• • Back in June 2003, when Parton was expecting to portray the Brooklyn bombshell in an upcoming (though aborted) TV movie, she used a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Dixie Stampede (a $28 million attraction in Orlando, Florida) to discuss the project with a reporter.
• • "I really relate to her,'' Parton said in a once-over-slightly interview in an upstairs conference room at her Dixie Stampede dinner theater, an establishment operated by her family.
• • "We have very similar attitudes toward life and business. It turns out she wrote a lot of her own material and so do I. She also had a healthy attitude about sex and men, and so do I,'' Dolly hurriedly told news man Jim Abbott from the Orlando Sentinel.
• • Like Mae West, Tennessee native Dolly Parton [born 19 January 1946] wears many hats — — including author, actress, singer, and high earner. Unlike Mae, Dolly probably needs a brassiere constructed by the likes of Roebling to keep her exaggerated silicone curves afloat. Self-enhanced but self-deprecating, Dolly enjoys saying, "It costs a lot to look this cheap."
• • Willem de Kooning's famous line — — "I always seem to be wrapped in the melodrama of vulgarity" — — could easily be Dolly's trademark. Ultimately, the TV producers felt she was too tawdry and low-class to portray the empress of sex.
• • Last weekend Dolly Parton's dinner theater, the Dixie Stampede, abruptly closed its Orlando branch after receiving a lucrative offer for the 13 acres of land it sits on. Over 200 employees found themselves out of work but it's quite a January birthday present for the multi-millionaire entertainer.
