"This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago, before I fully absorbed it as a future reality. As her head of security for more than two decades, a role my father Larry held before me, I have imagined the heaviness of this moment but haven't truly felt it until now," he said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Over the decades, Parton had built a legacy as a performer, songwriter, actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist.</p><h2>Trump announces national tribute for Dolly Parton</h2><p>Mourning her death, President Donald Trump has announced that American flags will be lowered for a week. "Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest country singers, and far beyond, ever, has just passed away. This is a true loss for millions of people. There has never been anyone like her, and never will. In her honor, I am lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one-week period beginning tonight at 6 p.m. Rest in peace, Dolly! The world loves you. President Donald J. Trump," he posted on Truth Social.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/dolly-parton-global-icon-and-queen-of-country-music-dies-at-80-1787682229929"><strong>Dolly Parton, global icon and queen of country music, dies at 80</strong></a></p><h2>Tributes pour in from entertainment industry</h2><p>As the heartbreaking news spread, artists from different generations and genres remembered the woman behind classics such as Jolene, 9 to 5 and I Will Always Love You.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sir Paul McCartney called Parton a “magnificent star” and recalled, "She was so bubbly and full of life, it is difficult to take in the news that she has passed.

<h2>Politics remembers Dolly Parton</h2><p>She generally avoided political debates during her lifetime; she had spoken openly about her desire not to divide her audience.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/dolly-parton-reveals-why-she-goes-to-bed-in-full-face-of-makeup-since-1980s-649264"><strong>Dolly Parton reveals why she goes to bed in full face of makeup since 1980s</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“I don’t like to get involved in politics, because first of all, I have as many Republican fans as I do Democrats. I don’t want to offend anybody, I have a right to myself,” she told USA Today in 2020. “Like God gave us free will, America gave us free speech, but you’ve got to be responsible for anything you say and do.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Former President Bill Clinton remembered her as “one of a kind,” while former Vice President Kamala Harris praised her career and philanthropic work. Hillary Clinton also spoke about Parton's commitment to literacy, writing, “Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could.”</p>

<p>Parton had built an extraordinary career by collecting Grammy awards, recording several chart-topping songs and becoming a member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame.</p>

Her demise was announced by her nephew and longtime head of security, Bryan Seaver, in a video message. "This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago, before I fully absorbed it as a future reality. As her head of security for more than two decades, a role my father Larry held before me, I have imagined the heaviness of this moment but haven't truly felt it until now," he said. Over the decades, Parton had built a legacy as a performer, songwriter, actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Trump announces national tribute for Dolly Parton Mourning her death, President Donald Trump has announced that American flags will be lowered for a week. "Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest country singers, and far beyond, ever, has just passed away. This is a true loss for millions of people. There has never been anyone like her, and never will. In her honor, I am lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one-week period beginning tonight at 6 p.m. Rest in peace, Dolly! The world loves you. President Donald J.

Sir Elton John said he was “shocked and devastated” by the news. "A giant of an artist - unique and irreplaceable, with the kindest heart”. Parton's 9 to 5 co-star Jane Fonda wrote, “I am devastated. I just learned that Dolly has moved on.

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>“As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures,” she wrote at the time. “As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon! In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She continued to reassure fans, “While I’ll still be able to work on all of my projects from here in Nashville, I just need a little time to get show ready, as they say. And don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet. But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more big adventures with all of you.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Concerns grew further in September when Parton withdrew from attending the Motion Picture Academy’s Governors Awards in November, where she was slated to receive the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Though initially expected to accept virtually, she ultimately stepped back from all appearances, despite maintaining a brave front on social media in recent months.</p><h2>Final Creative Projects</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Parton’s retreat from the spotlight occurred only within the past year. Before her hiatus, she remained intensely active, shaping and attending performances of "Dolly: An Original Musical" during its pre-Broadway run at Belmont University’s Fisher Center in Nashville in July 2025.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She also spearheaded "Dolly Parton’s Threads: My Songs in Symphony," a touring production combining live orchestral arrangements, guest singers, and video appearances by Parton. She was present for its world premiere in Nashville in March.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hall of Fame Legacy &amp; Rock Era Her 2022 induction into the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame served as a late-career highlight. Though she initially demurred—stating she was not a true rocker—she relented following overwhelming public and industry support. She fully leaned into the genre with her 2023 duet-filled album, “Rockstar.”</p><h2>Biggest hit: ‘I Will Always Love You’</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Parton's signature composition remains "I Will Always Love You," penned after ending her partnership with Porter Wagoner in 1974. She topped the country charts with the track twice (in 1974 and 1982). Whitney Houston’s iconic 1992 rendition for The Bodyguard soundtrack spent 14 weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. pop charts and sold 4 million single copies, leading an album that went on to sell 45 million copies globally.'</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Screen stardom and production success</h2><p>In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Parton expanded into film and television, starring in three variety shows and iconic movies such as 9 to 5 (earning a Golden Globe nod and a smash title track), The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and Steel Magnolias. Behind the camera, she partnered with manager Sandy Gallin to produce hit projects, including the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series and the Steve Martin/Diane Keaton Father of the Bride feature films.</p><h2>Humble Beginnings</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When pop stardom faded in the mid-1980s, Parton reaffirmed her traditional country roots with two acclaimed Trio albums alongside Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, followed by three celebrated bluegrass records with Sugar Hill Records.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Her enduring legacy includes her Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, near her birthplace in Sevierville. Her honors include the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame (1986), Country Music Hall of Fame (1999), Songwriters Hall of Fame (2001), National Medal of Arts (2005), and Kennedy Center Honors (2006).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Born January 19, 1946, as the fourth of 12 children in an impoverished rural family, her childhood hardship—including clothes hand-sewn from scrap fabric—inspired her signature song "Coat of Many Colors." Raised in a devout, musical household, she began singing publicly as a child in the Church of God.</p>

At the same time, The Odyssey is a story of redemption, of penance, of loyalty, of learning from mistakes. Above all, it talks of the futility of war and that perhaps should be a good enough reason to watch this film. If there is any film that you need to watch this weekend, it should be The Odyssey."
