Do you know the history behind Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You'? It sure has a lot to do with Dolly! Check it out:

Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You?? All respect to Whitney Houston. She was awesome but that's not her song
Thats Dolly's song not Whitneys...and Dolly sang it way better.
Lol well considering she sang it 20 years after her I would sure hope so! 🧡
Dolly wrote it, it's not "Whitney's" at all. How disrespectful.
She wrote it .
Probably the rudest interview I’ve ever seen. Respect to Dolly for answering every insult with integrity .
guess you haven’t seen the diane soyer and Britney interview
You haven’t seen much of Walters, have you. It’s all exactly like this..
Agreed; she also treated a young Brooke Sheilds horrible.
I rather real interviews like this where we get to know the person than the fluff, “nicey” stuff now. Just because someone asks you a question doesn’t mean you have to answer. Now it’s, “Tell me the story when you almost burned rice trying to cook,” “How was working with this director?” And we get phony replies.
You guys are either very young or just a bunch of thin-skinned babies, whining about how "mean" Barbara Walters was. It's journalism, for fuck's sake.
*"I'm very real where it counts, and that's inside."* What a queen. Tell 'em.
reminded me of her song Backwoods Barbie where she sings "I might look artificial, but where it counts I'm real"
THE QUEEN
💯💯💯❤️
@@geodez2959 she brings out my Tennessee roots.
Plastic ppl love to say this, but it's not true. They are as fake on the inside as they are on the outside. Probably moreso.
I have so much respect for her. She made Barbara Walters look so tacky without wrinkling an eyebrow.
She was simply beautiful in this interview.
People had been calling Dolly trashy and dumb for years, yet, she, in reality, is the classiest one of them all.
If you need that many commas. Just remove the words, that’s absurd
100%
@@SweatySheets they used 3. And they were used properly.
@@Just.Arguing I don't think that's what I said
@@SweatySheets what you originally said makes no sense if the sentence works just fine. Why are you so grumpy?
If Walter’s was trying to make her look bad, she only brought out how intelligent, respectable, and charismatic Dolly is.
For all we know, that might have been the goal. I'm not so sure I'd believe her if Walter's claimed it herself.
Exactly. She is way out of line. These questions are disgusting.
@@NikiMcNally that was the world then, but just as they could ask anything, she could say anything back and she did. We've lost that freedom as people evidently.
@@rubiitoxic you still have the freedom, however now people are more considerate of how words effect people.
@ron webber I don’t think basic manners and respect is disgusting but to each their own ig
“Are you a hillbilly?”
“If you had called me that, I would’ve kicked your shins.”
Ok Barbara, that’s your cue. To stop. Whatever this is
But Barbara just kept coming like a lemming going over a cliff. 😂😂😂
@@januarysson5633 it's like she actually couldn't stop herself. Surely she could have gone off script and asked some normal questions rather than double down on this idiocy
Lmao
Stupid is as stupid does.
stop her whole personality all at once? not likely.
I thought Dolly was a joke growing up. Now i think she is one of the most amazing people of our lifetime.
Wow, I never thought of HER as a joke. I heard jokes about her bust but didn't know that people thought she was a joke. Interesting. Sad.
Glad you are educated on her now
A joke in what way?
She was someone that a lot of people made fun of, including my age group, and I think it stemmed from disrespect for her being a successful woman. I’m so glad that she never let it get her down. She’s an icon.
@@lcam9241A lot of successful women in show biz were disrespected and turned into the butt of jokes in the 70’s - Dolly Parton, Cher, Betty White, Donna Summer, Farrah Faucet. They were all brilliant artists and they got so much disrespect! It’s what happened to successful women back then. I’m thankful to each one of them, and countless others, for paving the way for the younger generations.
She handled this interview with a lot of class, maturity, and humbleness.
Humility*
Dolly running circles around Barbara while she’s sitting. Dolly is top shelf.
say it louder! barbra cant hear her head is up her butt
Dolly is an icon
She doesn't look ridiculous at all and why did she keep trying to throw the whole wig thing in her face
@@jaislim5717 it's because she is trying to yank a reaction out of Dolly she can use against her
@@jaislim5717 By the standards of the time, Dolly did look ridiculous. At the time, people reacted to her like how people reacted to Lady Gaga when she first came onto the scene. Dolly's very pretty, don't get me wrong, but you can't change the fact that that's what people thought about her. When considering an event set in a past time period, you have to analyse things from how they were. Viewing things with a modern lens will cause incorrect interpretation
Dolly: "A lot of the people I know are not educated, but they are intelligent." Words of gold.
Horse sense. :)

exactly! Academics is not the only type of intelligence.

“The joke’s on the public; I know what I’m doing” I love this woman! 😩😍 That’s right Dolly! You betta preach!!
I love when she describes how secure she is in herself.
