Dolly Parton interview, Ireland 2002
Ойын-сауық
Dolly Parton on her humble beginnings, her distinctive image and the secret to a successful marriage.
Country and bluegrass singer Dolly Parton tells Pat Kenny about growing up on a farm in Locust Ridge, Tennessee, in a family of six girls and six boys.
We were dirt poor, but most people back there were poor.
As her family were deeply religious, her grandfather was a Pentecostal preacher, the young Dolly was not encouraged to wear makeup, dye her hair or wear tight clothing. But when she reached 15 years of age and had some money of her own, Dolly could afford to change her look, opting for a country girl’s idea of glamour.
Hopefully people know that I’m totally real, I just look totally artificial.
She is open about having plastic surgery and feels it is her responsibility to maintain her looks.
If I see something dragging, sagging and bagging, I just go fix it.
While a number of her siblings are also talented singers and songwriters, Dolly believes it is her outgoing personality that lead her to get where she is today.
Determined to be a star, the day after Dolly graduated from high school in 1964, she caught a bus to Nashville, Tennessee. It was here she met her husband Carl Thomas Dean. After a two year courtship the couple married in 1966 and have been together ever since. She reveals her secret to a long and successful marriage.
This episode of ‘The Late Late Show’ was broadcast on 4 October 2002.

Master at navigating both good and bad interviews. She is a lot sharper then people give her credit for.
Either way she is beautiful. And can sure sing.
Southerns have such good humor and way of thinking. Love them.

She's so wonderful. A beautiful soul and wholesome in her vanity. Gotta love Dolly!!!
I just love Dolly. She is what you see and that is the real her. No filters, just real!
Such a way with words as a true southerner should be.

Maybe felt bad for Dolly being asked about the surgery, so randomly? I mean, “This is a delicate question… have you had any work done,” is a bit of a cringeworthy question, that most celebs wouldn’t take kindly to, but clearly Dolly’s honest and not a delusional liar like most celebrities. She was raised right! Ha. The obvious celebs, who deny their surgery, are thinking they have us fooled. But Dolly has said many times that the joke is on the public, cause she’s aware of her image, and how she created “Dolly” after being inspired by the town “trollop” as a kid.. and anyone thinking she’s a dumb blonde or whatever has clearly never heard the woman speak a word. Another thing, this interview, despite cutting out early, was largely comprised of questions she’s been asked in EVERY other interview she’s ever done. She just tends to alternate the answers she provides. She was quite reserved with her humor in this one! 🤣
A grown man asking a rather teenage question regarding her bosom: why?

Interviewer - "Oi shamrock and blarney ye never git me lucky charms bonnie lass" Dolly - "Well i grew up in Tennessee"
@0:55 no one laughed in her reference from that Baptist hymn because they're Catholics I guess?

right?!?!! didn't ask her about her song writing, or how she deals with finding the right mixers and producers and whatever. ugh. typical with female pop stars, they treat them like surface and want to hear the scandalous stuff.
As much as he'd love to.... poor aul' pat doesn't know how to get his point across. Still see the Catholic church influence. God forbid he uttered the word breasts

Such a lovely lady, and handled that absolute creap with grace. He spent the first 4 minutes or so questioning her on her physique & appearance, disgraceful. Terrible interview, great guest.

I don’t think it was creepy, she was comfortable, but I also don’t think he went into the questions very gracefully. And yet, go watch any other interview with Dolly-they’re ALL likely comprised of these questions. Even to this day, she’s 77 in 2023, and both male and female reporters are asking her all these same dumb questions. Surgery, breasts, makeup, earthquakes and fires. Maybe they’ll discuss or get into the music at SOME point, but even now, it’s all these same questions. The town tramp inspired her style, her big family, her husband she met at the laundromat, never seeing him cause she’s traveling so much, married 35 years but together for about 3 of those years, etc. All the questions she’s heard before, so you’d think the media would try to be more creative or fun with it, if they’re all gonna repeat themselves. It must be exhausting answering the same crap, that’s the real burden of showbiz.
Ugh this interviewer is cringeworthy. This would have never been asked of a man.
