Dolly Parton Discusses Being Fake vs. Authentic
. (Radio.com) Say what you will about Dolly Parton but the country music legend doesn't lack any self-awareness--especially when it comes to her appearance. In a new interview with Woman's Day, Parton opens up about first impressions and reveals that, yes, she knows what vibes her ostentatious look give off. "I know I look totally artificial, but I'd like to think I'm real where it really counts," she said while discussing why it can be damaging to only go off first impressions. "It's how people treat one another and what they do and the way they do it--that's what should matter." The singer's positive nature comes across in the entire interview, where she shares on everything from growing up without electricity to her grandfather calling her a jezebel--seriously. 'When I was a girl growing up in the 1950s in the Smoky Mountains, there were plenty of people who didn't know what to make of me," she recalled. "I had 11 brothers and sisters and no electricity in my home, yet I knew I was gonna be a star. I had a big, outgoing personality and even then I dressed a little bit trashy--my grandfather, who was a Pentecostal preacher, told me I looked like Jezebel!" Read more here.
