Lmfao I literally had that thought and came to the comments to say the same. She is an awesome human being. I wish more people were like her.

I believe Dolly Parton could have been a billionaire if she played her cards right, crushing everyone in her path and donating smaller amounts of money and doing only token gestures. Instead she works so hard for what she believes in, education and literacy. (Did you know her dad was illiterate? It drove her to invest so much in this cause.)

I really respect her.

She is a gem, and what real people who say they want to give back should look too.

When do we start a new church where we try to be as good a person as Dolly Parton? Truly a legend.
