With 11 siblings, you’d thing tensions would run high in the family. However that’s not the case, all of the Parton’s are very close! Although we have to say that Dolly’s fame caused some tension with her sister Stella. Heck, Stella even wrote about their iffy relationship in her tell all book. As Dolly was getting more famous, Stella felt pushed aside, she said “Dolly found every reason in the world to keep me as far away as possible and over the years I finally gave up and let her have it.”
