In 1976, Dolly Parton took a major step forward in her career when she became the host of her own variety show. While this was not her first time on television — she appeared on Porter Wagoner’s show for years — it was her first experience at the helm of a show. Unfortunately, it was not a pleasant working experience for Parton or many of the other people involved.
People were not happy on the set of Dolly Parton’s show
Parton was thrilled to begin work on her 1976 variety show, Dolly. Unfortunately, the experience of working on it was not what she had hoped.
“Everybody workin’ on the show became miserable,” Parton’s guitarist Tom Rutledge said in the book Dolly by Alanna Nash. “It wasn’t organized well, and it was time-consuming. They had a lot of technical difficulties. They wanted a more contemporary show, and that’s why they...

In the 1970s, Dolly Parton toured with her Traveling Family Band, a group made up of her relatives. Parton liked having them on the road with her, but their presence in her touring life caused problems. Her guitarist, who was not related to her, said Parton seemed to be afraid to make requests of her family members. They didn’t feel the same way about making demands of her.
Dolly Parton felt bad telling her family band what to do
Parton’s Uncle Louis ran her business affairs for a time, but quickly proved he wasn’t capable of carrying out the job. Parton’s band leader, Bill Rehrig, took over Louis’ responsibilities. When he did, Parton asked him to take some duties away from her, too.
“Dolly didn’t know how to deal with the family without putting them off,” guitarist Tom Rutledge said in the book Dolly by Alanna Nash.

There was a time when Randy Travis needed someone to save his life after a debilitating stroke left him unable to speak. Now, the country music legend has been credited with saving a fan’s life through music. Keep reading for more on the wholesome interaction.
Randy Travis Embraces AI
Musicians across genres have spoken out against the use of AI as the groundbreaking technology becomes more common. Garth Brooks and Dolly Parton both shared their opinions on using artificial intelligence in music. Lainey Wilson addressed Congress earlier this year about the dangers of AI.
But one artist is embracing AI completely. Randy Travis just released his first new recording since he suffered a stroke over a decade ago. The stroke robbed him of his ability to walk, speak, and sing, though he has recovered slightly.

The 1984 summer movie season kicked off in May and early June with a flurry of blockbusters. "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" opened to a gargantuan $25 million over Memorial Day weekend, and, unconcerned about getting chopped up in the mega-sequel's wake, Paramount scored a $17 million debut the following weekend with "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock." If you're thinking the studios might sit out a weekend while these films dominate the box office, Columbia and Warner Bros opted to throw a couple of haymakers over the June 8 three-day with, respectively, "Ghostbusters" and "Gremlins."
And then, on the fourth weekend of the summer movie season, Hollywood at last took a breather. With kids fresh out of school, the studios sat back and watched the aforementioned titles continue to flourish, while other pricey gambles (e.g. "Streets of Fire" and "Once Upon a Time in America") flopped.

In the early stages of Dolly Parton’s career, she dressed with consideration for how her dad might view her outfits. While she liked tight, sparkling costumes, she wanted to ensure that her outfits had high necklines. She tried to avoid wearing things that she thought would agitate her father.
Dolly Parton preferred her outfits to have high necklines because of her dad
When Parton accepted a position on The Porter Wagoner Show, she began working with designer Lucy Adams and seamstress Judy Hunt. They grew familiar with her tastes and personal style.
“If she could reach down and pick it up, it was too loose,” Adams said in the book Dolly by Alanna Nash. “If she’d left it up to me, I wouldn’t have done that. Sometimes I’d make things and think they fit real nice, but she’d say they were too big, for me to take them up more.

