If you have a talent, you must let it shine. But what do you do when don’t have the tools required? When Parton first started out, she played music on a homemade guitar. It wasn’t until her uncle saw her sing when she was eight that he knew she’d be a star someday. So he went out and bought her first ever real guitar – man, what a life-changing decision that turned out to be!

Southern Living inquired if Dolly had a particular memory that she always carried with her. “I’ve always been proud of who I was and of my people. I was proud of where I was from. Some people want to get away, to move and get out and don’t even want to be reminded, but that’s not me. And the older I get, the more sappy I get about my childhood.”