The way she talks with her accent and low tone it’s so peaceful
Like laying on a beach listening to the waves
Ikr
Southern drawl pouring out like molasses….
Barbra waa waa. You can thank her or blame her for making ABC what it is today.
I love her 😍 shes such a beautiful person inside and out
- “I’m not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes, because I know I’m not dumb… and I’m not blonde either.”
- “It costs a lot of money to look this cheap”.
If she hadn’t been a singer, she’d have made a fine stand-up comedian. Love Dolly.
I’m both dumb and blonde and feel very offended by this. lol
I feel like her comedic side is so overlooked. shes absolutely hilarious
I am 1000.
And all hail the Queen.
She is and always has been a class act. Have loved her ever since I saw her in the 9 to 5 movie as a kid in the 80’s. ( Aussie here )
She was as sharp as a razor!
“I wouldn’t stoop so low as to be fashionable” she’s always been doing her own thing and we r HERE for it ❤️❤️❤️
Ms. Parton is absolute southern class, beauty, and spirit!
THIS is what turning the other cheek means. She isn't being passive, she is retaining a frame of decency and composure...and then watches as the other woman trying to bait her ends up being the one who looks like an ass.
They baited people then, they're baiting people now...it's shocking how little changes.
@@longWriter Difference today is, too many take the bait. :/
And it’s on a global scale, that includes the common folk.
Sad...
@@sonneversets3530 it seems to me the world has always been that way, more people are quick to anger than to hold restrain, whether you are a celebrity or not.
I feel like she was not just answering to Walters but was addressing all her critics. She seemed to me to be sharing her secrets to happiness
@@strawbawrri249 Yes people have always been ‘baited’ by those w/ill intent. And there’s always been people who have taken the bait.
Society is very different now, however. Unacceptable behavior is much more tolerated & a new ‘normal’ is being rammed down everyone’s throats. Kids have been Indoctrinated for decades in schools. It’s just much more blatant & heavy duty now, b/c their parents were also Indoctrinated, but on a lesser scale. It’s been a steady escalation over time. As all brainwashing & mind control is.
The way the world is today.... Globally .... There are many more w/ill intent, to take people down.
My comment was referring to a global scale, w/o actually stating it.
Taking the masses down by any means the Evildoers can, is the plan. So they can take over w/total control.
Control by FEAR has been the agenda on a global scale for going on 2 yrs now. And it’s obviously not stopping. Can’t let anyone get comfortable thinking things are evening out, or going to be ‘OK’. This is ‘on’, full throttle now. No turning back.
The 24/7/365 propaganda & narratives are covering _every area_ now. And millions that are ‘group thinking’, over independent critical thinking, have fallen for it all. Doesn’t matter education level. This reaches beyond that. Obviously.
*We are living in very dangerous times. This is all Biblical Prophecy more rapidly coming to fruition.* Just as we were told it would.
*People need to seek & get right w/Jesus. No One else is going to save anyone from themselves, or the extreme evils, yet to come.* And believe me, they’re well on their way. Things are going to keep getting very ugly. Worldwide.

“You don’t have to look like this” is an outrageously rude and disrespectful thing to say especially during an interview
Barbara Walters doesn't have to put on a contrived middle Atlantic accent either.
It's also appallingly stupid
ESPECIALLY when she already said she’s beautiful AND for some reason doesn’t understand she’s talking to an accomplished star ⭐️ at this point 🤔
Barbara has always been an idiot like this, and was only good for gotcha journalism and the fact she was allowed to keep it up for like 967 years is a testament to how well the machine works and churns and how ignorant and dumb af we are as people
@@RobertJones-pj2jk I wish Dolly had said, "you don't have to look like crap, either, but you always seem to do it."
This from someone who asked another interviewee “If you were a tree, what tree would you be?”. 😂😂😂
"Where I come from"
Pretentious from the jump. Dolly was the higher class individual here.
Right? Who would begin a conversation with that and not hear themselves as utter upper class scum? Shameful behaviour for anyone but probably not shameful for an elitist puke.
Such a classy woman. And she is quietly generous. She has given away millions of books!
I've NEVER seen a celebrity handle horrible, disrespectful questions like this with such grace!!!
But this is what many city people, especially those from the Northeast, think of people who live in rural areas. I've lived in big cities and the middle of nowhere and I'll take country people over city people every day and twice on Sunday.
@@toucansam3 amen to that!
They don't make em like they use to
I would have decked her! Dolly, how do you do it ?🙌👍
Between two ferns and norm macdonald show had some extremely disrespectful and horrible questions. To a sitting president, for the former.
This is what slow to anger and abounding in love looks like. Not quickly offended, extending grace, being wise and honest but not allowing herself to be walked over. This is actual class.
Best comment!
Amen. ⚘
Absolutely! Star class.
