Dolly Parton is a beloved country music singer, songwriter and occasional actress who has had numerous hit albums and songs over her four decade long career. She currently holds the record for a female country performer with 26 #1 singles, as well as 46 Top-10 albums. Besides her music, acting and philanthropy, Parton is also an owner and investor in the theme park Dollywood.
In May 2009, Parton was awarded with an honorary doctorate of humane and musical letters from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. The award confers upon Parton the title of "Dr." and on May 8, she told fans, "Just think, I am Dr. Dolly! So when people say something about 'Double-D,' they will be thinking of something entirely different."Associated Press: Just call her 'Dr. Dolly'... (May 8, 2009)
