Interviews should push limits. If they don't at least probe for some sort of interesting thing or bit of insight, why would you bother watching it? That said, the interview was very much patronizing and the interviewer clearly doesn't respect Dolly at all when this interview takes place and that's seen clearly in the questions. Would I change it? Nope. Because the interviewer reflected the criticisms of a wide swath of "society" types in 1977 who all thought they were better than her. It's no different than today listening to the coastal, self-appointed "elites" talking about fly-over country. It's just as derisive, arrogant, and dismissive. Those of us subject to that socially-acceptable scorn should be able to defend ourselves and respond to the critics. Dolly did that with class. She always has been a very genuine, loving woman and an admirable human being.

Texan accents sound different than those in Florida, and Tennessee has yet another variation on the accent. It’s fun to learn about these differences by talking to Southerners from different parts of the South.

She surely had to tuck some of Dolly's wisdom and intelligence into her pocket and carried it with her for her own rainy days. Ms. Walters disappointed me greatly here. Some jealousy maybe? Because she certainly couldn't touch, with a very very very long pole, Dolly's talent - or grace. Do you know how few people are recognized by their first names only? They couldn't have paid me enough money to be this rude and thoughtless.

She was known for asking questions that NO ONE else would. People knew this going into an interview with her. I knew this as a child and I’m 51. At some point, my mother told me this about her waaayyyy back. No one was offended by her questions and Dolly Parton is damn near her same age/generation.
