I am a flight attendant and I have had the honor to serve her several times my very first time was from Toronto to Detroit and a few years later we went from Memphis to Nashville and as soon as she boarded she said “I have seen you before” and I told her when and she said “you are from the islands?” and I said yes I am from Puerto Rico and then she said you still cute as a button and of course I acted like a teenager…I just LOVE her🥰🥰🇵🇷🌈….she is truly a genuine down to earth humble woman…🥰🥰🥰🇵🇷🌈

A few years back I was a manager at a fine dining restaurant in Los Angeles that catered to a VIP crowd. One night a small group was coming in for a business dinner in one of the private rooms in the back. Dolly was the first to arrive. She had a driver and security who stayed in the lounge. I escorted her back and offered her a beverage while she waited. She asked for water. I came back with a small bottle of Evian and a wine glass with a slice of lemon. She said, and I kid you not, "Oh sweetheart, thank you so much, but I don't need the fancy stuff. I'm used to a jelly jar filled from the tap" She was the most real, genuine, appreciative, kind-hearted, funny, and an all-around likeable person. I dealt with hundreds of Hollywood A-listers while working there and nobody ever came close to as lovely a person as her. Period

"I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde." -- Dolly Parton

I believe Dolly Parton is what happens if an unusually gifted person is raised by their family with unusually high amounts of confidence, realness and _love._

this woman... you can't help but smile. I don't think there's a more genuine, likeable celebrity out there, from anywhere.

I love that she always acknowledges everyone in the room.

Nobody cuts across all demographics like Dolly. Young, old. liberal, conservative, etc. Everybody loves Dolly.

She flew through Cleveland when I was working for a major airline. My coworker asked her if she would call his answering machine and leave a message, so he could use it has the message others would hear when they called his home. She did it! She said some thing like, “ Hi, this is Dolly. Dan can’t come to the phone right now, because we’re out of having SOOOME fun. Just leave your name and number and he’ll get back to you as soon as he can.” 😁 I also asked for an autograph for my husband, whose name is Carl. She said, “why, honey, my husbands name is Carl too.” ♥️ I adore her, as do so many.

I've never been a fan of country music, but I've always been a fan of her. She's just always come off as real, down to earth and so sweet.

I just love how Conan doesn't go to the classic "dolly, don't you think you need to tone it down." He immediately just compliments how gorgeous she looks and appreciates the effort she puts into the look. Love him and Love her

Dolly is, indeed, a jewel. People, this interview is from 2005. She was 59 at the time of the interview.

I don’t think this magnificent woman has an evil bone in her body. Every interview or appearance she’s always so sweet and genuine. She’s definitely a national treasure❤

I love Dolly, she is just the most sweetest kindhearted person.

She is such a treat to watch, always has been. I am glad she kept her personality.

She got that old school southern charm, so polite and humble even though she is a superstar that hasn't gone to her head, it's so refreshing to see. Just hearing hearing voice and accent makes you all warm inside, such a lovely Lady.

She's a legend. I met her EXTREMELY briefly when I worked at a radio station in NY. She walked into the studio and literally lit up the room. It was only a few seconds and she made an impression that fast. She really has got it. It has to be mostly genuine; no one could fake that for 50+ years.

Its funny cuz absolutely NOBODY… Has anything bad to say about Dolly… No matter what walk of life you’re in everybody loves this woman.

She gives tons of books to children through a foundation she created. She is a good person.

I truly believe she is one of the greatest people to have graced this earth, God really blessed us when he shared Dolly with us!

The hilarious part is that I too, got mistaken for a hooker. Back then cell phones weren't readily available and there weren't any telephone booths nearby - I was waiting for a friend from college to come by and help me move to my new apartment. She was suppose to be there by 8AM. She never showed up. I spent all day walking in front of the old apartment building trying to keep an eye out for her. A cop saw me and asked what I was doing there - I innocently said I was waiting for my friend. For almost 8 hours he kept asking me on and off - what are you still doing here - I repeated - waiting for my friend. He asked me one last and final time and I blew my top and asked why do you keep asking me that - I told you I was waiting for my friend. He then realized I was telling the truth when he saw my luggage just by the apartment door. He laughed and said I thought you were a hooker. Needless to say - this country bumpkin was horrified, embarrassed and mad at the same time. He & his partner went off duty and helped me move.

Dolly Parton is a standup comedian in a parallel reality

America’s sweetheart. Charming, comical, brainy, talented, benevolent. Such a wonderful person all-around. Reminds me of my beloved late grandmother, who was a huge Dolly fan. 🥰

I am over 50 and I can remember watching Dolly in her early days. She has never changed. A very bubbly friendly attractive woman who NEVER is depressed always cheerful woman who distract us from the problems of the world. I have a cousin who had a personality EXACTLY like Dolly. WE NEED more woman like her in this world! I am still stunned she can still keep her figure!

