Dolly Parton was one of the first public figures fundraising and fighting for people living with HIV and AIDS in 80’s, when the government refused to. Always been a LGBTQ rights advocate as well.

Rest in peace Dolly.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.

She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.

The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.

She handed out the checks herself.

In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.

When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.

You've probably heard that part.

Here's the part you haven't:

The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.

Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.

She built her county an entire hospital.

She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.

In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.

Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.

In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.

And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.

She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.

She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.

Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

Se murió una mujer con un corazón inmenso, generosa, empática, donó plata pa vacunación de covid e investigación médica, apoyó bibliotecas y alfabetización infantil, ayudó durante desastres naturales, y en un mismo día compuso Jolene y I will always love you. Dolly, gracias.

[Miley Official @MileyCyrusBz]

When Miley asked Dolly Parton to be on Hannah Montana, executives were so starstruck that they told her to ask for anything she wanted. Dolly told them:

“All I need is a toilet and somewhere to hang my wig.” and did it for Miley 💔

[Inkfy @inkfycreates]

That woman is 100% right and she should say it. I have no issues with people coming into hobbies wanting to learn and be open-minded. I have a problem with people who refuse to integrate, complain about everything, and then get mad when you tell them not to engage.

[chugging pilk at 2am and getting a tummy ache @GASLIGHTER_]

many believe Dolly Parton's song 9 to 5 was titled after the movie or the standard workday, but the song and the movie were actually named after and inspired by the 9 to 5 movement which was the first mass women organisation for womens rights in the workplace.

[𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐀 𝐉𝐀𝐘𝐄’ @MissThrilla]

and I LOVED the fact that she only agreed to do it if Sabrina agreed to not curse/make the remix an edited version. Aunty Dolly was a gem.

Dolly Parton casi chocó su automóvil la primera vez que escuchó a Whitney Houston cantar “I Will Always Love You”.

La canción había nacido casi 20 años antes, cuando Dolly decidió separarse profesionalmente de Porter Wagoner, el hombre que había impulsado su carrera.

Como él se negaba a dejarla marchar, ella escribió una despedida y se la cantó.

Porter terminó llorando.

Tiempo después, Elvis Presley quiso grabarla. Para Dolly era un sueño, hasta que su representante le exigió entregar la mitad de los derechos de autor. Aunque necesitaba el dinero, se negó.

Aquella decisión cambió su vida.

En 1992, Kevin Costner eligió la canción para “The Bodyguard” y Whitney Houston la convirtió en un fenómeno mundial. Dolly escuchó la versión por primera vez mientras conducía y tuvo que detenerse: estaba tan emocionada que temió sufrir un accidente.

“Tomó mi pequeña canción y la convirtió en algo enorme”, recordaría después.

La versión le generó cerca de 10 millones de dólares en regalías. Dolly invirtió parte de ese dinero en un complejo de oficinas situado en un barrio históricamente afroamericano de Nashville.

Lo llamó «la casa que Whitney construyó».

Dolly escribió la canción. Whitney la hizo volar. Y entre las dos crearon una despedida que el mundo nunca pudo olvidar.

Ahora las dos nos han dejado, pero juntas hicieron que una canción de despedida se volviera eterna.

i listened to the “dolly parton’s america” podcast the summer after my first miscarriage when i was taking long walks to clear my head and grieve. it was such a comforting listen. this my first time seeing this quote and it just made me sob. i love this perspective

The doctor who delivered Dolly Parton in a one-room Tennessee cabin in 1946 was paid with a sack of cornmeal. Her father farmed other people's land and could not read or write. Eighty years later, the reading program she built in his name has mailed more than 300 million books.

She wrote "I Will Always Love You" on the same afternoon she wrote "Jolene," as a goodbye to Porter Wagoner, and released it in 1974. Elvis wanted it. The night before the session, Colonel Tom Parker called and said Presley would only record it if they got half the publishing, meaning half of everything the song ever earned. She had been in Nashville ten years by then. She said no, and cried all night. Whitney Houston cut her version in 1992, held number one for fourteen weeks, and Forbes later put Parton's royalties from it near $10 million. She put some of that money into an office complex in Nashville and called the place the house that Whitney built.

Dollywood opened in Pigeon Forge in 1986 because she wanted paychecks in the county she came from. Around 4,000 people work there now. Three million visitors come every year. The University of Tennessee put its economic impact at $1.8 billion, and it is the largest employer in Sevier County. Since 2022 the company has paid tuition, fees, and books in full for every worker from their first day, seasonal hires included.

Wildfires tore through those mountains in November 2016, killing fourteen people and destroying more than 2,400 buildings. Her foundation was handing out money within 48 hours. Every family that lost a home got $1,000 a month for six months, regardless of income. The final check was $5,000. Total delivered: $8.9 million.

In April 2020 she sent $1 million to Vanderbilt for coronavirus research. When Moderna's vaccine results ran in the New England Journal of Medicine that November, her fund appeared in the footnotes.

Carl Dean, her husband of nearly sixty years, died in March 2025. The note she wrote to fans afterward ended with the same five words she wrote for Porter Wagoner back in 1974. She died in Nashville today. Her family asked that instead of flowers, people give to the Imagination Library, which still mails 3.4 million books a month to children who will never get to meet her.

Dolly Parton was responsible for Jolene, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, AND the Moderna COVID vaccine.

So when I was in college I worked at a GameStop. Every time a kid who was under 17 tried to by GTA V we had to turn the box over, point to the ESRB rating box and tell the parents "all of this stuff is in the game, and it's in there A LOT. Are you okay with your kid seeing that stuff?" YOU as the parent are the age verification. Don't complain when you are shown warnings of sex and violence and then decide to let Junior play it anyway.

[g. @GeauxGabrielle]

A reminder that Dolly Parton is the reason we have the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

She hated the movie but believed the show could be amazing so she let them film on her sound studio. By season 2, it was a HIT and became one of the most iconic shows in HISTORY.

As a thank you, Buffy Summers and Dolly Parton share the same birthday.

January 19th.
