Parton, the country music star who rose from grinding poverty in Tennessee to become a rhinestone-studded cultural icon with hits like "Jolene" and "9 to 5," has died at 80, her family said on August 25, 2026. Parton was more than a singer, she wrote 3,000 songs, acted in major Hollywood films and donated millions of dollars to charities in her home state and beyond.
