The fact that her children still look like children.

They’re not performing a perfectly curated celebrity family for the camera. They’re just existing together. Is really lovely ❤️

Three days took six legends, but decades of memories remain 🕊️

Between August 24 and 26, entertainment said goodbye to names whose work reached completely different generations.

Dolly Parton — A country music giant whose Jolene, 9 to 5, and I Will Always Love You became standards, while her philanthropy made her legacy much bigger than music.

Peter Cullen — For more than 40 years, his unmistakable voice gave Optimus Prime his strength, dignity and humanity. He was also beloved as Eeyore.

Tim Curry — Frank-N-Furter, Pennywise, Wadsworth, Nigel Thornberry and countless others. Few performers could be this funny, strange and terrifying across the same career.

Jaye P. Morgan — A successful singer who later became one of television’s most memorable personalities as a regular judge on The Gong Show.

Samuel Monroe Jr. — A familiar face from ’90s Black cinema through Menace II Society, Tales from the Hood, Set It Off and The Players Club.

Debbie “Storm” Clark — One of the unforgettable competitors who helped make American Gladiators larger than life for ’90s audiences.

A song. A voice. A character. A movie. A childhood memory.

That’s how people remain long after the dates beside their names stop changing.

Gone in the past three days, but permanently written into the things generations still love. ❤️

There will never be a more iconic entrance. Tim Curry, you will never be forgotten. 💔

We lost Three black and black adjacent (black people loved them) icons in the span of two weeks: Hayden Panettiere, Michael Wright aka Eddie Kane, and the Queen Dolly Parton. Im exhausted…

That time Dolly Parton rapped on The Queen Latifah Show in 2013

R.I.P. Dolly 🕊️

[Sassington, M.C. @MissSassbox]

Imagination Library has 40k followers, but should have MORE. If you can't donate in Dolly's honor, then we could at least help grow the platform and its visibility by following.

BREAKING:

The Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth after Charlie Kirk's killing. I fought back.

I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post.

They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately. ✊🏾

Dolly Parton passed away today. She was more than a legend. Her heart may have been her greatest legacy. The world is a little less bright today. Rest easy, Dolly.

January 19, 1946 - August 25, 2026, at age 80 💔🕊️
