🕊️ UPDATE: Dolly Parton’s team says her work will continue for decades after her passing.
Just two days after the death of country music legend Dolly Parton at age 80, her longtime team is sharing new details about what she left behind.
According to longtime manager Danny Nozell, Dolly “worked up until the day she died” and spent years working with a handpicked team to create a roadmap for projects that could continue long after her passing.
Her team says fans who see future unreleased music, books, products, experiences and other projects released through Dolly’s official channels can know that Dolly herself had a hand in developing and approving them.
Among the projects already underway:
🎭 DOLLY: A True Original Musical on Broadway
🏨 Dolly Parton’s SongTeller Hotel
🏛️ Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum
☕ Cup of Ambition Coffee
🎬 A Dolly Parton biopic
📺 A docuseries and scripted television series
🎥 A musical documentary
🤠 A Billy the Kid animated series
🎤 A future Dolly avatar show
🎶 And additional projects still to be announced
It appears Dolly Parton made certain that while her life may have ended, her creativity, generosity and unmistakable spirit would continue reaching future generations.
Her family has announced that, at Dolly’s request, her funeral will be a small private service for immediate family. Fans wishing to honor her are encouraged to support Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, the literacy program that became one of the defining parts of her philanthropic legacy.
From all of us at SoCalTelevision.com, Dolly may be gone, but the incredible body of work she left behind ensures we have not heard the last from her. ❤️
