"Dolly Parton came from humble beginnings: She grew up with eleven siblings in Sevier County, Tennessee. Born January 19, 1946, her parents paid the doctor who assisted at her birth with a sack of cornmeal though some sources claim it was oats. Dolly was born into a musical family and learned to play the guitar when she was seven. She gave her first performance on television at age ten."
"Multiple sources have reported Dolly Parton's IQ to be at least 140. Her first song, which entered the US country charts on January 21, 1967, was "Dumb Blonde." In it, she sings "this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool". It was a bold start for her entry into 1960s showbusiness, at the time dominated by men. "I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb and I also know that I'm not blonde," she said of the stereotype."
