Special Episode: Dolly Parton

from Last Days Hosted by TMZ

On August 25, 2026, Dolly Parton — the singer, songwriter, actress, businesswoman, and philanthropist whose extraordinary gifts turned songs like Jolene, I Will Always Love You, and 9 to 5 into permanent parts of the American songbook — died at the age of 80. At the time of her death, Parton had spent more than six decades transforming herself from a girl raised in rural East Tennessee into the undisputed Queen of Country Music and one of the most beloved entertainers in the world. With her towering talent, irrepressible humor, rhinestone glamour, and unmistakable generosity of spirit, Dolly Parton became far more than a country music legend — she became a rare kind of cultural institution: an artist admired across generations, genres, and every corner of American life. Hosts: Jason Beckerman, Derek Kaufman
