Dolly Rebecca Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton was born on the 19th of January 1946 in Pittman Center, Tennessee and was raised in Sevierville, Tennessee to Avie Lee Parton, a homewife & Robert Lee Parton, a tobacco farmer. At the age of 12, she began being telecast on Knoxville TV and at 13 she was already recording on a small label and appearing at the Grand Ole Opry. She graduated from high school in 1964, and then moved to Nashville for her country music journey. Carl Dean, a asphalt-paving business owner, was her first lover. The couple was married on May 30 in 1966. Porter Wagoner hired her in 1967 to perform on his show, The Porter Wagoner Show (1961). She remained with The Porter Wagoner Show for seven years. The duets that they recorded became popular and she was asked to perform with him at the Grand Ole Opry. In the year that her hit "Joshua" hit #1 in 1970, her fame had surpassed hers, and she went on her own even though she recorded duets with his. In 1974, she quit the duo to become a solo artist. Dolly became a hugely popular performer and songwriter. Dolly was awarded many Country Music Association awards (1968-70 1971-1972, 1975-1976 and 1976). The diminutive (5'0") beauty was a natural for television. In the late 1970s, Dolly was frequently appearing on talk shows, and was even receiving her own Dolly (1976). In 1977, Dolly got her first Grammy award: Best Female Country Vocal Performance for her song "Here You Come Again." Dolly's first film appearance was in 9 to 5 (1980) in which she was awarded an Oscar nomination for writing the title tune, and also Grammy Awards 2, 3, Best Country Song, and Best Female Country Vocal Performance for the song "Nine to Five." Further fame was earned through her roles in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982), as and Rhinestone (1984), with the hit song "Tennessee Homesick Blues". Dolly Parton Enterprises is her media empire worth over $100 million. In 1986, she launched Dollywood, a Tennessee theme park located in Pigeon Forge. This was to celebrate her Smoky Mountain upbringing. In the 1987 television show Dolly, she starred as herself. For "Trio", she was awarded the Best Country Performance Duo or Group with Vocals Grammy in 1988.
