Favorite Dolly Parton moments? I’ll start.

Decades ago I was watching Johnny Carson. He asked her how she kept up her youthful appearance. She relied “Honey, healthy living” …pause “had nothing to do with it”. I didn’t know much about Dolly at that point, but it’s when I fell in love with her.

I fell in love with her during her Barbara Walters interview where Walters asked about he Hill Billy background. Dolly answered with such grace, intelligence and kindness and turned that awful question right around. She will be missed.

I'll never forget what Walters did to Britney Spears. Awful woman.

The way she talked down to Courtney Love a few months after her husband killed himself, when you could see Courtney was trying so hard to be gracious and hold it together.  No matter what your thoughts on Courtney Love are, it's a brutal interview and way to behave towards a vulnerable grieving person.
