A biopic, a coffee brand and dog treats among Dolly Parton's business projects still to come
Confirmed
Parton's distinctive silhouette can be seen on the fence at Doggy Parton's dog park at Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop in Cornersville, Tennessee Nozell said that Parton had worked with her "handpicked" team for the past several years, to "build a project roadmap that will guide us for decades to come".
On Friday the music industry said "thank you" to her, with a star-studded celebration of Parton, who is the Grammys' 2019 MusiCares Person of the Year, in honor of her charity work, like Parton's Imagination Library , a literacy program she started which mails millions of free books each month to children under five.
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. Last year, Parton said she had one song she couldn't talk about - it was still secret and buried in a vault in Dollywood , external , and will not be released until 2045.
"Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity into everything she touched," her team said in a statement. And I'm still walking it, and He ain't said nothing to me about quittin' yet!
One night after a performance she met a young fan: "I remember this little redheaded girl with green eyes, prettiest little thing, and I said, 'Well, what's your name?' And she said, 'Jolene.' I said, 'I love that name.' All the way back to the bus I was [singing], 'Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,' so I wouldn't forget the name.
But no amount of money could pay me to go back and live through it again.'" "When I started writing these songs, my mom was real impressed with how I could write, writing these songs at such an early age," she said. "I wrote a song years ago called 'In the Good Old Days When Times Were Bad,' and it said, 'No amount of money could buy from me the memories that I have of then.
Having written thousands of songs across her decades-long career, Parton said songwriting was her greatest form of self-expression. She has described the Opry as the "church of my heart" and said performing there was a lifelong dream.
"We thought maybe it might do good in our county, and maybe a couple counties over," she said. She added they were in the "early stages of development", People said.
