She\u2019s been a star for a long time and doesn\u2019t plan to stop. When she was 18, she decided she wanted to be a star, and she made that dream come true.<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"post-single-content box mark-links\">\n<p>Dolly\u2019s childhood was tough because she grew up in a big family with not much money. Even though they didn\u2019t have a lot, Dolly always wanted to look good. She got inspired by someone in her town.<\/p>\n<p>But trying to look good didn\u2019t go well with her grandfather. Dolly shared that he physically hurt her because of how she looked. Despite these challenges, Dolly stayed connected to music, which has always been a big part of her life.<\/p>\n<p>She was born on January 19, 1946, in Locust Ridge, Tennessee. Growing up with 11 siblings, money was tight. However, her family loved music. Her mom sang and played guitar, and Dolly performed in church, learning more about music.<\/p>\n<p>Music was a big deal for her family, and her uncles helped her take the next step. One of them gave her a guitar, and she started writing her own songs. By age 10, she performed on TV and radio in Knoxville, Tennessee. At 13, she made her debut on a national country radio station, Grand Ole Opry, making about $20 a week.<\/p>\n<p>Dolly always loved fashion, and she often surprises her fans with her amazing looks and outfits. Despite facing challenges, she continues to do what she loves\u2014making music.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5948\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5948\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5948 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1-42.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1-42.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1-42-300x161.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"411\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5948\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shutterstock\/Bart Sherkow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When Dolly Parton was young, she really liked dressing up and making sure she looked good. She got the idea from a local woman who dressed in a flashy way. This woman wore tight skirts, high heels, and had fancy accessories. Dolly thought she was beautiful and would look for her whenever she went out, hoping to see something cool she was wearing.<\/p>\n<p>But not everyone liked Dolly looking different and glamorous, especially her father, grandfather, and a preacher. Her father didn\u2019t do anything about it, but sadly, her grandfather physically hurt her because of how she looked.<\/p>\n<p>Dolly was sensitive and didn\u2019t like being disciplined, but she was determined to be herself. Even though it cost her, she went for what she wanted. Years later, in 2011, she wrote a song called \u201cThe Sacrifice\u201d about this experience. The song talks about how she was willing to pay a price for her dreams and believes it was worth it for her.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5949\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5949\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5949\" src=\"http:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2-39.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2-39.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2-39-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2-39-745x1024.jpg 745w\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1056\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5949\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LOS ANGELES \u2013 1978: Country singer Dolly Parton poses for a portrait session dressed as a playboy bunny, 1978 in Los Angeles, California.

Even when her record label wanted to control parts of her private life, she stayed true to herself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always been true to myself,\u201d Dolly said. That\u2019s what her mom used to tell her: be true to yourself. She believes in doing things her way, in a way that aligns with her beliefs. It gives her strength because she can say, \u201cI can stand by this, I can live by this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While she cared about what people thought, it never stopped her from being herself. Dolly finished high school, being the first in her family to do so. In 1964, at 18, she decided to focus completely on her music career. She left home and went to Nashville, the heart of country music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a dream and a talent, I thought. And I really believed it was going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Nashville, Dolly became a star quickly. She worked with Porter Wagoner on The Porter Wagoner Show, and people loved their performances. She signed a contract with RCA Records, and in 1971, she got her first No. 1 country hit with \u201cJoshua.\u201d More hits followed, including the famous \u201cJolene.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5950\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5950\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5950 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-22.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-22.jpg 743w, https:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-22-218x300.jpg 218w\" alt=\"\" width=\"743\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5950\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ron Galella, Ltd.\/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The song \u201cJolene\u201d may only have 200 words, but it became a huge hit in the 20th century. Dolly Parton reached the top spot, No. 1, on the music charts. The song even got nominated for two Grammy Awards in the Best Female Country Vocal Performance category, for both the studio and live versions.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, \u201cJolene\u201d earned the 217th spot on Rolling Stone magazine\u2019s list of \u201cthe 500 Greatest Songs of All Time\u201d in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Dolly Parton is a prolific songwriter, having written over 3,000 songs. Some of her other famous songs include \u201cI Will Always Love You,\u201d \u201cThe Seeker,\u201d \u201cLove Is Like a Butterfly,\u201d and \u201cAll I Can Do.\u201d She received numerous awards and became a worldwide superstar.<\/p>\n<p>In 1977, she won her first Grammy with \u201cHere You Come Again,\u201d and more hits followed. In the 1980s, Dolly expanded into movies, starring in the hit comedy \u201c9 to 5\u201d alongside Jane Fonda. She even opened her own amusement park, Dollywood, in 1986.<\/p>\n<p>Dolly has sold over 100 million albums, topped the country chart 25 times, and won eight Grammy Awards. Despite all her success, she keeps creating new music, saying, \u201cAlmost every day I come up with a few song titles or a sweet melody.\u201d She feels young at heart, claiming to be 35 in spirit and mind, even though she\u2019s achieved so much in her career.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5951\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5951\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5951 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-19.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-19.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-19-300x200.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5951\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kevin Mazur\/Getty Images for The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Dolly Parton, the famous singer, found the love of her life more than 55 years ago. In 1964, when Dolly was 18, she met Carl Dean outside a laundromat in Nashville, Tennessee. Carl was 21, and right away, he felt there was something special about her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I first saw her, I thought, \u2018I\u2019m gonna marry that girl,&#8217;\u201d Carl said. \u201cAnd my second thought was, \u2018Lord, she\u2019s good lookin.\u2019 That was the day my life began. I wouldn\u2019t trade the last 50 years for nothing on this earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dolly remembered that he hollered at her from his pickup truck, but when he asked her out, she said no. Instead, she invited him over while she was babysitting her nephew a few days later. That marked the beginning of a love story that has lasted.<\/p>\n<p>In May 1966, Dolly and Carl got married in a private ceremony in Ringgold, Georgia. Even though her record label wanted them to wait because of her music career, they didn\u2019t want to. They chose Georgia for the wedding to keep it private, with only Dolly, Carl, and her mother attending.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5952\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5952\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5952 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/5-14.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/5-14.jpg 600w, https:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/5-14-300x169.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5952\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Instagram\/dollyparton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Dolly and Carl have been in love for a very long time. However, he doesn\u2019t join her on the red carpet at award shows or charity events, except for one time when she received her first songwriting award at the age of 20.<\/p>\n<p>After that event, as Dolly recalled, they got in their car and headed home. Carl turned to her and said, \u201cDolly, I want you to have everything you want, and I\u2019m happy for you, but don\u2019t you ever ask me to go to another one of them dang things again!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, they celebrated their 50th anniversary, and to make it special, they renewed their vows. Dolly said it was a sweet and special moment for them. Despite being in the spotlight, they\u2019ve kept their love strong and private.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t feel any pressure at all. We had our own little ceremony in a small chapel on our property. After that, we went in our little RV down to Ringgold, Georgia, and spent the night where we got married 50 years ago. We took some beautiful pictures, got all dressed up, and had a lot of fun, really.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve always been good buddies. We have a lot of fun and a lot of respect for each other. It was his first marriage and mine, and we never thought we\u2019d ever want to do that again. Why bother?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dolly Parton has been in the entertainment business for her whole life, and it has been great to have the support of her one true love through it all. Nowadays, they can pretty much do whatever they want, and we truly think they deserve it all.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s one thing that Carl and Dolly decided against \u2013 having children. Dolly had a simple reason for not wanting kids: her career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOLLY PARTON SHARES SAD THINGS FROM HER PAST.
