Dolly Parton's Final Years: The Truth Few Ever Knew | Documentary

Dolly Parton was never just the wigs and the rhinestones. This is the real life behind the legend - the poverty, the love, and the giving. Born in a one room cabin as the fourth of twelve children, Dolly Parton rose from the poverty of the Tennessee mountains to become the Queen of Country and one of the best selling artists of all time. But the woman behind the image was far more than the public understood. This biography documentary tells her full life story - the homemade guitar and the booing crowds, the songs written in a single afternoon, the fifty eight year marriage the tabloids never understood, and the private health struggles she almost never spoke of. It is also the story of what she did with her success. The Imagination Library that has given away more than three hundred million free books. The quiet million dollar gift that helped fund a vaccine. And a final chapter, after the loss of her husband, that she planned entirely on her own terms. We separate the truth from the years of false rumors - and remember Dolly Parton the way she deserves to be remembered.
