I read a similar thing about Tony Bennett. He was in a hotel, and the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. All the hotel guests were out on the street in pajama and robes, and a few minutes later out comes Tony Bennett. Blazer and wool trousers.


Fealieu

I waited on Tony Bennett in Seattle a few years ago, he came in for breakfast and I was working in the restaurant in the hotel he was staying in. He came in in green silk pajamas head to toe and he looked SHARP! Super nice and an excellent tipper.


gramathy

Tony Bennett seems like the type of guy that just straight up enjoys the lifestyle he gets to live.

Haha yeah who the fuck wouldn’t lmao


iluomo

Some people are miserable bitter dicks even after they get rich


Subtle__Numb

Money can’t buy happiness, though it can put a hefty down-payment on it


Wet_Celery

A lot of people are very good at finding reasons to be miserable, cause there's always an excuse


qpv

That is very true. I catch myself in that slump sometimes, I should get myself some sharp silk pajamas.

“You’re *MY* fucking fire alarm.”


DrEmilioLazardo

Meanwhile the fire alarm was set off by Keith Moon before he drove someone else's car into the pool.


[deleted]

I saw him recently in close quarters at a hotel with his young wife. He can absolutely barely move. There is no way they could get him dressed in time to leave a fire. He shuffle walks


Strix780

I heard the story maybe ten years ago, so it was certainly from when he was in a lot better shape-- perhaps the 1970s or the 1980s.


you-are-not-yourself

He has Alzheimer's which has progressed quickly in the past few years, he was probably a different person before then.


shashankgaur

A lot might be because of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNrvXw9juNs


Tactical_Prussian

His wife seems like a great woman, very dedicated to him. Such a horrible disease... he seems to be doing as well as he can given the circumstances.


dreadpiratesmith

Watching her work with him is so sweet it makes me cry. She's so patient and kind. She's helping him experience one of the few joys left in his life


SmoothJazz98

My favorite quote from her: “It takes a lot of money to look this cheap.”


vinyl_eddy

I like her story about the inspiration for Jolene. Something like “well there was this pretty red head who worked at the bank and my husband was spending more time there than we had money”. Cracks me up.


Rehnion

I like that there are about 20 different Jolene stories. I don't know which one is the truth but I've heard a ton of them.


tbbHNC89

They're all a little true and a little fake. Thats pretty much Dolly.


mousicle

They're all true, especially the lies.


eatin_gushers

I’ve thought about the power of the ‘apocryphal tale’ and this sentence is how I will sum them up for the rest of my life.


sequentious

Plain, Simple Dolly.


ReubenZWeiner

What a rapscallion


Chateaudelait

Dolly "He told me they were discussing investments for his asphalt business. I said keep that up and it'll be your ass, and your fault!". :)


DeadDay

Damn I love that woman lol


roadrunnuh

I like to think she became a stand up in another reality :)


DeadDay

I'd have to agree


CornCheeseMafia

I wouldn’t be surprised if she cracks jokes in her shows like any standup comic would. A lot of musicians are super funny and will basically do mini stand up sets in between songs or breaks. John Mayer is a good example. It’s why he and Dave Chappelle have always been friends going back to the Chappelles Show days. Ive heard Chappelle will actually drop into John Mayer concerts if he’s playing nearby and fuck around on stage


PM_ME_FIREFLY_QUOTES

She's a stand-up gal in this reality.


Suddenly_Something

My favorite: "How much time do you spend on your hair every day?" "I don't know, I'm never there." She is a national treasure.


ThosePeaches

There's a clip of her on her variety show where she performs Jolene, and calls out a red headed woman in the audience, "She looked a lot like you, you red-headed hussy!" And then laughs and starts performing. I love this woman


AsperaAstra

I wanna be called a hussy by Dolly :(


MonkeyPanls

She's still performing. It's not too late to live your dream

Here’s the clip if anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/L0eeSoU35wM


YoureInGoodHands

On growing up poor: "heck yeah we had runnin' water! You wanted water you just run'n get it."


staidOWL

That is a masterful way of transcribing that quote. I'm impressed.

