Watch: Dolly Parton’s Most Memorable E! News Interviews With Jennifer Aniston & MoreShe might have had lots of movies, music and projects to promote in her life, but above all, Dolly Parton was wishing her fans love. The country music star’s family confirmed she died Aug. 25 at the age of 80, following a lifetime of lifting up the world with her music, philanthropy and personality—which she often generously shared with E! News over the years. In 1995, Parton posited one of her most famous lines in an interview where she praised the success of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” cover. “The fact that it made so much money is helpful because I always say, it costs a lot to look this cheap,” Parton—who originally coined her famous line about her style in the 1982 film The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas—said in an interview. “See these little rattly earrings? Whitney bought these.”Of course, jokes aside, Parton couldn’t have been more honored to have Houston cover her 1974 song, especially considering the singer’s vocal talent. As she put it, “It’s just one of the greatest compliments you could have as a songwriter.”readTaylor Swift Honors Dolly Parton’s “Dazzling” Legacy After DeathBut songwriting… Read More