Say it again.
Slow to anger and not sticking up for yourself is 2 different things, this interviewer was out to lunch and seems that she didn’t like her from the start
Dolly is the best at putting people in their place. She is such a talented person.
Hello Linda
How are you doing today?
I have always loved her confidence and class. Barbara tried to insult Dolly, but she just maintained her composure.
She’s turning everything into positivity and empowerment. Barbara is completely disarmed by this approach. Dolly is strong and secure. She’s always radiated that feminine power!
Wow. This is what the REAL Feminine power looks like.
Amen to THAT Rocky Rhodes
This was a horrible interview! Barbara is being SUPER judgemental, catty and downright RUDE!!!! Dolly handled the BS Barbara was slinging with class and positivity!!
This was a horrible interview! Barbara is being SUPER judgemental, catty and downright RUDE!!!! Dolly handled the BS Barbara was slinging with class and positivity!!
The way Dolly handled that made me instantly attracted to her. Dignity and grace like that makes a woman SO damn sexy.
This is what jealousy looks like on national tv.
Oh, man... I was thinking just that very same thing. Seemed like Walters tried her level best to embarrass Dolly. From how she worded the questions about where she comes from, to where she is now, & her appearance (of all things) thru it all. Topping the rest of it off w/... are your tits real?
Walters might have spoken softly, but that sure didn't remove a nary bit of venom from her words.
Would she have asked George Jones stupid ass questions like those? I highly doubt it. & yes... it smacks of jealousy.
(& honestly, Barbara Walters SHOULD BE jealous of Dolly. She has everything Barbara has plus integrity, compassion, wisdom & beauty just to name a few.)
@@tiffanydelvalle9291 And this is what stupidity and sexist looks like on the internet.
Seriously 😒
Fr, one insecure woman trying to tear down another.
Yep ..i bet every single person here would rather be with Dolly over barbara anyday of the week
Wow. I am not a country musoc listener but she has handled this interview with a lot of grace.
Nothing but respect for Dolly. She has been a class act forever.
LOVE how she said "I can afford to piddle around and doo-diddle around with make ups and clothes and stuff because I am secure with myself"
I agree with that statement. But, was she though? Considering how much she altered her face/body with plastic surgery?
@@eEmm1 does putting makeup on make you insecure about your face? does wearing high heels make you insecure about your height? does cutting your hair make you insecure about your hair? does wearing push up bras make you insecure about your boob size? No, not necessarily. Plastic surgery is the same thing. Yes a lot of people get plastic surgery because they’re insecure about something, but that’s not the case for everyone. You can be secure in yourself and get plastic surgery too. They’re not mutually exclusive.
@@fruitellabong unless you're a performance artist (with the exception of plastic surgery) yes. yes and yes. That's obviously exactly what it is. The hair one doesn't make sense and is kinda ridiculous but to the other points, yes. All those things you mentioned imply insecurity, no doubt.
@@carpetbeetle8349 if you cave into that pressure it means you're not exactly secure within yourself by default.
@@eEmm1 Plastic surgery has never once been all around encouraged by society. EVERYONE knows that if you get plastic surgery, you will be judged for it. I'd love if you could tell me how she did because she was insecure in herself.
Barbara Walters is so patronising and doesn't listen to the people she's interviewing. She's actually quite crass in this. Dolly on the other hand is a masterclass of grace and authenticity.
It's a choice not to be frumpy
Barbara is just asking what a lot of people are thinking. I don't find interviewers who keep asking the same safe questions to be interesting. With that said, I admire Dolly and people who intelligently and patiently respond to questions without being defensive or maintain their professionalism with tough questions. This applies to both entertainers and people in politics.
"I would never stoop so low to be fashionable. That's the easiest thing in the world to do." Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton has more grace in her little finger than Baba Walters has shown in her entire life.
Amen!! At the end it's like I feel bad for Barbara because she had an agenda and Dolly basically looked down winked at her and pinched her cheek. Dolly didn't need to say anything but everything she said here was so ABOVE any kind of fuse Barbara was trying to light. Almost as if to say look at how cute you are trying to get me to say something inappropriate. The boob questions, were just plain rude! Finally Dolly addressed it with "my figure" which was so amazingly classy. That was what has always blown me away about Dolly Parton. She was always soooo classy as to never invite any rude questions and has always been absolutely gorgeous and adorably cute. Then you hear her sing and my god it's like what I'd imagine angels sing like. And she can talk into singing better than anyone I've ever heard.
BABA WAWA does not know anything about music, and she does not care about music, and she certainly does not know anything about country & western music. The only interview that I've seen that is worse than BABA WAWA's interview of Dolly Parton, is when David Letterman interviewed Grace Slick (of Jefferson Airplane). In this interview, David Letterman trashes Grace Slick, and he puts her down, and he trashes her again. How sad.
