During the Covid-19 pandemic, Dolly Parton, a cultural icon and country music star, remained busy by releasing a Christmas album, a Netflix musical, a book, a baking line, and signature ice cream. She also donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for coronavirus vaccine research and continued her philanthropic work by providing books to children through her Imagination Library program. Parton earned her second consecutive Grammy and topped 150 million donated books. Despite her glamorous image, Parton admits she hates exercise, loves food, and is thrilled by cheap makeup.
