Also, the controllers keep changing function. No warning, but usually just when you start getting use to them.

Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor when we began steel magnolias rehearsals  i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours? Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it! i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

 

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). 

 

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

 

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.         

 

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

I hope it’s settled soon. We are in Aviemore and shocked at the scale of the fire here. So sad.

Removing ticks as soon as possible is the best way to prevent Lyme disease. You can use a pair of fine-tipped tweezers or a tick removal card to remove it carefully and safely. More information - ow.ly/bUtG50Zazbq

What a brilliant experience FameLab and Cheltenham science festival has been. Never in my wildest dream think that I would place in the final. Delighted to be runner up in the famelab uk 2026 final, but the real prize has been the learning, networking, and gaming some amazing new friends on the way.

Made it to the Cheltenham science festival safely after a very long, an interesting (not in a good way) train journey yesterday. Decided to have a full costume dry run which included drawing an oversized leech bite onto myself. Did I check the pen was washable? Of course not! 😂🙈

The bigger ask is convincing them to fly you to Scotland for one 😉

Hazel McPhillips (She/Her) @hazeyfantasy.bsky.social · 25/04/2026
The other huge positive is the networking and opportunities they bring. Perhaps that’s a good way to sell it? Finger crossed you can convince them it’s beneficial ☺️

I was very sceptical going to my first one. They are now a regular thing. I would never have completed my PhD without them and I now use them for papers. I have found a couple that are not only productive but also restorative (one at a spa and another on the banks of Loch Lomond) ☺️

I never expect anyone to Px for me if they don’t feel comfy. Just found it disappointing they would refuse & ask for expert opinion, then refuse the (female) expert opinion. Had some amazing care though. Menopause consultant has literally changed my life. Hope you are recovering well. ❤️

Hazel McPhillips (She/Her) @hazeyfantasy.bsky.social · 07/03/2026
In fairness, only had a couple bad experiences. The other time, GP wouldn’t Px HRT as he wasn’t confident due to my existing conditions. Menopause consultant & haematologist came up with a plan that GP refused to prescribe as he didn’t agree. I may have suggested misogyny was at play. New GP is fab.
