Portrait

Dolly Parton was one of the most honoured and beloved singer-songwriters of all time, an acclaimed author, actress, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Over a seven-decade career, her distinctive voice, heartfelt songwriting, warmth and wit made her a global icon. She earned eleven Grammy Awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award and was inducted into both the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. In 2024, Billboard named her the No. 1 Country Music Artist of All Time. Dolly was also the author of the bestselling books: Dolly Parton; Songteller; Run, Rose, Run; Behind the Seams and Good Lookin' Cookin'. Inspired by her father, who never learned to read or write, she founded Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in 1995. To date, the programme has gifted more than 300 million free books to children around the world.
