Dolly Parton

If not for Dolly Parton, where would country music be? This statement might be an exaggeration, but really, she is considered one of the female pioneers of the music genre. She began her career in the mid-’50s, and now, she has sold more than a hundred million records worldwide. Besides writing her own songs, she has also composed tunes for other hitmakers, including Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You. Did you know she has over 3,000 songwriting credits? It’s indeed a record that’s hard to beat!

While Dolly surpassed country music with flying colors, she’s also well-known for her extraordinary beauty. She’s now 75 years old, and it’s evident that she’s aging gracefully. Her number one tip on looking pretty is just by being yourself. In an interview with Vogue magazine, she said, “Find out who you are and do it on purpose.”