This interview says so much about Dolly than how low Walters could go...
Dolly is a wonderful person. Sheer grace and beauty.
I love how she is asking Dolly about class and being a hillbilly While Walters is showing her total lack of class.
EXACTLY!
@David Wang You've made it clear what you value. Sorry to break it to you, but neither her fame, fortune, career accomplishments nor the status or caliber of anyone she ever interviewed make Barbra Walters any less rude, patronizing, condescending and "CLASSLESS".
David Wang got hims feelers hurt..stalk babbawhawha much?
I wish I met more "hillbillies" (jibaros in Spanish), so unpretentious
I could never stand Barbara, she's the joke.
I like the way Dolly stuck up for her people and for her cultural roots. She has always had so much class.
It's an actual display of heritage not hate
Unlike most white people today who immediately surrender lmao. I want your people to stand up against todays people
Culture.. sure
@@OsceolaNola7 explain why it isn’t culture
Dolly has no class… that is the fakest human on this planet, and not one person can name a song other than Jolene, or name one good thing she has done for humanity with all her money…
I've always appreciated Dolly's forthright character, she's just so genuine.
This has become my favorite barbara w. interview. Thank you, Mrs. Dolly for grace,class and talent.
“You don’t have to look like this” “I would never stoop so low as to be fashionable” I love her so much!!!!! She makes Barbara look like a total troll and I’m here for it!
Barbara makes herself look like a total troll lol.
If you notice in the west questions are always asked from a negative perspective.
I can't imagine what Dolly had to go through in those days where sexual harassment wasn't a thing.
Strong woman>>>
@@Jove3321 it’s always been a “thing” unfortunately. my mother, born in the 50s, as well as her sisters often share my feelings about the topic. my mom was harassed throughout her childhood through her 20s. many women born in the same time period commiserate. i just think less people talked about it, if that makes sense! but yes i agree Dolly is so strong and confident. i admire that
@@Elena-bk4fs i think they mean it wasn’t recognized as a real issue. i agree the wording was flawed
Then I'll steal these words .. "I think they meant it wasn't recognized" *Yes!*
Some of us men have evolved - and really love women.♡
"Do you ever feel that you're a joke?"
What a poisonous, awful woman...
I've noticed that a lot of interviews back in the day, especially when led by women, were pretty vile. It's like the female interviewer tries so hard to distance herself from the interviewee in a hateful way. Look at some old Britney Spears interviews. I'm glad that the world has changed a little in the way women now support each other.
...and the way she said it, too.
@@Footswalker1977 Unless you are watching the View. I haven't watched it much but what I have seen, led me to the conclusion that Barbara Walters just doesn't have the intellect to interview most of her guests. She can't compete intellectually so she tries to demean people and expose their worst traits. Absolutely horrible person and interviewer. Gilda Radner's Baba Wawa character was far more intelligent than Walters is and ever will be.
The joke is on lonely toxic feminists like her, who rot alone with their cats.
Dolly is the person displaying feminism here.
This woman is a national treasure and should be honored!
I don't particular care for Country Music but NOBODY can question that talent and artistry of this amazing person.
Long live the Queen of Country Music!
I've watched this several times before.It's always a joy to see Dolly's class and intelligence ❤
It’s so gross how Barbara calls her “darling” right before asking these classist, elitist, invasive, bs questions
She didn’t call her darling, she said “Dolly,…”
I grew up in the same area Dolly did
She is entirely a product of her upbringing and dead on the money for the type of people we are.
in large part we are Appalachian.
We are a simultaneously proud but humble people, kind as you will ever see but wary, and stubborn as we are determined. Very rich tradition and culture that is distinct from the bulk of American culture.
Sign of the times, but still irritating to watch.
Today Barbara Walters would have been canceled,very condescending towards Dolly
Sure, she should call her “yo bi…ch” instead.
It’s gross how people with hearing problems get offended over stuff they misheard. She called he “Dolly”
Darling is patronising only if you are so insecure to let yourself be patronised. Otherwise is a bit silly but cute.
The fact that she thinks she looks ridiculous is crazy to me… she looks stunning… and that wit and charm is top tier
It was ridiculous at the time for the genre. It's like looking at a Rodney Dangerfield stand up routine and saying "I don't see what was so groundbreaking". Yeah, because you've seen all the people he's influenced, so his innovation is now foundation. The same can be said of Dolly.
Barbara is just jealous.
Barbara was being an awful snob.
maybe for the time it was. like imagine someone 20 years from now seeing a nikki minaj or ice spice interview 😂
@@digimon916oh hell nah 😭💀
Dolly is BEAUTIFUL inside and out!!! You GO GIRL!!!
