Dolly did say that of herself 
So I gather.
C4 news did something, I think tonight. Obv in grauniad. I liked the big sculptures shown on C4. I don’t think there will be much recognition here - maybe the doctor?
Bless you Dolly! I thought she was fantastic!
For anyone who loves Dolly, the Grand Ole Opry are broadcasting a tribute to her, being the longest member, live on Youtube tonight Nashville time which is 7 hours behind us in France. My daughter messaged me to let me know as we all enjoyed going to see the shows which are always broadcast live.

Hilarious. I wonder if there’s a book of these quotes anywhere.
I loved the “it takes a lot of money for me to look this cheap”. I think she said it to Michael Parkinson.
Did she have health problems? seems young to go.
Partial hysterectomy some years back as a sufferer of endometriosis (sp) after a miscarriage meaning never having any children. Plastic surgery possibly playing a part too, not natural to put stuff into your body as we have seen with a lot of these vain women who are now suffering or look like monsters but I don’t think she had a huge amount done, mostly facial. If you see lots of her later photos, she always seems to have her hands covered in lace gloves or mesh, possibly to disguise age spots

This article also has details about the tribute later today.
‘Dolly died on August 25 in Nashville, after a short battle with cancer. Her husband, who stayed out of the spotlight, preceded her in death by just over a year. She and Carl Dean had been married for nearly 58 years when he died in March of 2025, and the superstar admitted in her final few months that she’d neglected her own health while caring for his.’

Dolly lives on, Washington zoo have named their new red panda cub after her. ‘Zookeepers aren’t sure how Dolly feels about her new name. But they say it matches the bold and feisty personality of their “most vocal” recent red panda cub.’
