Dolly Parton is indomitable, tough, strong and smart. “I'm not offended by dumb blonde jokes,“ she once said, “because I know that I'm not dumb. I also know I'm not blonde.” In fact, Dolly has an IQ of 145. Love these two legends. I cried when Johnny died, such a classy host and decent man. So glad Dolly is still with us. You go, Dolly!

Fast-forward to August 2023 and Dolly Parton is as true to herself as ever. I grew up not too far away from her hometown and I spent a lot of time in that area. Dolly's a wonderful humanitarian. In 2016 wildfires spread throughout Gatlinburg and the surrounding areas and it was a tragedy of immense proportions. It was I believe the first time anyone in the area had ever seen wildfires there. It affected homes , businesses and the flora and fauna terribly. Some didn't get out in time. Dolly jumped in off the bat and she put together a program that compensated the people who needed help monetarily. She's a "juggernaut" for good when people are in need. We'll always be proud of Dolly Parton. She's strong, smart, confident and honest. How many celebs can you say that about? 🧡

More so now than ever.

When working as the very first female banquet waitress for Chasen's in Beverly Hills, I had the awesome pleasure of meeting Dolly Parton and spending some time with her. The event was the 1981 Roast for Burt Reynolds. Sat at the table assigned to me was actress Loni Anderson and I was standing next to her when she was introduced to Burt Reynolds who came down from the head table specifically to meet her. After we waiters had served the food and the Roast had begun, we were banished to the kitchen. But soon after we entered the kitchen, Dolly Parton joined us. She asked us if she could hang out with us because she couldn't stand being with all the "stuffed shirts" at the event. Of course we said "yes" and we had the best time with her. Although I can't recall our exact conversation, only that she was hilarious and had us in stitches, I will always remember her friendliness and graciousness to us which was a far cry from how other "stars" treated us. Although the event female guests and the waitresses had to share the same restroom, our Chasen's boss, Ronnie, had warned us before the event not to speak to any of the guests unless spoken to first by them. However, as a famous "star" from a current TV show stood at the mirror reapplying her lipstick, we were shocked to hear her disgustedly say to another actress, "I can't believe we have to share a restroom with them!". As an actress myself hoping to one day work in film, I always wished I would get a chance to meet this well known actress on equal grounds so I could tell her how rude and hurtful her comment had been to us. Disappointedly I never got that chance but I will always remember the kindness and goodness of Dolly Parton. She made our night and we were even more impressed by her when a "bomb scare" was announced right before the end of the event and she expressed great concern for our safety. Although all the movie stars were able to evacuate the building, none of the wait staff were allowed to leave and we were told that we had to stay to do the cleaning up. Dolly was as horrified as we were to hear this and didn't want to abandon us but as she was soon ushered out by security, she had no other choice and we were left behind. Mercifully for us there was no bomb!

So talented and such a beautiful voice. You don't see many musicians/singers nowadays with the confidence to just break out a guitar and sing a song live without all the production tools

She wrote a lot of songs that were successful for herself and others. I was surprised by how humble she was.

I like Dolly but she doesn't look 22 at all. She looks 33, and that's completely fine.

I'm not the biggest country music fan, but always respected her talent and being so sharp and having such a wise perspective on the business and life in general, such a class act. and that little ditty she just threw out like it was nothing is better than most of the so-called country music you'll hear now on the radio.

It is no wonder why so many, including myself, adore Dolly, she is so courageous and honest and disciplined and has a real sense of humor about life and living a life.

She is just a ray of sunshine where ever she is.

Johnny Carson is someone who makes celebrities feel like normal people and breath the clean farm air. There's no doubt he was a friend to many of them.

A lucky kid from Nebraska and a lovely young lady from Tennessee chatting together. You can tell they both realize how lucky they were to be in the places in life at that time. It's such a great interview of celebrities who were still grounded. Wish we'd see more of this now.

There is NOTHING that can compare to the Tonight Show / Johnny Carson. Dolly Parton is a national treasure. No political crap, or nastiness, or agendas. Just respectful, genuine entertainment, or treating the audience like fools, or idiots. This segment, with the two of them, and their incomparable talents, priceless.

Dolly is so adorable and I love her laugh. what a sweetheart she is.

She filled it nicely.

I saw a video in which a person in another country encountered her in a small pub when she was traveling abroad and the small band asked her to sing a song. She gracefully accepted and did an impromptu performance which was near studio quality. That is the mark of true talent.

@tomconnolly9895

Ya I think the video you are talking about is the one where she is singing in a pub in Co. Kerry, Ireland.

Her looks were always just the icing on the cake. She's as talented as any great singer song writer and can light up anytime anywhere. Long live the Queen.

Every once in a while, I come back and listen to this, because this may be the best I have ever seen on the Johnny Carson show.

That lady is loved on every square inch of this planet. 100% legend.

She is so incredibly likable. I cry happy tears when she sings.

I wish today's "Celebs" can be half as gracious as our older Icons. That is something we will not see again. Real Role Models

Right but would her family be so musical if they grew up with the internet, tvs, streaming platforms.? They created their own entertainment, honing their skills from a young age and learning from their elders. There obviously was no lack of love in that house.

The song is great. Dolly is one in a hundred million. Universally adored and captivating.

Wow ... that was GREAT. So great to see them together at the apex of their careers. Johnny WAS "late night TV" ... no one will EVER be close to his talent. Dolly is just so down to earth & real. So glad I was able to see this moment on YT.

Dolly is one of my favorites. Johnny will never be replaced as late night again…he’s the original.

The song made me cry. Such a sweet and genuine human being.

She not only was a talented singer. She wrote some amazing songs.

Dolly is such a sweet happy person. Wonderful woman.
