Dolly Rebecca Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton was created on the 19th of January 1946 in Pittman Center (Tennessee). She was born to Avie Lee Parton and Robert Lee Parton in Sevierville. Parton was a housewife and Parton is a farmer of tobacco. At 12, she was appearing on Knoxville TV and at 13 she had already begun recording for a small label and appearing at the Grand Ole Opry. She graduated high school in 1964, and then moved to Nashville to start her country-singing journey. Carl Dean, a asphalt-paving business owner, was her first love. They were married May 30 in 1966. Her singing in 1967 caught the interest of Porter Wagoner, who hired her to perform on his program, The Porter Wagoner Show (1961). She stayed on the show for seven years, her duets made waves and she was a part of the group that Porter Wagoner had at the Grand Ole Opry. She also sold records and performed on tour. At the point that her hit song "Joshua" hit #1 in the year 1970, her popularity had overshadowed his, and she went on her own even though she recorded duets with the singer. She separated from him to pursue her own career in 1974. Dolly became a hugely popular musician and singer. Dolly won numerous Country Music Association awards (1968 1970, 1970, 1971 1975, 1976). The diminutive (5'0") beauty was an easy fit for television. The mid-1970s saw her becoming a regular on TV. Dolly was frequently appearing on talk shows, and even before having her own Dolly (1976). Dolly was awarded her first Grammy award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance in 1977 for "Here You Come Again". Dolly's movie debut was in 9 to 5 (1980) and she got an Oscar nomination for her composition of the title tune, and also Grammy awards 2, 3, Best Country Song, and Best Female Country Vocal Performance for the track "Nine to Five." Dolly gained more attention for performing in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982), and in Rhinestone (1984) with the track "Tennessee Homesick Blues". She is the founder of Dolly Parton Enterprises, a $100 million media empire, and in 1986 she launched Dollywood, a theme park located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, to honor her Smoky Mountain childhood. In the 1987 television show Dolly she played herself. In the episode "Trio" she won the Best Country Performance Duo or Group with Vocals Grammy in 1988.