Dolly Parton has always seemed like such an honest sweet soul, and she’s an amazing songwriter!
it is remarkable how perfectly she enunciated those perfect answers. she’s a sharp one
Dolly is an OG Baddie
Being sharp is the one thing you can't learn in school, it's learned from the people around you
She said it herself; where she comes from people are intelligent.
Calling dolly sharp. Yes...yes she is its why we love her.
My thoughts exactly. She responded perfectly to ever question, even the tougher ones. She inspires me so much
Dolly is such a lady even when people are blatantly disrespectful.
Yep , there will never be another Dolly , she knew how to handle the phonies and she knew the entire industry was phony , and so (as she said) she loves a good joke , and that's how she played all those stuffy elitists like a fiddle and made a fortune doing it , and she was extremely talented in music and business
@@shure46 very well said. :)
I was today years old when I discovered Dolly Parton is my spirit animal.
“i would never stoop so low as to be fashionable, that’s the easiest thing to do.” dolly is genuine, kind, wise, and loving.
She’s the perfect example of quiet confidence
I love that ❤
💜😌💎🙏🙌
They were both absolute smoke shows back in the day I had no idea
From Kenya when I was 17 in 1995 she still delighted me. Until this day American COUNTRY MUSIC MAGIC is Queen Dolly and Kenny and everyone in between. Culturally, it is just us enjoying pure magic
@@jaiadser310 I’ve always hated Barbara Walters. Still do now that she’s in the ground.
She’s so intelligent and composed. She outshines the interviewer.
@David Wang Is she related to you or a close friend? You are going hard in the comment section responding to every negative comment. It’s not that serious it’s just opinions.
Dolly wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She got where she is through her own hard work, inner faith and brilliance. She absolutely outshines the interviewer.
@David Wang Absolutely nothing you list here changes the fact that in the interview above Walters lacked class and respect. I don’t care how much someone achieves by being rude, there are a ton of people in the business who made it far by being disrespectful. If you need to degrade others to “make them shine” something’s wrong. This interview was a mess, and the only professional person here is Dolly.
@@T97Frida - Well put.
The interviewer? That's Barbara Walters, one of the biggest asses in national mess.
Dolly always has been and always will be a national treasure. Can't help but love her.
I love Dolly. she’s so classic, I wish I could be like her
Dolly is nobody’s fool. She’s an astute business woman and she’s her own person. She has FU money and can do whatever she pleases.
Amen!
nobody deserves the FU part like Baba Wawa.
And that makes her a good person?
@@hufsa7197 no. The way she conducts her self around others makes her a good person.
Having fu money and doing whatever she pleases has just been a fringe benefit.
@@hufsa7197 I read that comment 5 times trying to see where it was said that having money makes her a good person. Can you please repeat the exact phrase used to say that? If not, you're just putting words in people's mouths.
Barbara’s legacy is gonna be “lady who thought being mean was journalism”
...and that speech impediment Gilda Radner got so many laughs from.
@BegoneJonah 😂😂😂😂😂BahBah WahWah, thanks for bringing that up!!! I miss Gilda! She was a hilarious hoot!!!
This is so true! "Hard-hitting journalism"? Nah, more like being an asshole to perpetuate the idea that celebs aren't real people with real feelings.
But to be fair, she worked inside such a misogynist landscape... As Dolly said, she is very sure about who she is. When you don't have that, it is incredibly hard to be a nice female reporter/journalist when you have all the misogyny around you.
@@ThatWeirdFinn Right. I just wish women could at least trust one another to support women instead of throwing them under the bus to gain men’s respect. I also just in general think if we stopped putting celebs on pedestals we wouldn’t get jealous and search for reasons to knock them down.
Dolly Parton is a world class sweetheart. She seems like a person who can talk to anyone and brighten their day. She truly exemplifies the best in southern charm. Never seen anyone as poised as she is. Dolly is a star forever.
3:25 "The man gives me freedom."
"The why get married?"
What a damming indictment of Walter's perspective of marriage. No wonder she went through four separations while Dolly & Carl are still going strong six decades later.
This woman was doing nothing but try and fill Dolly with insecurities yet Dolly just sat there, smiled, and spoke honestly. Dolly is beautiful inside & out and I just absolutely adore her ❤️
It’s disgusting watching Barbara try to take down another woman like that. I bet she would NOT be happy had a man or anyone else treat her the same way.
@@jesssadeee Even worse is that she was considered a 'great interviewer' - despite nobody really seeing any evidence of it. And what did she do with her reputation? Foisted one of the worst daytime shows in TV history on us... as well as several knockoffs.
Dolly Parton is an ICON for a reason. In this interview she shows she is unflappable. I wish I had an ounce of her poise. She’s a class act through and through, and talented on a level all her own. 💛NATIONAL TREASURE💛
I love Dolly ❤ I have such respect for her
Shame on Barbara Walters. Does she like it when people make fun of her lisp?
