Dolly Parton on Getting Dirty | Blank on Blank

"Mama just always said, 'you be what you are and you don't have to worry about nothing'"
- Dolly Parton as told to Lawrence Grobel on March 13, 1978
Dolly Parton was not your typical model to appear on the cover of Playboy magazine. But that's just what Dolly did in 1978. She wouldn't take her clothes off, yet that issue still became one of Playboy's most popular issues of all time.
Inside that issue of Playboy was an amazing interview done by Lawrence Grobel. The recording of this interview has never been heard until now. Dolly was at the height of her stardom. She was in her early 30s. And what we loved hearing were her stories about growing up with 11 siblings in Tennessee. They slept four to the bed. The little ones often peed on her at night. In the summertime everybody bathed in the river. And Dolly was into tight clothes and makeup even as a little girl. It's quintessential Dolly. There is nobody in show business like her.
#DOLLYISMS
"I'm just pretty open and honest. There's not just a whole lot I won't tell you."
"My aunt had a toilet in the bathroom and we were so fascinated. We were afraid. I was afraid to use it. I just thought it was going to suck us right down."
"We made our own soap and in the summer time we'd go to the river ... That was like a big bath."
"The kids peed on me every night."
"I wore my skirts so tight I couldn't hardly wiggle in them. Even as a little bitty kid, even before I had a figure I liked my clothes snug and tight."

I'm a punk by nature and preferred musical stylings but good God I can't help having a crush on miss Dolly. She's so sweet, and as a New Zealander I think I finally understand the term "Southern charm". What a beauty

She also helped fund one of the main vaccines against covid through donations. She really has always been an American superstar/icon by being a genuinely good person and having such natural talent. So much of her work is for charity events and for small communities that it’s astounding like there aren’t many other musicians that genuinely continuously donate on such a level or perform purely for charity events. She wrote the song I will always love you made famous by Whitney Huston and kinda given to her as a song gift by Dolly Parton. She one of the only country artists that actually isn’t just another millionaire doing drugs and Hollywood shots but going to hospitals or charity tours working for st.judes etc. she’s always tried to act like a saint, sing like an Angel, and dress like Dolly Parton and anyone in her way be damned, she’s punk considering her overall positivity compaired to social expectations and her perfected style of presenting ‘Dolled up’. She’s never been in any scandals or legal troubles because she’s always just been a positive fantastic person. even if she isn’t punk she’ll give you a wink call you baby and sing you a song and raise millions of dollars to cancer research while in a 30 pound wig a leather jacket and some fantastic heels and loud acrylic nail that you bet your ass she’ll sample in her music (9-5 the backboard click clack is women’s painted fingernails)
Her giggle makes me so happy.

...watching this validates *why* I have always loved *Dolly Parton*
Her voice made me so happy and calm I teared up at the end.
Dolly is just... fun. Like, how many musicians can I genuinely say that about? Everything about her, from her personality to the way she speaks to her music to the way she dresses is just genuinely delightful.
What a QUEEN. I hope she lives forever
this is what life was like visiting my great-grandmother's place as a kid...and I just turned 25 last month lol Love Dolly & her stories :)
She is the cutest thing ever. I have been a fan for awhile, and this just made me love her more.
dolly parton is a national icon... she is such a bubbly lovely person that is genuine awesome
The animations in these videos make the interviews even better. Great stuff.
Thanks Jim for finding this, not that I could possibly love her anymore than I already do.
These interviews are great. You should really do some film directors. Directors like Woody Allen or David Lynch who have a really great unique voice would make a great animated interview.
So love that this is captioned, and captioned well. Thank you!

man that pic at the end was 🔥🔥🔥😻 ,i bet everytime she made love her man(men) hit it like no tomorrow and ik that seems rude and vulgar but i honestly don't mean it that way,i mean with her personality most guys would feel romantically towards her, and her looks are sexually attractive...so..i would n have to the women I've loved, especially when they were dolled up.Don't think they don't like it too bc we're all human..it's natural, I'm just blunt enough to describe it the way EVERYONE talks behind closed doors
One of the reasons I have always loved Dolly is bec she was always real about whatever she had to say. She is one of the whitest white women on the planet and had great privilege but she never let it make her inhuman. She always cared about all people, not just her own race but all races. She is a real person with a great heart and a great soul. Will always love her.

Ah Dolly. Dolly Dolly 💜 Probably one of the the very few living actresses and singers I'd love to meet in real life, have lunch with and give her a big hug. She is such a sweet and pure person at the same time very sexy and funny! 😂 She's so adorable.
What a lovely woman she is!
Always a sweet person:)
I am not a country fan, like at all. I don’t like the genre, but Dolly, she’s alright in my book. She is a Country singer who isn’t all about tractors and farming and stuff, no she is a singer that sings from her heart and not what’s around her, which makes her pretty damn special.
The odds that you will like this are 9 to 5 ?
Love the women!

The ugliest people are the people who are mean on the inside. Dolly is beautiful inside out.
Little Girl Dolly is blonde, but Dolly of course is a natural brunette.
Dolly is a true feminist: she passed barriers of poverty and gender. But the amazing thing is she did this while still being feminine and fun. She’s amazing.

Holy f, her mannuerism/accent is so hard to understand, coming from a non-stop English speaker. Glad I have subtitles.
What a wonderful person she is! But why is the audio so horrible? He’s off mike and she’s In an echo chamber. And Laurence has interviewed her dozens of times! Yikes! Would you not make sure audio was perfect if you spoke to someone as amazing as Miss Parton?! How many times would you have to record your interviews before realizing the audio is for crap? Unfortunate. Wasted opportunity.
I thoughts she meant a different kind of dirty...

I don't understand why the kids pee on her every night? I guess they didn't have a toilet in the house but still it's weird that someone would pee every night in their sleep.
