NathanHelping Kids
Since Parton was brought up in a humble home, she knew how hard it was for kids who are poor to enjoy what they want to do. Since she can help. Dolly decided to start the Dollywood Foundation, which runs Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. So if a kid is enrolled, he or she would get books mailed from birth till they join kindergarten.
Teaching Tolerance
Not only does she love to do charity work, Parton holds an annual Gay Day at Dollywood, where the LGBT community flocks to in abundance. For her, Dollywood is a place for everyone where committing a sin means judging someone else. In her song ‘Backwoods Barbie’ she speaks about being misunderstood. “I try to love everybody,” she claims.
Suicidal Attempts
When we see Parton, we presume that she has it all but in her life, there came a time where she felt hopeless and unhappy. She had married her husband but they agreed on an open relationship. Dolly broke up with her unnamed lover which lead her to attempt suicide. But then her Boston Terrier Popeye managed to convince her not to do so, then she dropped the gun and did not pull the trigger.
President Parton
Nobody can tell whom she voted for in the last presidential election. She was thought to have backed up Hillary Clinton. When asked about her thoughts on having a woman as president of USA, Dolly answered, “a woman would be great”. She went on to say that even she herself might become a candidate as she feels the country needs “more boobs!”
Gaining Back Her Relevancy
Dolly has been around for decades but her career does not show signs of slowing down just yet! Her recent ‘Pure & Simple’ tour was a massive success in the US. On the popular show ‘The Voice’ she performed with her godchild Miley Cyrus and Acappella group Pentatonix, and she also received the ‘Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award’ at the Country Music Awards. Parton sang with Kesha for a duet of ‘Old Flames Can’t Hold a Candle to You’ as well.
Reason For Her Long Sleeves?
Even though she would not necessarily ever show it, Dolly Parton apparently has tattoos covering her body. The 72-year-old country singer reportedly has a butterfly and an angel tattoo on her arm. Some celebrities claim that she has tattoos on her breasts tool! In 1996, Jay Leno managed to see Dolly’s arm tattoos on his show because she wore shoulder cut-outs on ‘The Tonight Show’. She revealed to him that she has a “little butterfly and a little angel, [her] guardian angel.”
