I grew up seeing her on the Porter Wagoner Show, etc. before she was famous. I liked s few of her early songs, not so much afterwards. She was a very talented person, but I thought her and Kenny Rogers had conspired in a plot to destroy country music back in the day. I admired Dolly's fortitude. She was born into a very poor family in Appalachia and achieved much. She was benevolent and supported many causes. She was also an advocate for taking the COVID vaccination, writing a jingle to the tune of "Jolene" promoting taking the vax. I'm not implying that is what got her, just stating a fact. She made some films, but like Elvis, she was a better singer than an actor IMHO. She was/is a "fixture" of Americana that will not be forgotten anytime soon.
