My life has gotten far more interesting and fun as I’ve gotten older, not less. I wish I could tell this to all young women worried about forehead wrinkles or “hitting the wall” or whatever dumb superficial thing.
Dolly Parton's husband, Carl Dean, died in March 2025. They were married for 60 years. It's not unusual that when one half a longtime partnership dies, the other, heartbroken, soon follows. I hope they're reunited in heaven, because if anyone is going there, Dolly is.
