- She must have a picture at home that is aging. She would look better more natural, she has sold herself to Hollywood. But, it must be working....

- I loved it when they showed Dolly the old clip with her Mom & Dad. She is as real as they come

- Seems strange to me that there was no mention of the person who 'found ' Dolly and made her a star. Sure, she had more talent than Porter, but it was his show that put her in the linelight. If it hadn't been for him, Dolly could well be a 61 year old, 5 foot, blonde, big boob singer wandering from bar to bar. REPORT THE WHOLE STORY!

You, as always, did an outstanding job of journalism on Ms. Parton. However, please ask her if she knows the Southern term "Indian giver." She fired 42 people, her longtime touring band, backstage crew, background singers, and tour administrative staff after giving her word that she would employ them for a specific number of years. This was done via a letter from her while they were touring in Europe last year. The tour still had the remaining months in the U.S. to go. So, these TRULY loyal folks toured with her until the tour concluded around Thanksgiving.
Also, ask her new manager, formerly with Bon Jovi, the top 100 country music classics of all time.
I am no longer a fan or supporter of Dolly. - Reply to this comment
- This was a nice piece on DP. MS failed to mention one of Dolly's greatest works, "Imagination Library". To provide children with free monthly books until age 5 will be one of her most memorable achievements.

- I think this was one of the best profiles the show has ever done. The first two segments were very heavy and this piece was a nice lighthearted profile of a woman who's an American classic. 60 Minutes was well balanced Sunday night, I enjoyed it very much. Keep up the good work.

- Nice piece on Dolly. What was missing, though, was any mention of the two men in country music who were most instrumental in helping Dolly break thru in what was then a very male dominated business. There should've been some mention of Porter Wagoner and Chet Atkins. That's all.

- Look, I like Dolly Parton as much as the next guy, but that was the puffiest puff piece that 60 minutes has pulled so far. Looks like paid advertising. What happened to investigative reporting? Your show is turning into just another bit of infotainment, so formulaic and trite.
This is a time when newspapers are failing and people are starved for substantive reporting on the economy and politics, the corruption and abuses that have led up the mess we are in. What are you guys doing? Seems like the only real reporting left on TV is PBS's Frontline.
Come back, 60 Minutes. We need you. - Reply to this comment
- Thank you, 60 Minutes, for reminding us what a wonderful person Dolly is! She truly is a genuine, classic, American sweetheart!
