Dolly Parton: Here I Am

Was it odd that Kenny Rogers and her movies with Burt Reynolds and Sylvester Stallone were left out? I learned a lot more about Dolly Parton in this.show. I loved her movie Coats of Many Colors.

This was a brilliant documentary filled with great interviews with Dolly and old footage pieced together to give us a little insight to some of her biggest hits and how she became the star she is. I really enjoy it even though I wouldn't necessarily say I am the biggest fan.

A well made documentary focusing on some of dollys more iconic songs and rolls, and just the persona that is Dolly Parton. Great use of archival footage and interviews from fellow musicians and friends.

I recently became more informed about Dolly Parton's impressive career, both in her early years and in her more recent projects. While I was grateful to find out more about her, I was disappointed to find that there was no mention of her friendship with Kenny Rogers. This was a significant part of her life that was left out, and it is strange that it was not included.

Kenny Rogers has since passed away, so I'm even more puzzled as to why Dolly Parton would not mention her friendship with him. It is a mystery that I hope I can get to the bottom of one day. Although I may never know why Dolly Parton chose to not include her relationship with Kenny Rogers in her story, I will always remember the impact he had on her life and career.

Seeing how planned out her career is and was and how driven she was is fascinating and shows what depth she has as a person. If you if are not a country music fan, you can't help but love her and you will love at least some of her songs.
