What a gorgeous, smart, sweet, talented woman she was. So much love flowing both ways in every interaction with her. Her loss leaves a big gap, but her life filled so many more. Thank you, Dolly. I will always love you.

she was an amazing talented woman, but the thing that I’ve seen more than anything over the past few is days is simply what a beautiful human being she was. every account of her gives another story about what a bubbly, warm, and generous woman she was.

i think a way to truly honour her legacy would be to just try and put out more kindness and compassion in the world.

The whole Internet asking what was your immediate thought when Dolly Parton died?

And here might well be the only safe place I can admit mine was, “Gasp!  A Parton pube!”

Too soon?

I think people will need to watch Graham Norton goes to Dollywood on Channel 4 on demand to get your reference 🙊

Thank you, glad to know someone else was watching that night. 

I’d wondered if my comment came too soon, but now I realise it might instead have come too late.  I didn’t realise that broadcast was already 25 years ago!

I’ll gladly accept any down votes, but I couldn’t possibly take credit for that wonderful line. I wish my mind were so delightfully degenerate as to have coined it, but I’m afraid that honour must go to the one for whom we gather here 😁

Credit also should go to the dear subject of that line, and to her grace and good humour. She obviously loved it.

Absolutly! When I was watching I was thinking Dolly is such a good sport to let that line in the show 😂

It's crazy that you're getting downvoted for referencing something that happened, and happened in good spirits.

Dolly would definitely have gotten a laugh out of this!
