Today I learned that Dolly Parton has been married for 50 years.
Although, cynically, the media has been speculating that they have an open marriage. There is absolutely no proof of that, and it’s probably more of a case of the media finding it hard to believe that they can make their marriage work.
They renewed their vows this year.
Here she is at 70 performing Jolene-

Very religious woman. Good for her and her husband.
50 years is something to be proud of no matter what you went thru to get there. I bet it took some work.
DH and I will hit the 50 in six months – if we both make it to then. 🙂
Congratulations to them! She has the gift of being able to laugh at herself. She once said, “Hey, it takes a lot of money to make me look this cheap.”
I read once that she had memorized all the lines in the movie “9 to 5” – not just her lines, but everyone’s lines. She is a beautiful, brilliant lady.
She still has a fine voice and is still very attractive at 70 years old. Personally, I always liked her voice even better in duets with Porter Wagoner (among others). Amazingly, she can sing now almost as well as she did 50 years ago (this video is from 1967). I hope she and her hubby can keep going together for many more years. She’s done quite well for herself from starting off as a dirt poor mountain gal.

Dolly Parton has been famous for decades, and not a singular nude photo or clip exists of her truly epic, majestic, breasts
“I describe my look as a blend of Mother Goose, Cinderella, and the local hooker.” – Dolly Parton
BTW – Dolly Parton is the godmother of Miley Cyrus
Dolly Parton is hosting this massive metablog. Plus lots of WOW ME OUT stuff

Wow! I just reached 25 with my wife – 50 is pretty awesome.
Still one of the best voices in country music.
I like her better when she sings solo or with Emmylou Harris.
The reason the marriage has worked is that she married a regular guy. Hubby drove a cement mixer truck for years.
It doesn’t surprise me that marriages between two celebs rarely work. Imagine two egos that big in the same house–a recipe for disaster.
I always thought that “renewing vows” was for old people.
My husband and I just “got married again.” Three times. Three rings. Stood in line with the eighteen year olds and got another license. Three weddings, two states, no intervening divorces.
(Getting a divorce would have been a complicated bureaucratic mess, however.) ….Lady in Red
I think Dolly is great in a lot of ways. 50 Years..wow. my wife and bestest friend made it 26, before a brain tumor took her from me.
we renewed our vows when it obvious that the end was near.
Ow! My eye!
The fourth pic from the top? Is Carl a body double for Senator Boob Corker?
“I’m not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I’m not dumb… and I also know that I’m not blonde.” Dolly Parton
Wow, 50 years. I would have married my bride when she was 13 years old if we were to celebrate 50 (it’ll be 35 years in 2017). But then again her grandmother was only 14 when she got married in Italy.
Gorgeous, talented, with morals, and kindness.
As a guitar player, I respect the hell out of her talent.
Her song Jolene is a finger buster to try to get the rhythm right.
Good for her.
Her voice is beautiful
She loves Hillary so, I refuse to listen to her music.
Wow – he even knew her before she had boobs.
🙂
The Moes made 52 in June. Some hard times, some good times. Mostly good
Don’t you just get sick when Killary tries to talk like Dolly?
BTW, this is the very best version ever of “Jolene.” …by far!
