- I don't particularly care for Donahue, especially his seemingly "holier than thou" attitude during this interview, but this is a great interview that covers so many aspects of Dolly's life. This is the first of two videos. Be sure to check out both for the full interview! =)
It's always about her looks. But we all know there is much more beneath the physical beauty. Male interviewers reveal their focus often. But, Dolly always bypasses their male attention and shows her intelligence, integrity, honesty and pride in who she is and where she comes from. She is in complete control of any derogatory intentions from women and men.
Oh if you think Phil Donahue is shovenistic towards Dolly check out an old interview with Barbara Walters when Dolly was young. Anyone else that didn't have Dolly's grace & heart would have walked out it was disgusting.
She's a genius ❤️
@@secretwatcher9922 I've seen it.
One of the many, many things I love about her is she’s not afraid to make fun of herself or laugh at herself! She usually beats them to the punch line… she knows people often joke about her looks, but has said many times, there’s a heart beneath the boobs and a brain under the hair. She’s even made jokes about modeling her iconic look after the town tramp where she grew up!
She is striking. As she said, she likes and welcomes the attention, in a respectful manner.
I grew up in Tennessee. I am 66 and watched Dolly all my life. She is self made which makes her true in my book. Such a talent. Love Dolly.
Dolly is such an inspiring communicator! I wish I could answer questions that well.
Boy, I didn’t know what a jerk Donahue was until now. Dolly is a gem! Anointed by the Lord!
I love that she is who she is; she makes no apologies and she owns it! She can indulge herself in silly things one minute, and she is generous and humble in the next, or at the same time.
Dolly is so real and her comment that she sees all like family? This is the best example of being human. Loving, giving, smart, and beautiful. Thank you Dolly.
I love this woman! I could have the worst day and after listening to Dolly speak, an instant smile comes on my face!
amen on that a women u would be happy to come home too
comalaism
Me too, she always uplifts my mood. She’s like a natural anti-depressant ♥️♥️
Me too and I wish I had 1/2 of her energy!! She is a smart woman too and must have had a wonderful childhood to have such a positive attitude 😊
Me too!
Love you Dolly! Thank you for your polite honesty! It’s endearing & lovely. Always loved your voice & all your songs & your movie 9 to 5 was so much fun!
Wow very personal stuff they're asking and shes being so classy about it. I didnt know she couldn't have children. I love her. Always have.
Just how amazing is Dolly! Smart, beautiful, gifted and such a sweetheart. God's gift to earth.
I wish more showbusiness stars could be like Dolly, glamorous but down to earth and not completely full of themselves.
Interrupt Dolly one more time...
Haha yeah but they are on a time limit 😂 old school TV for you
Loll!
Oprah did it too. Constantly interrupting her.
Next was... Put up your dukes.. Pow! Lol!
Lol 😂
Not only beautiful....beautiful inside and out .she is a coat of many colours ...she is a rare diamond.
It’s so rude to ask questions about her boobs, hair, weight loss, her overall “trashy” look (she doesn’t look trashy)....it’s just not nice.
It may seem that way at first, but she doesn’t get offended. She’s so graceful and gracious about it. I’m sure she thinks if her answer to those questions can help anyone else feel more comfortable or see an inquiry like that in her same light, she’s glad she could help. What a lovely soul she is.
@@bean0615 yes
It's a different time. You could talk about a woman's weight and shape all the time and not be criticized for it. It wasn't just Donahue.
get over it cup cake!
She looks kinda trashy
Donahue is super condescending. Dolly - wonderful, as always
I've only just seen this - it's like she's in an interrogation where she's not allowed to finish a sentence. Jack a**
So great Dolly is such a great person!
Yes Donahue so condescending ugh.
Typical old fashioned male, the little woman needs home to drive the interview. Rack off! She’s amazing!
But don’t worry Dolly’s got it all together and got the magic. She’s the winner for sure. Go Dolly! xx
He's from ny. And you can tell
you are ridiculous, Andi.
@@nikkijo9999 He's from Chicago, I think.
She's so open. I respect that.
I can't believe I used to think Phil Donahue was interesting to watch. But Dolly can make any show sparkle.
Such charm and intelligence , Dolly is so humble while being a musical prodigy .
