      We visited Gatlinburg and stayed in a cabin in Sevierville. Dolly Parton has her footprint everywhere, and it's really thanks to her that the area is such a vacation destination. Dollywood was a pleasant surprise, with great rides food, and outstanding shopping and shows.

    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!

    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? 🧡

    talent... she suprises everyone and is blessed with more talent than most people could handle. Johnny is so gracious and always a gentleman. What a role model, always calm and polite. I can imagine how he must have felt when Dolly played the song she wrote for him... basically attributing all of her massive success to Johnny. He probably wasnt expecting that, and was probably taken with emotion during the song. But! In the true perfection of the craft developed over many years.. he lightens the moment with an unexpected creme pie turning the sublime into the ridiculous, in a way that only Johnny can.

    I've never seen an interview with such warmth and genuine love (in a friendly way) between two people - it's just great to see but as for Dolly .... what a woman, what a person.

    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.

    I so love this woman; that voice! Even today she has a project sending books to children all across the USA, quietly doing whatever she can for people. I also teared up because just like so many I grew up to know, I will one day wake up to hear she has departed. I feel some kind of pain about this whole business of human existence. Oh well

      This is Easter Sunday 2022. We think it is all about Bunnies and Flowers and eggs; It is about victory over death! Dolly does know what it is about. The outer shell deteriorates and dissipates until it is dust but the inner man becomes complete and will live eternally with The Most High God where all will be complete and perfect. Jesus resurrection into a body that was not subject to decay or falling into the sinful traps we are bound to do. Victory over death means only to ask Him and be transformed into eternal life. Yes, Virginia, there is a Heaven to gain and a Hell to avoid. Don't let pride cause you to miss out!
