Lunch Break Videos: Celebrating the legendary Dolly Parton’s birthday with some of her tunes
There are many reasons Dolly Parton is ageless – and I’m not even talking about any of her trips to the “dentist.”
This beloved star, who turns 67 today, is forever young because of her attitude and enthusiasm towards life. She’s always writing new songs, recording new albums and she even returned to the big screen in a new movie last year (Joyful Noise).
Dolly really just makes the world a better place.
I’ve had an increased appreciation for her in recent years because of her speaking out more about LGBT equality and about being accepting of all people. It’s important to have a mainstream country music legend doing so.
And then there is her embrace of gay twins Gary Lane and Larry Lane and their documentary Hollywood to Dollywood.
She has truly shown what a generous spirit has.
Happy birthday to this national treasure!

Dolly is the most amazing, beautiful, sweet, caring, real, down to earth, talented, generous and inspirational person EVER!!! She really is the greatest. She does not judge or condemn anyone, she loves and accepts everybody for who and what they are. This is one of the many, many reasons why I love her so much. If more people were like Dolly the world would be a much better place. Met her in Adelaide, South Australia on her Better Day World Tour, I was a complete nervous wreck but she was so incredibly sweet and gave me the warmest most comforting hug! Happy Birthday Dolly, I will always love you