Dolly Parton has been a prolific writer all her life, able to crank out lyrics to as many as 20 songs in one day. She finds the process of writing to be very therapeutic and feels deeply as she works on songs. While some of what she writes about is pure fiction, she also draws inspiration from her life and experiences. Parton said people would be shocked to hear which of her lyrics are pulled directly from her real life.
Dolly Parton said she shows her real self in her lyrics
Parton has been writing songs since she was a child. She takes time every day to write something, no matter where she is. Everyone in Parton’s life knows how important writing is to her.
“People don’t realize how serious a songwriter she is and how much writing means to her,” her makeup artist Jo Coulter said in the book Dolly by Alanna Nash.

When Dolly Parton played concerts in the 1970s, she won the audience over with jokes and banter that was, according to her guitarist, often pre-written. She repeated the same jokes to her band show after show. While these lines got a laugh from a fresh audience, her band members began to tire of them. Tom Rutledge, her guitarist, said he could scarcely listen back to a recording of one concert.
Dolly Parton’s guitarist cringed when he listened to one of her concerts
In between songs during her concerts, Parton chatted to her audience and band members. The jokes were often, as a New York Times critic put it, “appallingly corny.” Rutledge said they were typically only funny when they went off-script.
“One of the rare cases when I remember anything funny happening on the stage is when Randy [Parton] screwed up [a key] line,” Rutledge said in the book Dolly by Alanna Nash.

Tribeca Festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal doesn’t follow a North Star as she and her team sift through tens of thousands of submissions each year. But as they whittle down those applicants to the 100 or so films comprising the final lineup, themes tend to emerge.

Miley Cyrus apparently knows that beauty is pain — and no pain, no gain. In a recent interview with W Magazine, the pop star revealed that she, remarkably, works out in heels.
“My mantra is, like any athlete, ‘Practice how you perform.’ So that’s why I practice in my heels,” Cyrus said. “The gym looks really tough, but then I’ve got my ivory Gucci slingbacks because they remind me of Marilyn Monroe. I train in heels, mostly.”
Beyond practicing how she performs, the artist explained the decision to forgo traditional training shoes also has to do with bringing a sense of womanhood into the historically masculine setting. “I’m interested in feminizing the workout space, because so much of the workout equipment is ugly,” she told W.
Elsewhere in the interview, Cyrus detailed her personal relationships with Beyoncé and Dolly Parton, confirming the latter prefers fax as her primary mode of communication,...

Dolly Parton’s Make-Up Artist ‘Almost Fainted’ When She Saw the Major Change Parton Made to Her Hair
While the public rarely sees Dolly Parton without a wig on, the people close to her have seen her natural hair. The hairstyles she likes to achieve are easier to achieve with wigs, and she damaged her hair by continually dying it. Earlier in her career, though, she wore her natural hair long. When she made a major change to it, she nearly caused her make-up artist to faint.
Dolly Parton made a surprising change to her hair
Parton has been wearing wigs for years. She said that she began to rely on hair pieces as soon as she could.
“I always wore my hair all teased up,” she wrote in the book, Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics. “Whenever that style started, I was the first to get my hair all poofy. Then as soon as I could buy those hairpieces and wigs, I wanted them. For one thing,...

Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner began working together in 1967 and formed a very close professional relationship. They had such good chemistry on The Porter Wagoner Show and in their duets that many wondered if they were having an affair. Parton denied this, but she admitted that they fought like a married couple. Wagoner was also extremely possessive over Parton. During an appearance on The Tonight Show, he didn’t allow anyone to ask her any questions.
Porter Wagoner didn’t let Dolly Parton talk during an interview
Part of the reason Wagoner hired Parton was for her image, and he wanted to make sure she kept up appearances. He was “totally protective — both of her and of her image,” said Nashville agent Dolores Smiley in the book Dolly by Alanna Nash. He wouldn’t even allow her to appear on the cover of a magazine that included advertisements for clubs that served alcohol.

