Now Viewing: dolly_partonTag type: Character A busty blonde_haired woman with long_hair. She was born as Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean on January 19, 1946 in Tennessee, United States. She grew up in poverty alongside her large family, but showed an affinity for music from a young age, writing her first song at the age of six and made her first televised appearance at age 10. She spent the first years of her long career mostly in the background, penning songs for other singers, but she began her rise to prominence as a solo country singer in the 1960s, when she became part of country singer Porter Wagoner's program, The Porter Wagoner Show and began releasing her first studio albums. Her fame accelerated in the 1970s thanks to the release of hits such as "Coat of Many Colors" and "Jolene," which was the inspiration for Stone Ocean's protagonist's name. By the end of her career, she had penned over 3000 songs and released 41 studio albums. She eventually became one of the most widely beloved country musicians and celebrities in the United States, appealing to people across multiple generations and of differing backgrounds. She was known for her maximalist fashion sense, employing heavy makeup, cosmetic surgery, wigs, and wearing outfits decked with rhinestones. This look was inspired by a woman she saw in town when she was a little girl. Others derided said woman as a tramp, but Parton thought she was beautiful. While Parton was unashamed of herself and her background, she was willing to crack jokes about herself and her appearance, famously summing up her look as "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap." Many of her own acting roles make use of her comedic abilities. Outside of her music and acting work, she was known for being very generous, doing extensive philanthropic work. She started the Imagination Library in 1995 which is a program that sends children free books until they are five years old. Said program managed to deliver over 120 million books by 2026. She also founded a theme park named Dollywood in Tennessee as a way to give the people of the region jobs. She was also an avid supporter of LGBTQ rights with her signature fashion style inspiring many drag queens. She passed away on August 25, 2026, in a month that coincidentally saw a lot of celebrity passings.