Dolly is very intelligent. Don't be dismayed by her Smokey Mountain simpleness. One can grow up poor, but still have intelligence. She has made 500 million & controls her empire. She owns the rights to anything she does not record companies. She is very talented and has a brilliant business mind. (Judy Garland lost all her $$ to managers & husbands.)
Amen friend I am from tn and actually work in the business but ppl think we aren't smart because we're southern pssh
I enjoy seeing how people used to dress. I was a baby when this came out so I missed this but it’s cool to see how everyone did their hair and makeup.
I love this interview!! Dolly is so honest and genuine
I always watch Donahue when I was sick because he helped me fall asleep :)
That's the way that the 80's were...…. Nothing condescending about Phil.... that was his above normal sense of humor.
I grew up with Dolly on the Porter Wagnor show...…. and watched her break away. She has soared and has a beautiful heart!
And since this, Dolly's done wonderful thing with Dollywood, and should be applauded!
Thanks for this! Totally agree in that I don't care much for Donahue, but Dolly is always the best, and I can relate to anyone devoted to her!
Yesssssss!!!!!! :)))
She is lucky to have such a supportive understanding husband. Many women do not. Love that dress.
She’s SO SO wonderful!
She is a doll. Such a classy lady. I am in love
Seriously can anybody say they hate Dolly ?? Nope, this woman is loved through and through ♥️♥️
Carl Dean sees through the sparkles and the phony crap. But Dolly is royalty this is what she is, she’s one of a few that were born to be in this business because she’s real. Elvis and Michael Jackson are two others. See she can’t help it that she was born a diamond.
She is so damn smart & beautiful both then & now...💜🤓
Donahue was such a condescending jerk..at least he had a bit of class by doing this interview! Mrs. Parton has loads of class, respectful dignity
and enormous musical TALENT. 🤔🙇🏻♀️🙏🏽🔍😉🇺🇸
Dolly your my idol!, very strong , kind woman & so talented!!. Love you!!
Love her. All these years later she's still the same goodhearted person.
Dolly has the sexiest smile.
Fat, skinny, tall, short.....who does not just love Dolly! We love you DOLLY!!!!
People like Phil said Dollywood wouldn’t work Hahahs now look at it. Lol.
Amazing her business savvy smarts and she never had to go to college. Washed her clothes in the motel sinks and they were wrinkle free material, to save money she said. One of the greatest musicians to ever live
I'm from East Tennessee, and I've lived all over the country and i can tell you, her sense of humor is very typical of East Tennessee. There's not a lot we won't make fun about.
Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees wrote " Islands in the Stream" for Dolly and Kenny Rogers. I love Dolly though. "A Coat of Many Colors is my favorite by her.
This wouldve been painful with anyone else because of how gross the interviewer was but…SHE’S INCREDIBLE!!! SHE IS SO SPARKLY AND WONDERFUL
I cringe at Donahue's 1970's sexism and rudeness.
get over it you liberal idiot!!
Right! He keeps answering for her and interrupting.
It was his interviewing technique. Loved Donahue! Love love love Dolly!
Right? lol Pretty wild watching in 2019, but she's very classy about it.
Hes watching!
Well im sure he is, because he loves your show :)
I certainly don’t miss it.
It sure would have been helpful if the audience actually listened so they didn't ask the same questions over and over again.
Hehe soo true 😍
Did you see what the audience looked like? Wow. No one wore make up and all looked very tried.
I love Dolly . It's ironic how real she really is.
How is Donahue going to interrupt Dolly and correct her when she’s talking to the black Emmanuel about getting into country music, like he knows the country music market better than her...🙄.
Pink Sky:I felt the same way! Like he is the expert on how to get into the Country Music Industry! He thinks he is the ONLY person who has anything to contribute to ANY subject! Obviously, I really don't like him very much!
She is a LADY. Such an intelligent beauty.
I get the feeling the woman at 3:01 (not clapping) isn't a woman's woman or very happy.
Charles James I noticed her too. I noticed several women intentionally not clapping even earlier on.
@@melh.5752 you have to remember this is the 80s, many of the women in the audience who were older were born in the 20s and 30s, not the same attitude or approach towards like as there is today.
@@melh.5752 Because Dolly was not accepted well early in her career. Dolly went against what was accepted in our culture like Marilyn Monroe. Sex appeal wasn't promoted and Dolly was in Play Boy. They thought she was a tramp, hussy, prostitute like. Look at the difference today in audiences.
