Reflection: Dolly Parton always got the joke – but behind the laughter there was so much more (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Her blonde hair seemed to arrive a few seconds before the rest of her. It entered a room like an architectural feat, towering, immovable, impossible to ignore. The lashes cast delicate shadows across carefully lit cheeks. The nails punctuated every gesture. Sequins caught the light and sent it ricocheting around the room.