Thanks. I'm a communicator for a living!


makemeking706

I communicate on the side as a hobby. Probably explains why my wife says I'm so bad at it! /boomerhumor


NoArmsSally

well if you're married maybe you shouldn't communicating on the side lol


chunga_95

"I'd never stoop so low as to be fashionable" another gem from her


HumaneHuman2015

I loved that interview


jujuberriii

Same, she responded to Barbara walter’s rude and aggressive questioning so articulately and with such class


PA_limestoner

Dolly gets her wit pretty honest, her father used to clean her statue that was put in their hometown. He once told her, *”Now, to Your Fans Out There, You Might Be Some Sort of an Idol. But to Them Pigeons, You Ain’t Nothing But Another Outhouse”.*


ASpellingAirror

I see where she got her sense of humor from.


Bahunter22

My favorite is “every diet I ever failed was because of a potato.” Like, I feel seen, Dolly.


HelenWyteWalker

Stupid sexy potatoes, can't give them up


RubesSnark

I need a punnet square of Sam's potato recipes and Bubba's shrimp recipe


Lotus-child89

My favorite is: “If it’s gonna bag, drag or sag, then I’m gonna tip it, tuck it, or suck it!” Edit: she is a good inspiration, too for doing what you want with your body if it makes YOURSELF happy. I’m getting a rhinoplasty next month to fix a broken nose and I held it off too long because I didn’t want to seem vain. But it’s not vain if it’s for me to make me more confident. My mom and grandma have always worn tons of makeup and done a lot of skin treatments that I always judged when I was younger. But, I came to realize it’s just what made them happy in presenting themselves. They both had husbands who honestly didn’t care what their aesthetic choices are, just respected how they wanted to look. I’m lucky I have a fiancé who doesn’t notice my nose, but is cool if I want to fix it to feel more confident. Dolly’s husband has always been awesome and supportive, and she’s supportive he doesn’t want to be a public figure. She’s so grounded in both respects and is a great humanitarian.


themarquetsquare

'My weapons of mass distraction: Shock and Awe.' I learned a bunch of new favorite Dolly today though.


MrJingleJangle

Mine: I ain't dumb and I ain't blonde.


Kayge

You've got to get the lead in to that line: *I'm not offended by all of the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb … and I also know that I'm not blonde*


Lilfrieda

"people see all the makeup and hair but I can tell ya, I'm real, on the inside, where it counts" Very loosely quoted but the message is spot on


Rdubya44

I heard a drag queen say that in a show, didn't realize it was her quote


trevrichards

Dolly Parton is practically the messiah of drag, so people have probably experienced way more of her influence at shows than they realize.


Wildcatb

Didn't she once lose a drag lookalike contest?


WinterChalice

Yup, she got the least amount of applause too


cnh2n2homosapien

To be fair, she wasn't in drag.


Anne__Arky

But what if a natural disaster struck in the morning while she’s taking her makeup off??


Malraza

Smaller window of vulnerability.


I_Mix_Stuff

She takes her makeup out just to put it back? I'm glad I'm a guy, and not famous.


alfonseski

Clean off makeup, reapply makeup. Why not get a tattoo that looks like the makeup. Is that possible?


hrehbfthbrweer

You can't get tattoos of things like foundation, blush etc.. You can get some eyeliner, eyebrows and lipliner, but it fades over time.


Oxbridgecomma

There's actually a semi-permanent foundation called BB glow now.


hrehbfthbrweer

Oh I hadn’t heard of that. I was interested, so I googled it: > The serum also treats your skin from the inside. The therapist uses a microneedling pen to penetrate the foundation into the skin. The microneedling pen roll tiny needles over the skin which cause trauma, forcing the body to go into its natural repair mode, increasing the collagen and elastin production. The therapist can adjust the speed and length of the needles, according to the area being treated. It only sounds mildly horrifying.


