Dolly Parton Documentary: For the Love of Dolly




A new documentary by Tai Uhlmann, For the Love of Dolly delves into the lives of five die-hard Dolly Parton fans. The documentary is currently on the film festival circuit in the U.S.

Although I’ve never built a replica of Dolly’s Tennessee Mountain Home in my backyard, or transformed my home into a Dolly shrine, or made handcrafted porcelain Dolly Parton dolls, or taken regular therapeutic trips to Dollywood, or had Dolly tattooed on my bottom, or relocated to Nashville just to live closer to Dolly – you can still count me in as a fan.

  3. Dolly never harmed a fly. she's okay. I do think she looks a bit tragic these days though. There comes an age in a lady's life when that sort of figure is just...well....wrong...

  5. She is such a cartoonish character that she's actually adorable.
    When I was a little girl, on weekends my grandpa would always watch the Porter Waggoner show, and he had Dolly on as his sidekick/duet partner. During commercials, they'd advertise a laundry detergent called "Breeze" which always came with "candy stripe" towels (grandma's pantry STILL has some, threadbare though they be) and they'd conclude the commercial by saying "and yew can only git 'em in boxes of Breeze!" Ah, the early 70s. Where did they go?

    Phlegmfatale: And I do believe her hair was even bigger in the Porter Wagoner era.
