Dolly Parton, the undisputed "Queen of Country Music," sold over 100 million records around the world. Dolly is not just singer, songwriter. She's also involved in acting and films. During her diverse career, she eliminated the myth of "dumb blondes," as she is advocating women empowerment and independence. Dolly Parton is quite an independent and business woman. The fact that she created Dollywood in 1961 speaks for itself, an amusement theme park visited by millions of people today - more than 50 years later is one of the most preferred tourist attractions in Tennessee. Moreover, Parton has retained tremendous control over her career and public image, making her life story a unique narrative of female strength and glamour.

If you like Dolly Parton's impact in the show business (humor, singing abilities, etc.), and if you appreciate her mastery of the country music, it's worth learning more about her as a person.

Dolly's work was quite inspirational to Whitney Houston with the astonishing "I will always love you" song. Dolly's work has left a tremendous impact in the music and film industry. She will be remembered as a true icon for many decades to come.
Dolly Parton is not just a big dreamer, as she advocates to dream more, learn more and be more, you have to do more to achieve all that. Dolly is not just a dreamer, she's a doer.

I love writing biographies about celebrities (dead or alive), because there's so much to learn from those people. Success leaves clues, so I study and write about successful people.

Conclusion
Introduction
Dolly Parton was born on January 19, 1946, in Locust Ridge, Tennessee. Dolly’s father, Robert was a tobacco farmer and her mother Avie Lee was a singer in church. Dolly was the 4th out of 12 children.
As many children brought up in the South, her early exposure to music was in church. Dolly’s grandfather was a Pentecostal preacher. Therefore, many of her early performances singing in Church were with her mother and family.
Dolly described her family as Dirt Poor.
In fact, she was in a television interview telling a story about one of her songs that she wrote titled Coat of Many Colors.
The song tells how her mother stitched a coat out of rags for her daughter due to lack of finance. Dolly continued that with patches and holes in her shoes, she excitedly went off school with her coat of many colors. She was laughed at and made fun of by other students for wearing a coat made of rags. This impacted her persona in one way or another.
