The ‘Most Important Thing’ Dolly Parton Ever Did — A Very Special My So-Called Book Club
Before he died, Dolly Parton’s father (who was illiterate) told her that “the most important thing” she had ever done was start her Imagination Library. With the news of her death, tonight’s special livestream will be all about Dolly’s love of reading and books…and the origins of the library that she built.

CFN Dolly Parton I just watched 9 to 5 as Tribute, It was my first time actually seeing it all the way through, I saw The Pot Fantasies, The Rat Poison Corpse theft, and Hart in Bondage, when i was growing up, but now it all fits together. Today will be whisper of The Heart. She was 30 years older than me. 2:55 Boomers to Alpha. Dolly Parton will be missed 3:17 Unlikely Angel π. It's her death scene. Dolly played a Country singer who dies and becomes a guardian angel appointed by Roddy McDowall, CFN Roddy McDowall. Watch it on Tubi. 6:25 Goo, I was just a baby Moonbeam. 6:56 it's a 50 year old song. Sorry I missed the book club I've been busy. 19:26 πΏ I'll put the π§ π§ away when you do Beautiful.

I have a deep loathing of Country music, and even I love Dolly. She was a true QUEEN and ICON, and one of the rare truly good souls.

That was such a gut punch to hear Dolly Parton passing. She was such a big hearted sweet person, I donβt get sad over celebrity passings but this one really sucked. Sad day.
