Dolly Parton (born January 19, 1946) is a country music singer-songwriter, musician, actress, philanthropist, and businesswoman best recognized for her decades-long career.
Parton made her album debut in 1967 with Hello, I’m Dolly, which led to success throughout the rest of the 1960s (both as a solo artist and with a series of duet albums with Porter Wagoner), before her sales and chart peak came during the 1970s and continued into the 1980s.
Parton’s records did not sell as well in the 1990s, but she found commercial success again in the new century, releasing albums on different indie labels, including her label, Dolly Records
Is Dolly Parton Dead or Still Alive?
Dolly Parton (born Dolly Rebecca Parton on May 13, 1946) is still alive and well as of Friday, October 20, 2023, when she announced the release of her duet of the song, Wrecking Ball, with Miley Cyrus on Instagram!
She also shared an Instagram video two days ago promoting her book, Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones (US | UK | AU).
All of those tweets came days to months after those YouTube and Facebook films claimed she died unexpectedly of a stroke, cancer, or some other “dangerous disease.”
Their allegation that an R.I.P. Dolly Parton Facebook page has gone viral is incorrect. There is no such thing as a Facebook page. It’s their regular spiel for making up celebrity deaths.
The statement from Dolly Parton’s unnamed representative confirming her death is identical to statements from other celebrities Medi aMass claimed were victims of death hoaxes, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Barry Gibb, Bruce Willis, Celine Dion, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dolly Parton, Harrison Ford, Justin Bieber, Lionel Messi, Lucy Liu, Madonna, Melanie Laurent, Morgan Freeman, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Pattinson, Simon Cowell, etc.
Meanwhile, Dolly Parton was born on January 19, 1946, in Pittman Centre, Tennessee, in a one-room cabin on the banks of the Little Pigeon River. Avie Lee Caroline (née Owens; 1923-2003) and Robert Lee Parton Sr. (1921-2000) raised her as the fourth of twelve children. Rebecca (Dunn) Whitted, Parton’s maternal great-great-grandmother, inspired her middle name.
Parton’s father, known as “Lee,” labored in the East Tennessee mountains, initially as a sharecropper and eventually as the owner of his modest tobacco farm and land. He also worked in construction to bolster the farm’s meager earnings. Despite her father’s illiteracy, Parton has frequently stated that he was one of the most business-savvy persons she had ever met.
Avie Lee Parton, Parton’s mother, looked after their huge family. Her 11 pregnancies in 20 years (the tenth being twins) made her a mother of 12 by the age of 35. Parton attributes her musical ability to her mother, who, despite being in bad health, managed to keep the house running and entertain her children with Smoky Mountain folklore and ancient ballads. Avie Lee, who had Welsh ancestry, was familiar with many old ballads brought to southern Appalachia by immigrants from the British Isles in the 18th and 19th centuries. Jake Owens, Avie Lee’s father, was a Pentecostal preacher, and Parton and her siblings were all regular churchgoers.
Parton has long attributed her financial acumen to her father, and her singing ability to her mother’s family. Parton’s family relocated from the Pittman Centre neighborhood to a farm on nearby Locust Ridge when she was a small kid.
Most of her favorite childhood memories took place there. Parton’s eponymous theme park Dollywood now has a facsimile of the Locust Ridge cabin. The farm acres and adjacent woodland inspired her to create “My Tennessee Mountain Home” in the 1970s.
