As the Queen of Country and indisputable music legend, Dolly Parton has performed to millions of fans at packed auditoriums all over the globe.

“I don’t go out that much and just live a simple life actually,” she says. “I look like a party doll but I’m pretty much a homebody when I’m not working; I love to be at home. I love to cook and read, and do piddly things around the house, womanly things.