Dolly Parton almost never steps out in public in casual clothes and natural makeup. The singer has favored towering wigs, bright eye makeup, and sequined clothing for most of her career. She believes this style suits her best, and hasn’t changed it much over the years. When asked why she doesn’t go out looking more natural, Parton said she thought her appearance would disappoint people.
Dolly Parton said she wouldn’t want to show the public her natural appearance
Practically every time Parton is in public, she wears eye-catching clothing, sparkling makeup, and a wig. She explained she was hesitant to appear otherwise because people have come to expect the look from her.
“See, that’s my gimmick,” she said in the book Dolly by Alanna Nash. “Me without my wig would be like Liberace in overalls. The public has come to expect me to look a certain way,...

Dolly Parton was proud of building her career on her own terms, but she noted that two other musicians helped her go far. While Parton denied that either of these artists influenced the decisions she made in her career, she said the publicity they gave her didn’t hurt. She joked that they did so much to bring her attention that she should have put them on her payroll.
Dolly Parton said two musicians gave her great publicity
In the 1970s, both Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt recorded versions of Parton’s songs. Their covers were successful — Harris’ version of “To Daddy” hit number three on the country charts — and brought attention to Parton’s writing. Both artists also spoke glowingly about how much they liked Parton.
“They were into my music before I even met either one of ’em,” she said in the book Dolly by Alanna Nash. “And I think they’re super.

In 1973, Dolly Parton released “Jolene.” The song became a major hit for Parton and found crossover success with a pop audience. When people complimented her on releasing a new type of song, she felt a bit frustrated. She had been trying to release songs like “Jolene” for years.
Dolly Parton had to fight to write songs like ‘Jolene’
In 1967, Parton began working with Porter Wagoner on The Porter Wagoner Show. In their years of collaboration, they released a number of duets together, and they consistently entered the Top 10 on country charts. “Jolene” was a solo effort by Parton, but she said Wagoner helped with the song.
“I have a big part of the arrangements in the main bulk of my songs, say like, I made up the little lick on the guitar, and it’s followed all the way through,” she said in the book Dolly by Alanna Nash, later adding,...

Sabrina Carpenter begins writing songs with 1 thing
In a 2024 Interview Magazine article, Carpenter was asked how she came up with her song titles. “Ooh, good question,” she replied. “I choose the names of my songs by things I feel would jump out at me on a piece of paper, and usually my songs start with titles.” The “Nonsense” singer gave an interesting answer, as sometimes songwriters will only come up with song titles after the rest of their composition is complete.

Beyoncé’s lyrics change to Dolly Parton’s classic song Jolene weren’t expected by the song’s composer, one Dolly Parton.
Parton revealed to E! News that she didn’t know Beyoncé was putting her own spin on the song.
“When they said she was gonna do Jolene, I expected it to be my regular one, but it wasn’t. But I love what she did to it. And as a songwriter, you love the fact that people do your songs no matter how they do them.”
“Well, I think it was very bold of her,” Parton said.
Parton provided an introduction for Beyoncé’s version of Jolene on the Cowboy Carter album. “Hey, miss Honey Bey. It’s Dolly P. You know that hussy with the good hair you sang about? Reminded me of someone I knew back when. Except she has flaming locks of auburn hair. Bless her heart.

When imagining Dolly Parton, the first word that comes to mind likely isn’t “modest.” The singer favors tight, revealing clothing, bright makeup, and towering wigs. According to those who knew her, though, Parton took modesty seriously. Her friends said that though Parton dressed a certain way, she was modest when it came to her body.
Dolly Parton was surprisingly modest, according to her friends
When Parton began to appear on The Porter Wagoner Show, she turned to seamstress Judy Hunt and designer Lucy Adams to build her a custom wardrobe. These women got to know Parton’s measurements well, but they never saw her body.
“She’s V-e-r-y modest, yes sir!” Hunt said in the book Dolly by Alanna Nash. “I mean she’ll turn that back! Go off in another room! You’re not gonna see her with no clothes on. Now, you can see her in her pantyhose,...

