I just know that when I look back on my career, I'm going to look at my chat with Dolly Parton as a highlight. She's a testament to living your life walking in the path of joy and love, and her longtime marriage to Carl Dean was yet another example of how to live your life right. Which is why the news of his passing at the age of 82 is such a big story.
Think about this, there are very few pictures of Carl. He chose to support Dolly silently, letting her go out and be Dolly so that when she came home, it was just her and Carl. He gave not one interview, nor did he pose for any magazine cover. Instead, he just loved Dolly. (Like we love Dolly.)
"To have, you know, someone there in your corner and you know they love you for just who you are, not what you do, not what other people think you are," Parton told E! News in an old interview. "There's a great comfort in that, knowing that someone loves you exactly for who you are. Because he fell in love with me before I became a star."
That's it for me today. Keep scrolling for more entertainment news. I'll see you Friday!
