Known for her big hair, big smile and big…personality, Dolly Parton runs a $650 million empire with brains, heart and an unrelenting positivity. This love letter to the multi-faceted icon shares the many lessons we can all learn from this one of a kind role model
From the foothills of the
Appalachian Mountains, she became an international superstar, a successful
businessperson and philanthropist, the epitome of the American Dream. Her
unrelenting positivity and belief in everyone’s ability to overcome adversity
through grit, faith, a strong work ethic and a big heart got her out of
poverty. How did she do it? Part biography, part words of wisdom, with a few
recipes and beauty tips thrown in, this book is meant to inspire readers to tap
into their inner Dolly and put wings on their own dreams.
Some interesting tidbits:
-Kevin Costner didn't want
“I Will Always Love You” as the anthem for The Bodyguard, which Dolly had
written and performed as a hit years before. He took some convincing before
Whitney Houston made it into a huge #1 hit which set up the marketing campaign
for the popular movie.
-Both Reese Witherspoon and Kristin Chenoweth claim Dolly as their childhood –and ongoing – role model. Reese created a “What Would Dolly Do?” tote bag for her lifestyle company Draper James, which sold out almost immediately after going on sale and Kristin has an album of the same name and often pays homage to Dolly in monologues and songs in her performances
-She is a prolific songwriter with somewhere between 3000-5000 songs in her catalogue
-Dolly was a producer of the successful television show BUFFY, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
-She is the founder of the Imagination Library which has given over 100 million books to children under the age of five since its inception; it is one of the largest literacy programs in the World. She was recently honored at the Library of Congress
