helped so many of her home God bless her over and over. We need to take lessons off of each other and be kind to one another no matter where your from. Believe me there's magic in those mountains.
This has the appearance of one of those long-winded shaggy dog stories, sir. E for effort and execution.
she is so human and simple,easy going lady that i found myself smilling all thru the interview;i think she is one of the most beautiful creations we have in this age
She said, "I got some bongo stands" hahaha she is the absolute best.
Anyone else rocking that much makeup and plastic surgery would get mocked online as being fake, but she is so genuinely loveable it is simply undeniable, I honestly can't imagine anyone not loving this woman
I think it's the fact that she owns it and jokes about it. Some people would take that too seriously. Dolly once famously said "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap", so her joking about it takes all the power out of people ragging on her
Barbara Walters attempted to drag her in an interview. Dolly handled herself with class and humor as usual.
@@barbiejean7947 Barbara Walters was often trashy
I once heard she sleeps with makeup on. Wow. I was told to wash my face because it ages you. Go figure.
@@liliabenavides4052 I read you like to spread rumors and engage in petty gossip. Any truth in this?
Such a sweet, kind hearted, southern woman. It would be such a better world if more people were like her. Love you Dolly!!❤❤💛
Agree.❤❤❤
When people say they don’t like country music, they mean bad country music, Dolly wrote masterpieces and songs that go beyond genre. It’s country but evergreen
She is one person I would love to meet she's so wholesome and real
I love her for being honest about her appearance. As she once said, 'I spend a lotta money to look cheap"
Ar least she is honest about it.
It's so weird, I've never thought she looked "cheap". Over the top maybe, but when I think of say Elton John, I'd never describe him as looking cheap. It's strange because I've thought some other celebrities on the red carpet and what not, have actually looked like street walkers, but I've never thought she did. Maybe it's just the ratio she has figured out. If you're going to show a ton of boob, cover the legs more. If you're going to show a ton of leg, cover the boob more (they're impossible to "hide", but she has figured out how to minimize).
she looks amazing Lol.
I don't think she looks cheap!!! I think she is adorable.
Dolly never forgets she is just like a lot of us.... fun loving, warm hearted, sincere... Hilarious personality and stays humble even with her successes in life she has accomplished.
Pretty sure she is fun to be around....
Love her!! She hasn't let fame and fortune ruin her life. She really is the only famous person that is always down to earth. Who doesn't get a smile on their face when you see her!
This woman 🤷🏻♂️ imagine being so talented and so smart and so kind and so funny and the list goes on and on and still manage to be so down to earth. Remarkable woman
Can we get Dolly on the Conan Podcast???
I love Dolly so much! Only she could the that NYC story in such a cheerful, charming way.
Hello there Mariela it's nice meeting you here
“I’m not packing now!”😂😂😂
What a sweet and humble lady!!
Not making a fuss about ppl picking on her.
God bless her.
76 years, beautiful with a big heart and she sure can sing, so lovely ❤❤
I met dolly on a plane way back in the 70s, and I was 8 or 9. She was amazing, just sweet as strawberry jam.
"But that doesn't matter - well I love New York now", she says 😂 This woman is so talented and hilarious.
I just freaking LOVE Dolly. She is an amazing person, and she is stupendously talented. She deserves all of the success that she has achieved in her life and more. I’m so happy for her. I’m not a fan of country music, my husband and I love Dolly because she rocks.
Hello Kathrin..
She gives all employees of Dollywood free education right? Just one of many things she does. An amazing person.
Shane P - She does. She says she wishes she would've had that opportunity when she was younger. She says she doesn't need all the money she has so why not help other people?
Quite a human being.
@@christopherweise438 : Agree completely 👌 👏 💕
@Musical Box - Hmmm.....shocking! (sarcasm)
Well, I tell you what, they absolutely love her over there. I honeymooned in Gatlinburg back in 2004 when I was with my ex-wife. We stayed at a cabin in pigeon Forge which is her hometown. Anyway, around there, they call her Miss Dolly. Or, Miss Dolly Parton. Howsoever they say it, it’s with genuine, unforced respect and reverence. She’s given back to her community in all kinds of ways and those people appreciate it from the heart. She is very inspiring. I have been a fan of hers for decades.
@Musical Box source please.
The fact that Dolly wore green to share her common ancestry with Conan melted my heart. She is truly a living doll. Celtic pride!
Dolly is so incredible. She never gets old - in all ways.
