Dolly Rebecca Parton - from Sevierville – Tennessee - USA

Few stars revel in the superficiality of celebrity glamour and then pop its pretensions the way Dolly Parton does. As a Grammy Award-winning country music singer, songwriter, composer, author, actress, philanthropist and with 25 number-one singles - record for a female country artist - and 42 top-10 country albums - record for any country artist - Dolly Parton is to date one of the worlds most successful country artists. Born in 1946 and the fourth of 12 children, she is best known for her colourful dresses - sensual figure - golden locks and special country soprano voice. She became famous in the film 9 to 5 and scored two Grammy Awards and a Golden Globe for Best Original Country Song in Motion Picture.
