Her Love Life

Yes, Parton had time for love and certainly did not work continuously. The songstress got hitched to her long-time love Carl Thomas Dean in 1966. They tied the knot in Ringgold, Georgia, and Parton legalized her name changing it to Dolly Parton Dean, but professionally she kept her maiden name. Dean ran an asphalt paving company in Nashville, shying away from the public and has claimed to see Dolly perform only one time!
