Dolly called me and said she wants to rest in a beautiful bed of plush cotton because, after a life of wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable and have some rest.

Having written thousands of songs across her decades-long career, Parton said songwriting was her greatest form of self-expression. “I am devastated,” said Fonda, who recruited Parton for the role in the 1980 comedy, which also starred Lily Tomlin.
"I’m just putting that all on hold," Parton said. "I can’t afford the luxury of, you know, getting that emotional right now," she said during an appearance on Khloé Kardashian’s podcast, " Khloé in Wonder Land.
She has described the Opry as the "church of my heart" and said performing there was a lifelong dream. “She doesn’t want y’all to mourn now,” Fonda said.
