Dolly Parton is a now doctor.
Dolly became Dr. Dolly on Friday when she received an honorary doctorate of humane and musical letters from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.Just think, I am Dr. Dolly, she said receiving the honor.
1,069 students graduated from the College of Arts and Sciences on Friday and gave Dolly a standing ovation as she received her plaque.
When people say something about Double-D, they will be thinking something entirely different, she announced.
When Dolly was asked to give advice to the crowd she said, What has worked for me, may not work for you. Take for instance, what has worked for me? Wigs, tight clothes, push-up bras, high heel shoes?five inch high heel shoes. All I've got to say is, take my advice and some of you boys out there may find yourself on a little different career path.
However, concerning her own rags to riches story she did say I would like to think that they can look at me after all these many years and know that dreams can come true.
