American singer-songwriter and actor Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80.
Parton died peacefully in Nashville, Tennessee, on Tuesday following a “brief battle with cancer,” according to her representatives
(via Fox News Digital). “Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity into everything she touched,” her team said in a statement.
“Her unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand. Whether it be the hundreds of millions of books donated through her invaluable Imagination Library or funding research that helped create a lifesaving vaccine used around the world, Dolly’s unconditional love for all people was the guiding force for her lasting impact.”
While Parton will best be remembered as the “Queen of Country,” she also starred in some of the biggest films of the 1980s. These include 9 to 5, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and Steel Magnolias. She was also in Rhinestone with Sylvester Stallone.
