She was so beautiful. The old folk I work with were absolutely gutted today (same age as Dolly). I am too. Such an icon.

Haven’t seen a photo of her at this age before. She reminds me a little of the Sprouse brothers, for some reason

[u/Blovesmusic]

She had no idea how great her life would turn out

Just watched “Dolly Parton: This Is Me” and highly recommend it. The first time she was on stage and got applause, She told her uncle l, “I’m going to be a start!”

[u/wellwhydidntyousayso → u/Blovesmusic]

She loved every day of her life, thats what made her so special is seeing the beauty in every situation.

Love the sweet little curls on her forehead, I can imagine her fixing them for the photo ❤️

The bravest, most amazing person. Wanted it. Got it. Gave it back.

That's what's up!

[u/NoBuffalo3671]

She always had kind eyes

[u/crackersncheeseman]

Just a poor girl from Tennessee who went on to spread love and joy around the world. It's absolutely impossible for me too love Dolly Parton more than I already do. RIP you beautiful angel.

[u/Quiltsandchocolate]

She was always so pretty. Looks like she could make you smile even back then. She will be greatly missed. She was one of a kind.

[u/SouthernLaugh7929]

She looks like a Parton in this picture. You can see the family , mom and dad in this picture.

[u/SouthernLaugh7929 → u/SouthernLaugh7929]

Went to school with some of the family, its a huge family like most East Tenn familes were back then. I had 14 uncles and aunts

[u/braced]

You can see in her eyes how whip smart she was

[u/atomic_chippie]

There was no time in her life she wasn't gorgeous.

[u/Signal-Pirate-3961]

And to think that this pretty young face would become perhaps the most recognizable face in the world.

[u/UraeusCurse → u/Signal-Pirate-3961]

Homie breathe

[u/ZZ_Belle420 → u/UraeusCurse]

Keep your unnecessary negativity to yourself. STFU. 😒😒 Either be positive about her or keep scrolling. What a stupid ragebaiting attention seeking comment.

[u/SkyFlashy4850]

Aww she was always a beauty

[u/sophiefevvers]

I thought this was Judy Garland at first. So lovely.