It's difficult to decide if Dolly is a better singer or better comedian. Or perhaps both. She's a wonderful storyteller.
Every time I see a Dolly Parton video on CZcams, I think 'no one can tell a Dolly Parton joke like Dolly Parton.' It doesn't matter what video it is, even if there isn't a Dolly Parton joke. She just makes me happy to see.
What a treasure. She just exudes joy
Damn. This woman is awesome. Her story took quite a turn and I was laughing my ass off 🤣
You'd have to be one truly miserable person to not love and enjoy Dolly as the kind, genuine, incredible (the list goes on) person that she is; This woman is a treasure.
I'm a miserable prick and even I can't help but love her. She might be the most likeable person I've seen.
Dolly is universally loved by people from all backgrounds. Such a beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit!
She's an ANGEL. Like literal angel on earth!
Dolly is so damn cool. A true rockstar.
@ashley1994 believe me, she's a rockstar.
Everyone gets happy in this woman's presence. She's the best. We love Dolly! 💛
❤❤❤
Don't really know her music BUT from the interviews I've seen of her I absolutely LOVE her. She's humble, sweet, beautiful, direct and down to earth
Lol
I freaken love Dolly Parton. She is such a humble and down to earth icon. 🥰
She is smart as heck and would be great to hang out with.
Agree friend
Holy crap. I could listen to her tell stories all day. She's amazing.
Dolly Rebecca Parton wrote the songs “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” in ONE DAY. She really wanted Elvis to record the latter. She heard him sing it, and his voice sent chills down her spine. Elvis agreed to record the song, but his greedy manager said, “Only if Elvis will own the rights to the song.” Dolly is one of twelve children. She said, “I can’t do that. I have family and I must leave them something when I’m gone.” Dolly was just starting out when she wrote “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You.” She’s so funny, too. She said as children, the children had to all sleep in two beds as they were so poor, but they had so much love in their family. If one peed the bed, all of the kids were soaking wet! She’s humble and admits to wearing wigs and having a LOT of plastic surgery. She once said, “We were so poor when I was growing up, that we couldn’t afford nail polish, makeup and new clothes, and I’m aware I go overboard with it all. But it costs a lot of money to look this cheap!” 😂 I love her sweet personality and the fact that she’s able to make fun of herself. She’s a GEM!
The reading books you sponsor, in Tennessee, has been the most generous practice. From Tennessee me, thank you Dolly Parton.
I can't believe that happened to her,I never told anyone about my similar experience, now I don't feel so embarrassed (35 years later)Her skin is amazing!What a beautiful woman!
“It costs a lot of money to look this cheap” - Dolly Parton 🤣💯💯💯
This amazing woman is such a tonic! we need more good people in the world like this.
I’ve ALWAYS had a great deal of respect for those of us who have great senses of humor & specifically can laugh at ourselves. What amazing gifts she’s been given in her life & has used all of them. Many of us can’t really say that.
She is the QUEEN of PERSONALITY and very BEAUTIFULLY HUMBLE…..she carry herself with great pride for who she is👏👏👏👏👏👏
Every time I see her she is always fantastic.
Sierie: Dolly Parton was born on March 3, 1944, her mother Avia was 31, at the time. Dolly is the youngest, and Last Remaining of Silent Generation born in ( 1928-1944), Dolly is 76 years old.
Dolly is sooooo adorable!!!! I love her!!
Dolly Parton is a beacon of light. I wish she was my aunt.
I always wished that too. She’d be the most fun aunt ever!
Thank you Dolly for my grandsons monthly book from The Imagination Library. You're a beautiful person. Xoxo
you can see Dolly is genuine all her life and has a good heart
I'm infatuated with Dolly Parton: been watching her interviews and listening to her songs non stop.
I've always been a Dolly fan, not because of what the tabloids seem to wanna keep writing about. She's a class act and I bet she is just a blast to be around; always so optimistic and full of boundless energy. I've probably had a low key celebrity crush on her for 35 years or better!
Never seen such a sweet, positive, witty famous person before.
One of my favorite things about this segment is how she makes a point to greet the audience. Not just a wave or a head nod, but she turns to the audience and speaks to them. She's so classy and down to earth!
Dolly is SO endearing! It's IMPOSSIBLE not to be charmed by her, and she has an amazing, quick, BRILLIANT wit about her. One-of-a-kind. 🎈🎯❣
💯 Agree!!! 💕
She seems like such a lovely person inside and out. Love her. ♥️
Just an amazing human being.
there's something about her personality that's just amazing and always makes you smile.