Dolly is still with her husband to this day. The way she still lights up when talking about him. That's true love.

I love Dolly’s personality and humble spirit.
What a lovely woman. And look how she handled the sbobs questions, beautiful in and out.
I’ve seen people be rude to her, but this is the worst! She’s a treasure. She has stood the test of time, remained humble, generous, inspirational, and beautiful!
And not to mention that absolutely adorable accent. It just sounds so charming and endearing to me, I found myself being in a complete awe and smiling while listening to her talk! Is that American southern accent by any chance?
@@Li_Tobler it sure is!
I agree - southern accents are charming. Dolly’s accent differs from Southerners living in other parts of the southern US. For example, the southern accent my family from Georgia has is different from from hers in some noticeable ways if one listens. 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.
Barbara Walters always irritated me because I always thought she was rude! This video is a great example of her rudeness. Dolly looks beautiful here!
Don’t like country music at all but she’s amazing
Interviews are disturbingly intrusive
You could tell Dolly was uncomfortable at some points but she handled it like a queen
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.
Why? Because it wasn't a pink bubble bath for Dolly?
@@kma3647 As an Oregonian who grew up in Tennessee, I completely agree with you in all regards. It's really sad how lacking in empathy a lot of people are. I've experienced a lot less bigotry here, but at the same time, I feel there's a lot less love for one's neighbors here, too.
They are, but that's what gets viewers like you and me. TV is intrusive. Don't watch it.
Because she is one.
It really gets some people’s goat to see someone else happily living some way they wouldn’t.
She was a blazing beauty ❤
My friends, we just witnessed a master class in how a classy southern lady can disarm even the most vile passive-aggressive attacks. Dolly is a national treasure.
I’m taking notes because I can be so aggressive sometimes. Love this.
A modern woman would've just gotten really passive aggressive or screamed or something. This interview is a perfect example of a woman who knows who she is, and is classy. Throwing temper tantrums doesn't make you "strong:
@Get 2 That is just not true. It's what you want to be true. It also lacks the grace Dolly herself is being praised for. Btw, it came out some people thought Betty White was mean. So how about we stop this thing women get saddled with, that we are either impossibly perfect saints or downright evil witches. Nothing (normal human) in between.
@@jonbaker476

Barbara is a lonely old leftist troll
@@queenbutterfly4888 you do realise Dolly Parton is a leftist right? She's openly vocal about her support for LGBT individuals and actively funded Covid-19 vaccines.

She's center left for sure but she's still a more leftist than Biden.

@@queenbutterfly4888 Dolly is an actual leftist, yr confusing corporate left and actual progressives.
Dolly handling it with class while Barbara trying to create ratings. Some things never change.
OMG. Dolly is so amazing and she looks so beautiful! I just absolutely love her.
I need her calmness when talking to people who judge me 😭
I believe you can do it. Fuck the haters.
Me too, im an asshole 😂
Kick them in the shins!
Dolly was such a genuine and sweet person then and STILL the same beautiful person today! Something sooooo rare in Hollywood! She’s a REAL one😎✊😍😍😍❤️
LOL FACTS😂
Her self-awareness was so advanced during this time. She is an excellent role model for all women. Calm, cool, collected, and a total sweetheart.
She's an excellent role model for all of us.
i love her but i’m gonna be a bitch
I don't think being all that applies to all circumstances, but in, this onea professional one, she is a role model for everyone to follow, i wish more man where this smart at answering some of the questions
She’s all of those things AND she doesn’t let people walk all over her. That balancing of kindness and strength, humility and confidence, is everything. She shows us how to be soft and sweet while not giving an inch on your boundaries.
So advanced for this time? No sweetheart women and men have been backsliding for a long time. Your view is in reverse
Dolly is a beautiful, talented genius. She has written many songs, as acted and is intelligent in interviews. God bless her 😊
Dolly is one of my idols, she is in a class of her own!!! Legend xxx
And THIS is why Dolly is queen. Barbara is just a massive nasty poking troll, and Dolly handles her with amazing grace and PATIENCE.
"Barbara, where I come from, would I have called you a hack? When I think of hacks, am I thinking of your kind of people?"
Dolly radiates love.
Barbara isn't necessarily a nasty troll. People can be indoctrinated. A woman can fall victim to sexism -- even if it's against their own interest. Probably because it's been rampant in her own life. Can you imagine someone interviewing a man like this? Not now, and not then. ...Luckily, this type of mentality seems to be fading away. Albeit, with setbacks and slowly.
[applauds] You Said it!