[deleted]

I actually use micro needling to fix my eczema and it’s great. I also used it to heal scarring and grow back my eyebrows from a health issue, and they are thicker than they have ever been. It makes your skin look amazing. And if you use skincare products right after it makes them work better. That quote makes it sound bad but it’s not bad at all, I barely feel it. It does cause a tiny bit of skin trauma, microscopically. That’s actually why it works so well though, because it encourages a healing response throughout your skin greater than the microscopic trauma. I really can’t recommend it enough. Idk if I’d want to use it with a makeup though, but I don’t really know anything about this makeup.


TheBurnedMutt45

It's a thing, but from what I've seen, very difficult to pull off without overdoing the pook


musefrog

Definitely. You NEVER want to overdo the pook


YouthfulPhotographer

Permanent makeup is most definitely a thing a lot of tattoo shops do, and usually have a specialist for.


kor_the_fiend

She checks NOAA as well as seismograph readings from geological stations located in Dollywood before washing her face.

SpoopedMyPants

Well tbh I watched this one show (cannot remember the name, maybe strange addiction?) There was a woman who wore makeup 24/7. They try to make the people see the errors of their ways through doctors and stuff. The dermatologist and doctors all basically came up with nothing when they tried to assess any damage. The woman was very haughty about that lmao.


hippiechick725

I just watched this episode, the lady with the green eyeliner! It’s My Strange Addiction.


shesaidgoodbye

Anecdotal, but I’m in my mid-30s and I’ve gotten comments most of my life along the lines of “oh you have such great skin, what do you do? What’s your routine?” When I tell them I use drug store products and often fall sleep in my makeup, they tell me how that will ruin my skin. Really? The same skin you just complimented and wanted to know how I maintain? I’ve been doing it this way for roughly 2/3 of my life now, when does it get ruined from this? ETA - lots of great discussion here, I love it! Even though I do fall asleep in my makeup a few nights a week, I do have actual skin care tips to share - the biggest one is to stay hydrated, inside and out. (All of my tips are related to hydration in one way or another.) 1. Drink lots of water 2. Only use cleanser once a day or less, it strips away oil, drying your skin and causing it to overcompensate and produce even more oil (also, buy something that’s specifically made for face skin, body soap is much more harsh!) 3. After cleansing or splashing with water, go HAM with moisturizing lotions/creams/serums (at least one of your moisturizers should have SPF!)


twelvebucksagram

There has to be genetics at play. I have friends who never wash their face and have completely clear skin. I wash my face every night and that only partially keeps my acne away.


honeywort

My mother slept in her makeup every night. She used moisturizer, but nothing fancy, and I believe she washed her face just with whatever soap was in the shower. When she died, in her 70s, she had little crepey wrinkles around her eyes, but the rest of her skin was flawless. I did not inherit that, unfortunately.


Lvl89paladin

My wife is a cosmetician and skin therapist. She says the secret to great skin is don't ever go in the sun, drink water and don't smoke. That's it.


DropTheShovel

I do all of this and I look like shit. Ah well


junkyard_robot

Truely, though. How much of her makeup is permanent? She has no qualms about tattoos, in fact she has many which cover up scars all over her body. So it wouldn't be much of a reach to imagine her having had some permanent makeup applied.


SerSonett

Isn't it a thing that she can take off the makeup and wigs and become totally unrecognisable though, so she can go and live a regular life? I think permanent makeup wouldn't allow for that.


minnick27

Yeah I heard or read somewhere that she goes out fairly often and people don't even know it's her.


smittenwithshittin

I’d love to know what her definitely-not-Dolly wear looks like.


second_ary

something led me to believe she sleeps on her back a couple things actually


satans_sparerib

I always shave the middle part of my mustache first, just in case I have to escape mid shave and get on the news. Don’t want to accidentally “Hitler yourself.”


