Crushing
Speaking of Johnny Cash, he left a lasting impression on the star. Apart from pushing her to pursue her dreams, Cash was also Parton’s first crush. She spoke of the first time she ever saw him play, “I was sitting in the audience and that’s when I first knew about sex appeal… he had this tick when he moved his shoulder… and it was still sexy. It still got to me.”

Business Savvy
You’d be wrong if you thought Dolly was just a singer and songwriter (a talented one at that). Parton is super business savvy, early on in her life, she created Velvet Apple Music (BMI), which allowed her to own the copyrights and publishing of her songs. Additionally, she started her own record label, Dolly Records, in 2007.