She’s so naturally funny. She doesn’t have to try. And she’s got a heart of gold. We need to protect this woman at all costs! She’s too good. She’s another Betty White. We need her until she’s 100+!

Dolly is a national treasure.

LOVE Dolly! She's an amazing singer, but I think everyone can learn how to be a better human being from her!

All ive ever heard is how she's such a wonderful person, like truly truly a gem of a woman. She' has such a story and testament to her life and upbringing. So humble even after obtaining so much. And she never strayed from being herself.

Her positive attitude is contagious, such a nice woman.

I love her confidence, in contrast to many other people who easily feel intimidated whenever their bodies are becoming a topic.

I love her for being honest about her appearance. As she once said, 'I spend a lotta money to look cheap" Ar least she is honest about it.

She is so funny. I love Dolly and her ability to be brutally honest about herself. Can you believe she will be 80 in 4 years??

It’s the outside of a woman that attracts you, but it’s the inside of a woman that keeps you with her. Dolly is a keeper! What a wonderful, humble lady. Always liked her.

I,ve NEVER wished success on a huge level like Dolly,s achieved, but she is the only one who I believe truly DESERVES it!!

Her story about NY had me in stitches. She's HILARIOUS!!!

She’s a phenomenal story teller and songwriter.

More of a Pearl Jam fan myself, but how could anyone not love her? You always feel better just listening to her speak, let alone perform. From 8 to 80, her appeal is universal. A true national treasure.

Anyone else rocking that much makeup and plastic surgery would get mocked online as being fake, but she is so genuinely loveable it is simply undeniable, I honestly can't imagine anyone not loving this woman

It is so strange for me to see her, after so many years, still so beautiful so charismatic. I remember watching her on the TV while I was a child .. my dream was to look like her one day. I'm not even close, but now looking at her, gosh she is still looking DIVINE and what a kind and genuine personality she have.. I can't hide it, I absolutely Adore her. Dolly Parton ♥ Forever!

she is so human and simple,easy going lady that i found myself smilling all thru the interview;i think she is one of the most beautiful creations we have in this age

Dolly is the truest form of a great human being. Love her, love her story's, and her great music!!

Such a sweet, kind hearted, southern woman. It would be such a better world if more people were like her. Love you Dolly!!❤❤💛

Dolly is who she is & nobody can take her dignity & class away from her no matter how hard they try she can roll with the jokes & still come away smiling .... she's a classy southern woman...

You'd have to be one truly miserable person to not love and enjoy Dolly as the kind, genuine, incredible (the list goes on) person that she is; This woman is a treasure.

Dolly looks great and her personality is so so genuine and sweet.

I just love this lady. She is a wonderful human being.

This woman 🤷🏻‍♂️ imagine being so talented and so smart and so kind and so funny and the list goes on and on and still manage to be so down to earth. Remarkable woman

What a sweet and humble lady!! Not making a fuss about ppl picking on her. God bless her.

I remember I was going thru a terrible time when those fires hit in the smokies. I'm from KY and decided to come down and put my problems aside for a bit. I came down and helped. This what I'm fixing to say hopes it touches a person. When I came down and worked in those mountains I came to realize real quick that I had no problems even though I did and still do but nothing compared to what fire victims go thru. This truly touch my heart. It was like a nuclear blast had went off and there was nothing. I was so saddened but I showed up with my helping hand everyday and the people I met both victims and volunteers actually pulled me thru my own problems. Dolly helped so many of her home God bless her over and over. We need to take lessons off of each other and be kind to one another no matter where your from. Believe me there's magic in those mountains.

This woman is a treasure. Both as a songwriter (whether you like country or not, she's a master of the craft) and as a person. She's a light in this world.

I just freaking LOVE Dolly. She is an amazing person, and she is stupendously talented. She deserves all of the success that she has achieved in her life and more. I’m so happy for her. I’m not a fan of country music, my husband and I love Dolly because she rocks.

This lady is probably the most real, doen to earth person you'll ever meet!

She gives all employees of Dollywood free education right? Just one of many things she does. An amazing person.

Can we get Dolly on the Conan Podcast???

Everyone gets happy in this woman's presence. She's the best. We love Dolly! 💛

"But that doesn't matter - well I love New York now", she says 😂 This woman is so talented and hilarious.

Dolly never forgets she is just like a lot of us.... fun loving, warm hearted, sincere... Hilarious personality and stays humble even with her successes in life she has accomplished. Pretty sure she is fun to be around....

I met dolly on a plane way back in the 70s, and I was 8 or 9. She was amazing, just sweet as strawberry jam.

Love her!! She hasn't let fame and fortune ruin her life. She really is the only famous person that is always down to earth. Who doesn't get a smile on their face when you see her!

When people say they don’t like country music, they mean bad country music, Dolly wrote masterpieces and songs that go beyond genre. It’s country but evergreen

Dolly is so damn cool. A true rockstar.

I love Dolly so much! Only she could the that NYC story in such a cheerful, charming way.

