Dubbed the "Queen of Country," Parton was one of the most honored performers of country music in history, earning eleven Grammy Awards and three Emmy Awards, as well as nominations for two Academy Awards, six Golden Globes and a Tony Award. She was also known for her cultural influence and philanthropy via Dollywood and the Dollywood Foundation. With more than 100 million records sold, Parton is among the best-selling music artists of all time. Born into poverty in rural Tennessee, Parton wrote her first song at age six, performed regularly on TV by age ten, made her first recording a year later, and became a professional songwriter at sixteen. After writing songs for others, she released her debut album, "Hello, I'm Dolly" (1967), starting a nearly 60-year career. She released 49 studio albums and wrote more than 3,000 songs, including "I Will Always Love You" (a two-time U.S. country chart-topper and an international success for Whitney Houston that sold 24 million copies worldwide), "Jolene", "Coat of Many Colors," and "9 to 5". Onscreen, Parton starred in the films "9 to 5" (1980) and "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" (1982), both earning her nominations for Golden Globe, plus "Rhinestone" (1984), "Steel Magnolias" (1989), "Straight Talk" (1992), and "Joyful Noise" (2012). On television, she played Aunt Dolly in "Hannah Montana" (2006–2010), hosted "Saturday Night Live" (1989), and guest-starred on "Reba" (2005) and "Grace and Frankie" (2022). She produced and starred in the Netflix film "Christmas on the Square" (2021), winning a Primetime Emmy Award. On Broadway, she wrote the music and lyrics for the musical "9 to 5" (2009), for which she was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Original Score. Her life will be depicted in "Dolly: A True Original Musical" (2026). Parton was hospitalized at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, Tennessee, on August 21, 2026, and died after a "brief battle" with cancer on August 25, at age 80. Her death was announced the same day by her nephew, Bryan Seaver, who had served as her head of security for more than two decades.
