Dolly Parton Turns 78! Everything in Store for Her This Year

Transcript

00:00 Come on, Miss Dolly. Dolly Parton gave everybody a show when she performed in a Dallas Cowboys

00:11 cheerleader uniform last Thanksgiving, and we are extra grateful for Dolly today because

00:16 it's her birthday. So we're taking this Parton party straight to the ET vault.

00:22 From Thanksgiving until the 19th of January, which is my birthday, I do nothing but celebrate.

00:32 Leave it to Dolly to gift us on her birthday, releasing a rock star deluxe album, which

00:36 includes four never before heard songs, including a flip on this hit.

00:41 I feel very good about myself. I don't think age will ever bother me. I'm no angel. I've

00:51 made my mistakes. Do whatever. But here I am, and I'm just hoping that I can be somebody

00:56 that could be inspirational.

00:58 Oh, Dolly, you are definitely inspiration. At 78, she's up for a Grammy Award. She's

01:03 turning her life story into a Broadway musical, and she's working with Reese Witherspoon to

01:08 transform her novel, Run, Rose, Run, into a movie. All that and looking good while doing

01:13 it.

01:14 Makeup, Botox, and collagen and other nips and tucks.

01:18 You just got to be very careful not to overdo it, because you never know. Anytime you go

01:23 under the knife, you could come out looking not good. It's always a risk, and I'm always

01:28 -- every time I go in for anything, I think, "Oh, Lord, please, you know, let this all

01:33 work out fine."

01:34 It's like rolling the dice.

01:35 We will, we will rock you.

01:39 The country queen turned rock star will no doubt celebrate with her husband, Carl Dean.

01:43 What makes their 57-year union work?

01:46 I really believe that that was one of God's greatest gifts to give me, Carl Dean, because

01:51 he's so accepting and understanding. He's always allowed me my freedom to work, and

01:56 he's not jealous. He knows I'm always coming home. I know I'm always going home. We're

02:00 best buds.

02:01 Love you.