It's difficult to decide if Dolly is a better singer or better comedian. Or perhaps both. She's a wonderful storyteller.

Every time I see a Dolly Parton video on UKposts, I think 'no one can tell a Dolly Parton joke like Dolly Parton.' It doesn't matter what video it is, even if there isn't a Dolly Parton joke. She just makes me happy to see.

I've always been a Dolly fan, not because of what the tabloids seem to wanna keep writing about. She's a class act and I bet she is just a blast to be around; always so optimistic and full of boundless energy. I've probably had a low key celebrity crush on her for 35 years or better!

I can't believe that happened to her,I never told anyone about my similar experience, now I don't feel so embarrassed (35 years later)Her skin is amazing!What a beautiful woman!

She is one person I would love to meet she's so wholesome and real

Conan is just as genuine a human being as Dolly, what a sight to see these two together

Dolly Parton is a beacon of light. I wish she was my aunt.

Damn. This woman is awesome. Her story took quite a turn and I was laughing my ass off 🤣

Don't really know her music BUT from the interviews I've seen of her I absolutely LOVE her. She's humble, sweet, beautiful, direct and down to earth

She said, "I got some bongo stands" hahaha she is the absolute best.

Dolly is so incredible. She never gets old - in all ways.

I freaken love Dolly Parton. She is such a humble and down to earth icon. 🥰

The fact that Dolly wore green to share her common ancestry with Conan melted my heart. She is truly a living doll. Celtic pride!

Dolly is universally loved by people from all backgrounds. Such a beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit!

Dolly Rebecca Parton wrote the songs “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” in ONE DAY. She really wanted Elvis to record the latter. She heard him sing it, and his voice sent chills down her spine. Elvis agreed to record the song, but his greedy manager said, “Only if Elvis will own the rights to the song.” Dolly is one of twelve children. She said, “I can’t do that. I have family and I must leave them something when I’m gone.” Dolly was just starting out when she wrote “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You.” She’s so funny, too. She said as children, the children had to all sleep in two beds as they were so poor, but they had so much love in their family. If one peed the bed, all of the kids were soaking wet! She’s humble and admits to wearing wigs and having a LOT of plastic surgery. She once said, “We were so poor when I was growing up, that we couldn’t afford nail polish, makeup and new clothes, and I’m aware I go overboard with it all. But it costs a lot of money to look this cheap!” 😂 I love her sweet personality and the fact that she’s able to make fun of herself. She’s a GEM!

76 years, beautiful with a big heart and she sure can sing, so lovely ❤❤

I’ve ALWAYS had a great deal of respect for those of us who have great senses of humor & specifically can laugh at ourselves. What amazing gifts she’s been given in her life & has used all of them. Many of us can’t really say that.

Damn, I love her. She's a joy. So funny and sweet. I hope we have many more years with her incredible personality.

“It costs a lot of money to look this cheap” - Dolly Parton 🤣💯💯💯

I'm infatuated with Dolly Parton: been watching her interviews and listening to her songs non stop.

She is smart as heck and would be great to hang out with.

OMGosh! This interview gave me some insight into who she is, and I absolutely loved it! She's hilarious, cute, and looks like she's aging in reverse. You go girl!!! Now, she just may have to become one of my favorite country western entertainers. Great interview, thanks!

Dolly you are a National treasure, we love you wholeheartedly! We hope to see more of you. 😍

She's an ANGEL. Like literal angel on earth!

Dolly is sooooo adorable!!!! I love her!!

Why aren’t young people in Hollywood more like Dolly? It’s like current Hollywood is the polar opposite of this amazing woman. Shares love and joy wherever she goes ☺️!!!

This amazing woman is such a tonic! we need more good people in the world like this.

What a treasure. She just exudes joy

She is the QUEEN of PERSONALITY and very BEAUTIFULLY HUMBLE…..she carry herself with great pride for who she is👏👏👏👏👏👏

I love her. Sweet, down to earth and just a good person. I wish more stars were like her.

She always drops the best random story s 😂🤘🏾✨

Dolly is always sooo pure. Such a pearl. Such a treasure. And also, ummm since when did Conan look this attractive? Is it his very pleasant way if interviewing Dolly or his side profile is really just so good???

I love Dolly.🤩💯. So cool. So lovely. Her voice, so sweet and soothing. Plus her girlish laughter: the grace in it. So admirable. Thank you Dolly. Love you Dolly.💕

The humility of Dolly will never cease to amaze me. Amazing woman!

Such a great interview 💟💟💟

Dolly is SO endearing! It's IMPOSSIBLE not to be charmed by her, and she has an amazing, quick, BRILLIANT wit about her. One-of-a-kind. 🎈🎯❣

The reading books you sponsor, in Tennessee, has been the most generous practice. From Tennessee me, thank you Dolly Parton.

“I’m not packing now!”😂😂😂

there's something about her personality that's just amazing and always makes you smile.
