Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton is one of the best and well-loved country singers and songwriters in the 20th century. Starting in 1964, Dolly made some iconic songs, 25 of which even made it to No. 1 on Billboard Country charts, including Jolene and Islands in the Stream. Aside from singing, Dolly also ventured into acting with her show Dolly!. She also starred in 9 to 5 where she gained two Golden Globe nominations. Even if she already had a taste of the highest degree of success in her career, Dolly is not one to back down. Now on her retirement age, Dolly is still active in singing.

Dolly and her husband, Carl Dean, never had children of their own, which Dolly said she used to regret—but now, she’s happy to have become close to her younger siblings and her nieces and nephews. The couple is still committed to helping support many children through her charity. When Dolly’s not busy doing good or making music, she enjoys downtime with her husband.
