Fun Facts About Dolly Parton
Episode description
Dolly Parton is a national treasure. Over the decades she has become a cultural icon celebrated as much for her boundless generosity as for her chart-topping music. Discover incredible true stories behind her career, including the monumental day in 1972 when she composed two of her most iconic and vastly different hits, "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You," in a single session. Learn about Dollywood, her Tennessee theme park that has become the state's largest ticketed attraction and a major employer for her home community. You'll also hear surprising facts, from the scientific tribute that led to the world's first cloned sheep being named "Dolly," to the fact that despite writing over 3,000 songs, she never learned to read standard sheet music.