Lily Tomlin Weighs In On Jennifer Aniston’ 9 To 5′ Remake ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Lily Tomlin, one of three stars in the iconic 1980 movie 9 to 5, recently told People magazine that she felt “rejected” after the announcement of Jennnifer Aniston’s remake. The film, which starred Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin and featured the iconic Dolly Parton theme song, was a comedy masterclass about the corporate world riddled with sexism.
Earlier this year, Jennifer Aniston’s production banner Echo Films announced that a reboot is in the works at 20th Century Studios. In a recent interview with People, Lily Tomlin spoke about the sequel written by Oscar-winner Cody Diablo.
While Lily Tomlin wished Aniston the best with the reboot, the Grace and Frankie star also noted that she felt ‘rejected” by the announcement.

In a 2024 Interview Magazine article, Carpenter revealed what was going through her head when she wrote “Nonsense.” “I was at a really, really low point in my life about two years ago, so I was writing very few optimistic love songs,” she said. “That one always stuck out, but I felt like it might discredit some of the songs on the album that were about more sensitive subjects, so it almost didn’t make it in.

Lily Tomlin knows that a remake of the 1980 comedy classic 9 to 5 would be tricky. Particularly since the world she, Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton parodied has changed so much. And that’s why a sequel never happened.
“We had one official crack at the script,” Tomlin said in a People interview. “The draft just didn’t work for us. We couldn’t really see the work world today [in the pages]. People work from home. They take gig work. They don’t even know their boss. They’re at home!”
The trio ended up passing, with Parton telling Entertainment Tonight that the women had “dropped that whole idea.”
“I don’t think we’re going to do the sequel,” she said at the time. “We never could get the script where it was enough different than the first one, and that one turned out so good.”

Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner worked together for seven years. In that time, Parton went from a rising voice in Nashville to a recognizable star. Many people believed she had outgrown their working relationship and was ready to move into a solo career. Wagoner resented when people said Parton had been stuck in their partnership. He said that if anyone should have felt trapped, it was him.

In 1967, Parton joined The Porter Wagoner Show as a singer. She signed to Wagoner’s record label, and the pair began to release successful duets together. It was a major opportunity for her, but by the early 1970s, she began to feel stuck. When interviewers pointed this out to Wagoner, he bristled.

You know, part of you feels rejected. You think that character’s yours always. And you could reembody it."She went on to insist Aniston and screenwriter Diablo Cody may face some troubles getting the project off the ground. She added: ""It's going to be tough to make [the movie] happen. My sympathies are with Jennifer and her writer Diablo, who is a good writer.

Lily Tomlin knows the challenges of a 9 to 5 sequel, which is why she feels Jennifer Aniston’s reimagining of the iconic 1980 film is going to be “tough to make.”
The actress, who starred alongside Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda in the original movie, recently opened up to People magazine about their attempt to write a follow-up to the beloved film in 2018.
“We had one official crack at the script,” Tomlin recalled. “The draft just didn’t work for us. We couldn’t really see the work world today [in the pages]. People work from home. They take gig work. They don’t even know their boss. They’re at home!”
Though all three women were going to reprise their roles for the sequel, Parton later told Entertainment Tonight that they had ultimately “dropped that whole idea.”
“I don’t think we’re going to do the sequel,” the “Jolene” singer said at the time.

Forty-four years after “9 to 5” became a cinematic sensation and rally cry for women’s rights, stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin reunited to celebrate the Hollywood premiere of the documentary “Still Working 9 to 5.”
The original comedy followed a trio of office workers conspiring to put a check on their “sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot” of a boss, played by the late Dabney Coleman. In April, it was announced that Jennifer Aniston’s Echo Films was set to produce a “reimagining” of the movie for 20th Century Studios.
“We hope she has great success,” Tomlin told Variety. “It’s a hard nut to crack because the issues are somewhat different.”
“I hope she does it,” Fonda interjected.
“There’s still the undercurrent of the same kind of negativity towards females … [they’re] not easy-to-solve issues. So we’re very eager to see what they do,” Tomlin added.
