Dolly Parton and Carl Dean quietly eloped to Ringgold, Georgia, on May 30, 1966. At the time, Dolly’s music career was beginning to take off, and Fred Foster, the head of Monument Records, had asked her to postpone marriage for a year so she could focus on her career.
Dolly had other plans. Determined to marry Carl without creating a stir or having the wedding announced in her local Tennessee papers, the couple slipped across the state line into Georgia and said “I do.”
She may have honored her career commitments—but she wasn’t about to put the love of her life on hold. ❤️
Tim Curry in 2025: 'I don’t fear death'
'I suspect that in the end I will welcome it'
'I think it may be very comforting to go bye bye, and I want to earn it'
“But if death comes for me peacefully and I fade gently from light into dark oblivion, why would I be afraid of it? Sometimes, I rather think it would be a comfort.”
Thank you for everything, Tim ❤️
Heart of Glass was created by Debbie Harry and Chris Stein in 1975 as a slow, reggae song called "Once I Had a Love".
The members of Blondie (especially Debbie) were afraid that the "disco" sound would drive punk/new wave fans away from them, but producer Chapman insisted. Result? It became the biggest success of Blondie's career, #1 in the US, the UK and several countries.
The Dallas skyline lit up pink tonight in honor of Dolly Parton. Rest easy, Backwoods Barbie, we’ll always love you and everything you gave this world, diva. 🩷
and the only photos of him publicly available are from when they were young. we never saw him as an old man. that version of him was only for dolly to know. what a privilege it must’ve been to be the only person allowed to keep that part of someone entirely to yourself.
Tim Curry, the actor best known for playing the “sweet transvestite” Dr. Frank-N-Furter in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and Stephen King’s murderous clown Pennywise in “It,” has died. 🕊️
Crows are incredibly clever. This one figured out how to turn a tap on to get water and even remembered to turn it off afterwards. Their ability to learn, remember, and repeat useful behaviours is amazing
