Dolly Parton died

I met her in 2010. We had just been hiking Mount Hollywood, and my wife laid down for a nap.

A dude that we knew, a friend of a friend, posted on Facebook that he was at El Chavo, which is right down the street from our apartment, and Dolly Parton was there.

I wake up my wife, tell her, and it's just a whirlwind of makeup and hair spray and... soon, we are walking into El Chavo. I was pretty sure we were about to be arrested for something.

We crash the dude's date, which was probably for the best. My wife squealed when she saw Dolly sitting there.

After Dolly and her friend had finished eating (apparently she was there every time she was in LA, it was her favorite spot), the dude's date walked over and told her that my wife was a huge fan, etc...

She invites us over and she was the nicest person I have ever met in my life. Got some photos with the girls and then Dolly demanded photos with the dudes 😭
 
Huge loss for country music and this nation. She was by all accounts one of the nicest, kindest and giving people the entertainment industry has produced.
 
Anne we all know is theater and ran a program up in Vassar in the summer for 3 or 4 years and worked one summer with Dolly. She loves Dolly as a dear friend. She is very sad today. I loved love her tribute to Porter Wagoner. I will always love you and please don't take my man and so much more. She had seemed eternal.

Rest in peace, Dolly.

She was always a total babe wasn't she.

A proud American.
