Raised as a poor ol' Tennessee farm-girl, Ms Dolly Parton knows what it's like to fall off that horse. She's had her share of dark times. She kidnapped her sexist employer. She made Julia Roberts cry with a haircut. She may or may not have lost her man to Jolene. Our sources tell us she even ran a whorehouse for a while down in Texas, but who knows where they got that idea from?
If there's one thing we can learn from this iconic bombshell, though, it's that you've got to get right back in the saddle. How did she overcome such struggles to become a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner, a two-time Oscar nominee, and the owner of Dollywood, America's 24th most popular theme park? That's right: big hair and being awesome.