Miss Dolly has so many things going through her mind, I don't think she would be happy to be at a slow pace
A very beautiful lady and person with an amazing voice
With the passing of Miss Betty, Dolly is the new Queen of America. We must protect her at all cost. 🥰
Omg so true! I felt so much comfort with Betty White and Dolly too! Both “light” ❤Such great role models
OMG love all of your vids, thank u so much for uploadin' them!!! im soo addicted to her too
So glad you like the videos! She's such a sweetheart and an inspiration!
DevotedToDolly
sure she is! Do u have some more??:)) I'd be grateful for more uploading to come!!:)
lateksowykociak I do have a lot more videos. I got away from adding videos on here for several years because I was so busy with work and college. But, I am going to try to make an effort to upload videos regularly now. So, keep checking! =)
DevotedToDolly
Oh that would be awesome if you find some time!:) Lookin forward!:) Thx again! Btw Im Kate:)
Her voice.... amazing.
At 21:05 you see the most handsome, adorable gay man. (It takes one to know one.) I think of when this took place - 1986 - and truly hope he is still here enjoying Dolly.
It’s such a shame that later movie with Jane and Lily was never made! It sounds great! Colin Huggins was an incredible writer.
I have never had the pleasure of meeting Dolly - not yet - but I have met Jane and Lily and they couldn’t be kinder or more gracious to their supporters.
Maybe he made it, maybe not
I just turned 40 last week. I'm a bit overweight not much and now's the time apparently. 👍🥰
Me too!
She handles it with grace but I'd kill for an old interview that isn't obsessed with her weight
It wasn't / ISN'T her weight . . . it's that unbelievable incredible figure ! Most of us fall far short !
@@carolmartin2503 I agree, great figure then at 40 and still incredible at 75
@@carolmartin2503 okay, then I’d kill for an old interview that isn’t obsessed with her figure
What did that change for you?
she’s such an inspiration to be true to yourself in a world that’s always sending mixed signals and standards. She’s so lovely 🥰
Donahue always gave me the ick! Thank God Dolly has such class and humor or this interview could have been a disaster.
The best human been I justo love her
Immense musical talent, gorgeous busty petite body, lovely looks, sexually mature, dignified, intelligent, wise, working class, family oriented, loving, kind, self effacing, respectful, genuine, honest. What an icon. She brilliantly guards her private life and never lies and it rightly stays private and she's entitled to it!
Phil is that a wig your wearing?
She is jolly, because of her upbringing. Plus, the beautiful place she was raised.
dolly is a scammer. she stole my money
She created an image that sold while she built an empire. She’s a blessed soul and has given more to this country that any billionaire has ever tried. Dolly is the epitome of the American dream and doing well and not being greedy.
I have ADORED this woman since I was a young teenager!
amazing woman,
so many amazing women get muted by idiots like Donahue, they're conditioned to be soft and their poise leads them to lose their ground and joy, Dolly's strong, so strong. I wonder if it's the humble and supportive environment she was brought up in that contributed to her great being. imagine if all humans were half as good as Dolly Parton
I'm glad Dolly is nothing like Jane Fonda. I don't believe she would have been near a popular! Jane is a holier than thou Hollywood feminist.
Dolly is down to earth even with her wealth.
Dolly's Heart is what makes her so beautiful . ❤️
Jane Fonda has also been just as big a gift to the world as Dolly. Both of them amazing women.
@@JackOllie4 Nah, Jane Fonda aka Hanoi Jane shit on Our Vietnam Veterans and America she's trash!
I like dolly she's butiful person she looks like she would be Easy to talk to I love her laugh Love and prosper to you miss Dolly With the tip of a hat.
It's mind boggling to think that she could not watch all hours and hours of film she has been in. She is so remarkable!
It’s wonderful seeing Dolly looking so ravishing at her age!!! Go Dolly
She had just turned 40 iat the time of the interview, which she stated.
Ugh. Wow he's awful. Talking about her body. Also mentioning that he knows men that wouldn't let her out the house- disgusting like... she was and is hard working what's the point in saying that.
What a wonderful creation, God made to lift her voice.
Love her! Thank you!
Your truly a good hearted person Miss Dolly Pardon
Never thought about how much I’ve missed Donahue in the afternoons. I wonder what he’s working on now?
