News in: Dolly Parton Was ‘Afraid to Appear Human,’ Said 1 Interviewer…see more
It’s worked well for her, as she has maintained the support of her dedicated fan base for years.
In the 1970s, though, one reporter said Parton didn’t seem to want to be human.
many people didn’t seem to know what to do with her. She wore exaggerated outfits, wigs, and makeup and cracked jokes about herself, but she was clearly a talented artist.
Journalists began publishing pieces to see if she was really the way she presented herself. Dave Hershey of the New York Daily News did not believe she was fully genuine.
“I was sent down to do the ‘Dolly Parton — Is She For Real?’ story— what’s behind the cornpone charm,” he said in the book Dolly by Alanna Nash. “And it’s a very well-cultivated act, I think.
I tried to catch her at odd moments when she wasn’t hooked into her stage persona, but she always seems to be on. She’s just a very, very charming person, and you can’t catch her with her guard down.
I’ve done a lot of big-time celebrities in the last year and a half, but she is as tough to catch off-guard as anybody.”
