Dolly Parton shared that her husband, Carl Dean, felt extremely uncomfortable attending public industry events. After one awards show, he expressed that he would not attend again.
Parton recalled Dean's words: 'He said, 'Look, now I want you to do everything you want to do, and I wish you the best, but don't ever ask me to go to another one of these damn things because I ain't going.''
She emphasized the importance of maintaining a personal connection, stating, 'Every day, I put on some makeup and fix my hair because I think, ... I'm not going to just kind of go home and just flop on him.'
Parton revealed Dean's disinterest in the music spotlight, noting, 'He loves music, but he's not the least bit interested in being in it, ... And he told me that right up front.'
