Let me first admit I didn’t grow up with Dolly Parton, so I don’t genuinely know how bright she shined at 10 years old from a first hand account. However, I’ve watched enough clips of her magic on the internet and television to know a glow like hers doesn’t happen overnight.
From what I’ve learned, Dolly Parton has always shown she’s more than a musician. If you take a brief glance at her contributions to music, and her donations to society, you will see how much effort she has placed into creating a path that stretches beyond music into social change.
While The Dolly Parton Foundation launched in 1998 when Dolly was 42 years old, I’d bet her philanthropic deeds began long before that age. A list of her community commitments was posted by a writer for YardBarker, (but the list only begins with the trajectory of her deeds from the start of her foundation, so I can’t confirm my theory yet).
What I can confirm (and based on the videos I share below for confirmation), is that her recently released album, and her previous works shows her range, talent, and ability to create works of art that will last for centuries.
I look forward to learning more about the inner workings of Dolly Parton, and sharing what I learn, until then you can enjoy her answers to some of the most popular questions below.