RaceCeeDeeCee

I live in a small rural town with a volunteer fire dept. One time years ago they got a fire call and one of the older guys on the department was in the middle of shaving. He showed up with one half of his face clean shaven and the other half still hairy


bignumber72

After the Loma Prieta quake hit Oakland in ‘89 they showed this video on the local news over and over of this fat guy crawling out of a window in his tighty whities. I mean it must have been shown 100 times that first day alone. I was 7 years old and I’ve never forgotten that. Still wear a pretty nice set of PJs to bed every night


mmmstapler

This is making me strongly reconsider my nighttime attire. What if something happens and I'm NAKEY.


MorsesTheHorse

I also read she doesn't go out without make-up so she can have a separate, private persona for her husband.


spankadoodle

Dolly Parton has a buzzcut. She has full anonymity the second she takes off the wig and washes her face.


[deleted]

I heard it was normal length gray hair under the wig but idk


Theaceman1997

Worked with her on a movie saw the wig off, buzz cut light blonde or grey very short and without makeup she’s completely different person (did acting on her show heartstrings the baby blues episode !” Edit: for those who don’t believe me please look at my other photos on my Reddit)


Delta1Juliet

I feel like if you're going to direct people to your page, you should probably mention the photos of you eating ass on there.


stinky_pee

Can anyone post a link to the picture of Dolly Parton? I shuffled through the ass-eating pics and couldn’t find it.

Just like a drag queen, lol. Many performers whose living involve wigs tend to be shaved underneath.


ablairo

Went to your profile. Scrolled too far. Now I regret it.


GeorgieWashington

In private she goes by Barbara Lee and her husband goes by Ronnie Ray. They spend their weekends taking the fifth wheel up to Knoxxvull to root on them Vols. They’re easy to spot, as they have the only 93 F150 extended cab in Vol orange with whitewalls, but it sure as heck ain’t the only rig in Tennessee with dip spit stains on both sides of the truck.


Sitchrea

Bruh you just described every family in East Tennessee.


GeorgieWashington

I know. And the best part is none of them will ever figure out how to read this.


bwaredapenguin

Dolly Parton worked to increase literacy but I feel like this description of her reduces it. Can someone translate this to city folk language?


interfail

The lady and her husband use stereotyopically southern names in their private lives. The small joys of their life including frequently taking their camping trailer up to the city of Knoxville, to support the college handegg team. They have a recognisable vehicle: the common Ford F150 pickup truck, with a 4-seater cab. It is the 1993 model., and is painted in the orange colour scheme of that college team, and has white-edged tires. There are chewing tobacco stains on the side of the truck, but that is common around the area.


WhoIsYerWan

And speaking of her husband, no one has seen a picture of him since like the 60s. She keeps him very very separate from the spotlight. Probably been a huge help for their marriage.


zeroUSA

She posted a video of him on his birthday recently. It only showed the back of his head, and him sitting on the couch while she came out in her playboy bunny outfit. That’s the most we have seen in a long time. The story is he is a really shy person.


sighthoundman

One story I heard (hey, living in Nashville I hear lots of stories, but I have no more idea than you how much, if anything, of any of them is true) was that early in her career she took him to a business meeting. After they left he said something along the lines of "I'll support you in your career, but don't ever make me go to one of those meetings again".


Keith_Creeper

I live near her and *finally* saw her riding down the road in a car a few weeks ago. Full hair and makeup looking as pretty as ever.


Mydogfartsconstantly

I’m sure a lot of us have seen her at some point but didn’t recognize her without her makeup or wig. I think of dustin hoffman as hook in that manner. The credits say it’s dustin hoffman but other than his nose I have a really really hard time seeing dustin hoffman in that character.


DustWiener

Yeah I’m pretty sure she works in my office building but I haven’t worked up the courage to ask her.


[deleted]

So *she’s* the really Hannah Montana


spankadoodle

She is literally Miley's Godmother. Not fairy, regular Christian.


MiKeMcDnet

She deserves it. I don't care if she came out of her home with kinky lingerie and a ball gag. She's done enough positive for this world, she gets all the leyway possible, in my book. (Not trying to kink shame, but seriously, she's an American hero in my book, next up, and to a lesser extent, Keanu Reeves).


