Dolly Parton – Age 72

Dolly Parton came from obscurity and extreme poverty to dominate the country music industry, first as a songwriter and then as a solo performer. Her distinct hair color and lush lips made her a female role model, and hits such as Jolene are still on the radio. But Parton is not just a huge musician. More importantly, she has dedicated her life to philanthropy and charitable causes around America, showing that artists are humans, just like us.