Miss Dolly has always had nothing but my respect and admiration. yes she's flashy but it's on Her terms and for her own reasons. she's Never sold herself to be anything but real to herself.
babs, on the other hand, can Never claim that. i feel nothing but pity and disgust for the creature. as a feminist she once claimed to be, she failed herself and all she stood for. once upon a time, Maybe she was somebody worth something... she once had the integrity to be a journalist. but she caved into the system and threw away whatever spunk that made her genuine to become... *_This._*
no, Miss Dolly will be deeply mourned someday when she returns among the angels.
when babs goes, the only thing i expect to happen is a bunch of people will dust off their hats and join in a round robin of "the wicked witch is dead"... If Anything at All is ever really mentioned about it.
I mean Barbara says “Your people” and “Is it all you”. I didn’t know Barbara was a tyrant
Barbara is such an elitist, she probably didn't even realize just how nasty and rude her questions were. Dolly was incredibly kind and gracious...SHE is a true lady.
This interview has aged well, Dolly looks great and sounds great! And Barb Walt. speaks of marraige and love as confining, true love sets us free! 👏🏼❤️
No, she’s was a rude, crude shock jock.
Expand your vocabulary.
She knew.
@@black_sheep_nation what are you talking about
I hope at that time, the public went away knowing what kind of person Dolly is.
Because they sure went away knowing what kind of person Barbara was.
And just _maybe,_ Barbara went away knowing what kind of person Barbara was as well.
i could listen to dolly parton talk for hours
Dolly is a National treasure. She has always carried herself like a lady. And she pulled off the Dallas cowboy cheerleader performance like a true entertainer.
She is the best 👌.
God Bless
I love how Dolly shuts her down and is polite the whole time. She made Barbara look like a true villain and was sweet about it.
Exactly, ❨❨❨Barbara❩❩❩ was revealed
She’s a real southern belle. Women in the south are like that. But honestly I don’t think dolly aimed to shut her down. She aimed to be real. She knew what Barbara was gonna come with and she knows she didn’t have to answer to Barbara. That’s why she gave answers that were not pr but rather conversational. It’s a gift lol. She doesn’t get flustered or upset she shows no weakness intimidation but remains warm and welcoming. Again it a gift. True def of knowing yourself.
@@Aurousosa Definitely 100% class
Why do people think she’s being rude? She’s just doing her job I swear you people are just weak. If you were a world famous celebrity l expect direct questions about yourself.
@@MrEvldreamr According to my thumbs ups on here it's quite apparent I'm not the only that holds that opinion. In fact you're my first and only rebuttal so........
I never realized how rude Barbara Walters was until I saw this interview. Rude and disrespectful. Dolly was a gem and she handled herself like the star she is. 💕
wait to till you see her Interview with Michael Jackson...
@SonShine Oh, come on. She and all of her legacy from The View is so embarrassing. She was always trying to be holier than thou. Look at them interviewing Norm Macdonald and trying to make fun of him just as she tried with Dolly. She was always the same.
Barbara has always been that wonderful word Aussies sometimes use instead of mate.
Why do you think people made fun of the way she talked? Because it's manufactured glib to imply someone high on a hierarchy, and people knew it.
@Margie Smith still the same. I loathe most journalists
@@jovanagiovanna7749 and yet she had an affair with a married man
Dolly is so cute and classic at the same time. I could watch this interview over and over again. Her sweet confidence ❤
pure class 🔥 go on Dolly
"I'm very real where it counts, and that's inside." -Dolly
I read this just as she said it. Just sayin
Best way to be,Good for Dolly!!
She’s an absolute class act!
Spot on. She is thoughful in all her answers. Reminds me a bit of Billy Connolly whose autobiography I am currently reading ('Windswept and Interesting'). He adopted 'eyecatching' attire to be different from the vanilla hords.
@@TerryMcGearyScotland he is false. He walked out of a shop cos the asked him if he was Billy connelly. What's his problem. Insecure idiot rich one too. Left his wife as soon as he made some money.
i love how dolly not only answers her questions with charm and grace, but absolutely subtly DESTROYS the interviewer, as it seems to me these questions are based on prejudice and sexism
I see it as jealousy. A woman who has not only fame, but also a happy and secure personal life is bound to attract envy.
You can hear it in the questions
dolly DESTROYS reporter with facts and grace!
I agree with u but it had nothing to do with sexism, its just hateful
The 'interviewer' is Barbara Walters and she's a legend as well as Dolly Parton. She was doing the news before you were born and is, in fact, one of the first primetime female news anchors.
I find it kinda cool that somehow, my family is related to dolly parton. My grandpa saw her perform at a family reunion once an I think that is the coolest thing ever.
I love Dolly! So classy in her speech and secured in herself. Impressive where it matters. 😘❤️
"I would never stoop so low as to be fashionable"
There are a LOT of great Dolly quotes in this clip, but that one hits especially hard.
Love it!
Kardashians
She’s right, she would never stoop so low, so she just sought attention with all her fakery…
Cause she couldn’t be!
