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

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.

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.

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!

[@tjfreno69]

Dolly is sooooo adorable!!!! I love her!!

[@cj-scorpio7225]

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.

[@virgoways2650]

Love her sense of humor and energy💕

[@movingonandup322]

Everyone gets happy in this woman's presence. She's the best. We love Dolly! 💛

[@chrisbaybay7326]

Conan is just as genuine a human being as Dolly, what a sight to see these two together

[@GraceLove33]

That’s what I thought too

[@chrisbaybay7326]

@@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

[@maetaylor5677]

Such a great interview 💟💟💟

[@enj1772]

The reading books you sponsor, in Tennessee, has been the most generous practice. From Tennessee me, thank you Dolly Parton.

[@andrewokamoto]

Dolly Parton is a beacon of light. I wish she was my aunt.

[@YouHadMeAtMoonPie]

I always wished that too. She’d be the most fun aunt ever!

[@BlkMagik]

Dolly is universally loved by people from all backgrounds. Such a beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit!

[@malikon6953]

there's something about her personality that's just amazing and always makes you smile.

[@hyejeongchang9153]

Damn. This woman is awesome. Her story took quite a turn and I was laughing my ass off 🤣

[@AhJodie]

She is smart as heck and would be great to hang out with.

[@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987]

Agree friend

[@lovefist86]

Damn, I love her. She's a joy. So funny and sweet. I hope we have many more years with her incredible personality.

[@carterfamilychannel]

This amazing woman is such a tonic! we need more good people in the world like this.

[@demetriuscooksey7147]

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!

[@ivykaneshiro7554]

She is the QUEEN of PERSONALITY and very BEAUTIFULLY HUMBLE…..she carry herself with great pride for who she is👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@stevencollier6670]

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

[@McFaddenWasRight]
