The story behind Parton's super hit 'Jolene'

The biggest hit by Parton has a story behind it! 'Jolene', is a tale of flirtation slightly inspired by a bank teller who set her eyes on Parton's husband, Carl Dean, who Parton said also loved the attention. As per NPR Music, she said, "She got this terrible crush on my husband," "And he just loved going to the bank because she paid him so much attention. It was kinda like a running joke between us, when I was saying, 'Hell, you're spending a lot of time at the bank. I don't believe we've got that kind of money.' So it's really an innocent song all around, but sounds like a dreadful one."

Her own theme park 'Dollywood'

Dollywood, which opened in 1961, is a theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, fashioned after Parton's childhood fantasies. It offers an array of roller-coasters and water rides, but Parton has never experienced them herself. In a conversation with New York Times she said, "I don't ride the rides," She continued, "I never have. I have a tendency to get motion sickness. Also, I'm a little bit chicken."

She loves pies

It's traditional to have cake on birthdays, but Parton is partial to pie. According to Insider, "I don't eat much cake. I usually have pie on my birthday," She said "My favorite pie is chess pie. That is 'chess' not CHEST pie."
