Dolly Parton is one of the most accomplished and celebrated singers of her generation. But though she may lead a glamorous life, things haven't always been so rosy for the Queen of Country. This is the tragic truth about Dolly Parton. There's something undeniably glam about Dolly Parton, what with the big hair, the stunning makeup, and all those fancy outfits.

However, in an essay published by Guideposts, Parton explained that, although her life growing up was far from charmed, her family nonetheless made it work.