@@thomaswood2ok boomer
“I would never stoop so low as to be fashionable, that’s the easiest thing in the world to do.” She is incredible
.🔷🎶🥀🎶🔷
She's also said, "it takes a lot of money to look this cheap." 😂❤️
Wasn’t it “..lest the easiest thing in the world to do”?
@@theblob156 No, grow up and develop a working brain
Oh that’s the best line I’ve ever heard
Oh my gosh, she is amazing in this one. Wow!
I'm not american but I always loved Dolly. Her talent, her sweetness, her simplicity. ❤❤❤
Ugh what an icon, her voice is so soothing and she’s so damn elegant and classy. !!!
I wonder if she reads audiobooks?
Ugh?? Work on your English.
@@linjicakonikon7666 when do you start classes, professor?
@@Marcelle99 they have to graduate themselves first. If I had to guess in around 7-9 years
@@Lunastra_ she (@simply shanalee) wrote a nice comment to the video and there is always somebody else that needs to say somenthing rude. I can't stand this.
Not a single question about her stellar songwriting abilities… wow.
I guess there was no question that they are stellar songs? 👀
But seriously, she's asking all the wrong things!
This is also just a snippet of the interview specifically focusing on this style of questions.
@@brandontalbort yeah this was pretty uncool but Barbara Walter's is a super renowned interviewer from back in the day
So few people know this. She's written dozens of hit songs!
@@mylesthompson4485 ya and she just spent 4 minutes asking insulting question after insulting question. Famous interviewer or not that was an incredibly sexist and rude interview. I bet she wouldn’t have been asking men about their bodies, if they were well developed as a child and questioning he validity of their marriage.
Bless this lady sound of a angel
I absolutely love beautiful spirit she's very down to earth and humbling ❤
Dolly is so in control of this interview. She never loses eye contact with Walters.
Her smile is constant and her body language is a force. She moves forward when making her points.
I love how Dolly takes her time to answer these ridiculous questions (that seem more like attacks). She repeats what Walters says back slowly to let her know “I heard you. I’m not an idiot .”
And then Dolly answers with wisdom, intelligence, sincerity, and the perfect amount and use of humor.
Walters looks like she’s holding on and trying to blast through the interview while Dolly is just relaxed and presenting calm and her beautiful self ... inside and out. Love you, Dolly. ❤️
Yes! She really stands out in the way she presents herself in the given situation, amazing
Why do you think they are in opposition? Barbara is asking her questions to get an answer, and Dolly is giving it to her. They're having a fine conversation. I think people see regular conversations nowadays as arguments because, well... nowadays, in media, they often are.
Eye contact breaks multiple times…?
The good old gold standard from which we moved away. Thank you!
When I was reading this she was looking at the floor
The single biggest mistake any person can make with Dolly is underestimating her!
She murdered Walters with some deadly shade at 1:52.
Yes!!!
She is a total genius, very charming and smart, and her music skills are amazing.
@@HAL-dm1eh haha so true when Barbara is the epitome of fashion.
@@HAL-dm1eh Whoa, there isn't a man worthy of her after she said that! Goodness!! Talk about classy.
I absolutely love and respect Dolly! Such a beautifl, poised and elegant lady! She's an absolute blessing to us and has the voice of an angel! Love you Dolly!❤❤❤
Such class and restraint ❤
Walters comes across as totally unlikeable. Dolly comes across as genuine-and very…VERY patient.
Absolutely spot on - the more Barbara probed and poked, the more composed and poised Dolly remained. A very classy and intelligent lady indeed.
I saw it as Walters giving her the opportunity to directly address those misplaced criticisms that some of the public had.
@Alan I disagree. I feel Walters by this time was known for hard-hitting interviews and making headlines by asking probing questions. But her style makes no sense with someone who is not really controversial or deceptive. It's obvious that Dolly Parton is so self-assured. It's matter of taste whether you like her flamboyant style. So, I think Walters almost seems desperate to get a reaction or unsettle this grounded person.
Hey brain...dolly and barbara are best of friends for years. Chew on that.
Truth!!❤
Dolly's body posture is incredible. She is at ease and leaning in with respect and interest. Without an ounce of meanness. She is a person who causes others expose their ugliness in her presence.
Very astute.
I was thinking the same thing she is so comfortable and warming and respectful to others despite not perhaps receiving it back
Not even that, she just is so real that she brings out the realness in other people. Conan is junior to her but she brought out the best in him too. She is all about compliments, I don't know how she does that
@@nayannbg6314 She does it by virtue of her natural born character, keen intelligence, and grace .. something Barbara Walters could have used a good helping of....bless her little heart.
Yes, Barbara was so envious and insecure in this interview. I think that was the source of her judgemental and disrespectful questions.
God bless you Dolly! You’re a true Lady and are as real as they come!
