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.

This is one of my favorite primary sources in our library: a contemporary review of E.T. for Atari 2600 in the rare newsletter The Logical Gamer. Their review is basically "It's meh, but jeez Atari sure sank a lot into P&A for this game. This seems bad?" archive.gamehistory.org/item/f2f37ee...
"It all adds up to a disappointment for me. ET seems like a game with a very high ad budget, and a lot of money has obviously been laid out for licensing arrangements to help insure its success but, if you ask me, it is all lost when the game is plugged into the VCS and you try to play it. If you want to help Atari recoup some of its undoubtedly astronomical expenses in bringing this one to you, then you might want to buy it. As a good game that will be fun to play for months to come, however, I don't think it fits the bill. They shouldn't have been in such a rush to get the thing to market."