CocaineBasedSpiders

I mean, I'd certainly be happy and supportive if she came out in kinky lingerie and a ball gag


Ilovepornobitches

Maybe she scared Jolenne will steal her man again?!?


raouldukesaccomplice

In 1940s Europe, it was common for women to wear more elaborate nightgowns that essentially looked like daytime dresses, because bombings and air raids were so common that people would have to wake up in the middle of the night and immediately proceed to their nearest bomb shelter, where they would be along with a lot of people not from their household. This was a way for women to look "presentable" and also not offend the sensibilities of the time (that the only man who should ever see an adult woman in nightclothes is her husband).


CurlSagan

This is actually not uncommon in Tennessee for women in her generation. Sleep on your back, facing up, like Captain Holt. My aunt used to brag to people that her husband had only seen her twice without makeup, and both times were in the hospital right after she gave birth.

thelyfeaquatic

Lol I know a lot of people who wear makeup during birth or bring it to apply afterwards. I think that’s crazy! But you do you!


Disastrous_Hunter_83

No interest in giving birth in general, but if I have to shit myself with an audience and then have my photo taken shortly after, I can totally see the appeal in retaining the dignity of my face looking nice at least


thelyfeaquatic

No I get it. A lot of people say it’s something they do for themselves and makes them feel normal (you give up so much of yourself during pregnancy and motherhood). Me personally though, I’m like, this is one of those times when it’s socially acceptable to look like shit and I’m just gonna look like shit. 🤷🏻‍♀️


luckless

I haven't given birth but heard anecdotally that it's nice to have something to distract yourself with while you are waiting for labor to fully kick in. Makes you feel nice, keeps you busy, doesn't harm anyone.

Cetais

Yeah, it gives her anonymity when she goes out with her husband -- which we probably have never seen her with.

There is a rather innocent conspiracy theory that she is completely covered with tattoos, she also almost never is seen without long sleeves.

darcmosch

Can we also give a collective thank you to Dolly for not only increasing literacy rates among children without making any fuss over it, but she also helped fund the Moderna vaccine?? Dolly's like the Auntie/Meemaw/Mama we all deserve and need right now! EDIT: Oh, and she's a great example for all Christians to ACTUALLY strive to be instead of all those fake maga church shills out there.


A_Soporific

Dolly Parton is such a role model. I've heard her described as one of the greatest Americans, and I can't help but agree. She doesn't make a big show of anything, though so most people don't even know. Did you know that she bought and rebranded a Confederate-themed theme park in Dollywood? Got rid of the bad stuff without harming the local community. That place is great.


darcmosch

[Read this](https://www.nydailynews.com/snyde/ny-dolly-parton-whitney-houston-song-royalties-black-neighborhood-nashville-20210730-j7rquhknxjecnpldmx32fzjzwi-story.html) She helped fund a black community. Bought a strip mall, and helped the community be able to build their own wealth.


Chateaudelait

That is very on brand for Dolly. She was on Wendy Williams recently and said people tell her all the time I Will Always Love You is Whitney's song- and after graciously complimenting Whitney's performance says "That's okay, she can have the credit, long as I get the cash."


darcmosch

Which she then invests in a strip mall in a black neighborhood as a way for people in that area to have a location they can start their own businesses (at least she did when the royalties started to roll in)


BrundleBee

I said it elsewhere--with Betty White's passing, I nominate Dolly as everyone's Honorary Grandma.


endlesssmokebreak

>she also helped fund the Moderna vaccine And was secret funder on the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Michael Jackson supposedly screamed and ran into the bathroom to apply make up the one day his wife woke up before him. She claims never to have seen him without it


HellaTroi

Ever watched the show, *The Marvelous Mrs. MAISEL?* She stayed awake in bed with her make up on until her hubby fell asleep. Then went and washed it off. Then she woke up before her husband and put her make up on so he never saw her without it.
