Dolly, Dolly, DOLLY!! Yes people, Country music superstar Dolly Parton is probably one of the most famous blondes in the world! She grew up a "Backwoods Barbie" in the smoky mountains of Tennessee, and first broke into the Nashville music scene in 1967 with a single, Dumb Blonde (although she had been working as a songwritter for a few years prior). She released a string of top ten singles, and two shot to Number 1 in 1974,  Jolene and I Will Always Love You (later covered by Whitney Houston for the 1992 film The Bodyguard, also a Number 1 $ingle). She also tried her hand at acting in hit films like 9 to 5 and Steel Magnolias. She was the third most photographed person in the world during the 80's, behind only the Pope and Madonna (as Dolly said in her autobiography, not the Madonna usually associated with the Pope). Over the last 50 years, Dolly has had over 25 Number 1 singles and a record breaking 41 Top Ten Country albums!! She's known for her vast collection of blonde wigs (she even had her own wig line in the 90's), a penchant for pink and purple eye shadow, a rather...er LARGE bosom and her naughty sense of humor. She loves makeup, glamour and rhinestones....and even has her own theme park!! Who's donning a floor length sequin evening gown and coming to Dollywood with me....?

Bob Mackie?