Multiple people asking the same question...
We love you, Dolly! You’re beautiful and brilliant!♥️
“Get back in your truck and do your job!” Donahue is such an arrogant elitist.
Dolly is anointed
I adore you, Dolly!
Donahue is really condescending, and a fair number of his questions didn't age well (all those comments about her weight!!!), but Dolly is the same delightful, kind, self-possessed role model she is now, 30 years later.
Pretty rude, personal questions. She responded with both class and "street" (as we say in my country)
Self made creative brilliance. 💙
I think Donahue proves the theory of the 'Mansplaining' phenomenon!
It’s not “mansplaining” as much as it’s just “assholesplaining” - not all men are like him
LOL
GET OVER IT CUP CAKE!!
Robert Levitt:Robert, you make cupcakes sound like a bad thing. Go back to school and increase your vocabulary.
judy...go FUCK your self!
These are all really great questions.
I was impressed.
Dolly Parton,I want everyone to know she has been my inspiration most of my life!! That is the phrase that I am sure she hears more often than not! So I have to go one step further....she was the rubber tube that someone throws out to you to save you from drowning . I was a little girl when she gave her first concert with Porter Wagoner ,in Georgia! It was the only time I was ever going to. It saddens me because as much as I love her,I can’t afford to go to any of her events! I still pray for her ,as she will always be my inspiration in m life, even though mine didn’t turn out to be the best!
the sexism coming from Donahue.... thank god times are a changing... Imagine telling a host these day to stand up and be put on display because she lost some weight?
get over it cup cake!!
@ Rober Levit wtf is wrong with you cupcake? You’re such a douche bag! 🤣
Oprah did the same
T W he misses the misogyny
What world are you living in? Girls now take selfies wearing almost nothing ....just because.
Omg! I didn’t realize how awful he is
Does she always wear those slip on high, high heels?
Steve Rosberg that just part of the Dolly look
Other than tennis shoes for a little exercise, yes she does. Her house slippers have somewhat of a heel as well. They’re not just for beauty. She’s short and lives in a regular height world. That world includes her own kitchen cupboards. Plus she says she’s worn them for so long, her legs hurt if she’s in a flat shoe for very long.
I love the question at 4:15!
Donahue is unbearable. But Dolly is wonderful, like always.
Phil always asked the most sexist questions or had the most sexist observations.
And he’s s liberal as they come, see?
Many men did that back then. You should see the Helen Mirren video on Parkingson or ANY Johnny Carson Tonight Show Interview with a woman. It was normal, but not right, and women just hid their annoyance about it. Was there, this is true. (Also, to the other poster, there weren't "liberals" in 1986 -- that was a BS term Reagan exploited. There were only regular people and the ultra religious moral majority freaks of Jerry Falwell, who didn't ask sexist questions but certainly did sexist sht out of the spotlight)
@@SueSnellLives You speak for women? Dolly exploits her femininity to her advantage and handles men very well. But then, as she has pointed out multiple times in multiple interviews, she loves men. Unlike the super sensitive, man-hating 3rd wave feminists today that really have nothing to complain about in this day and age...yet still do.
KG2018: I don't know about always as I did not watch his show back then! Now I remember why! I hate interviewers who have guests on their show but won't let them talk!
@@Po1itica11yNcorrect Women still do have a lot to complain about. Also, just because Dolly loves men doesn't mean she doesn't recognize the sexist behavior some of them display. Address the behavior instead of acting like it doesn't exist and maybe women will have nothing to complain about.
LOVE!!!
She has a good heart. 🙂
What was the year of this video?
I think someone mentioned '86. She was married for 20 years here and just celebrated 50 years.
@@charlesjames3328 40 @ 3:30 She said she had just turned 40 that January.
pop music
Before she started Dolly Wood 💓
Dolly is such a sweetie
Dolly is definitely her own person and her husband Dosnt control her !!
She is so cute isn't she!
Wow Donahue is a goof isn't he. Or is it just me.
He's a funny one, that's for sure :))
Seems like a bit of a tosser to me
He only makes her look better, as if she needs to.
No it's not you I always thought he was an idiot and a condescending prick
Yes, he’s a real creep.
Dolly!!🤟💓
Everything is about her husband and her looks, dude a creep
I never liked him and Barbara Walter. Barbara Walter had that same negative energy.
