The wife has the special on Dolly "50 years at the Grand Old Opry"..that gal has had quite a run, has always had a humble personality, and a self deprecating side....

Quite an example in an industry with broken families.

On that first day in Music City, 18-year-old Dolly was doing her laundry at the Wishy Washy laundromat when Carl Dean, 21, drove by in his white Chevy pickup truck. He stopped to tell her she was going to get sunburned in her revealing outfit, then chatted her up as she went indoors to fold her clothes.
"My first thought was I'm gonna marry that girl," Carl said in a statement for the couple's 50th wedding anniversary in 2016. "My second thought was, 'Lord she's good lookin'. And that was the day my life began. I wouldn't trade the last 50 years for nothing on this earth."
Dolly was "surprised and delighted" that this tall, handsome man looked at her face when they were talking
—"a rare thing for me," she said—and "seemed to be genuinely interested in finding out who I was and what I was about."

She’s very smart, she memorized 9 to 5 script even the other Actors lines. They were amazed. Love My Dolly!
