Dolly Parton: ‘I got freedom’ on how not having children affected her career


Dolly Lee Parton is opening up about her decades-long musical career.

Despite the limitations the coronavirus epidemic has put on the live show, the 74-year-old country icon has been a very busy bee in 2020. Last month, the singer-songwriter released her first Christmas album in three decades, and she will spread the holiday excitement for her fans on the upcoming “Holy Day Christmas” TV special on CBS.

While pressing for her new album, Kroner discusses many of her life’s main goals, including her long-term marriage to her husband Carl Dean, as well as her upcoming 75th birthday. Speaking about her family with Oprah Winfrey, Parton explained how children do not affect her career.

“Since I had no children, and my husband was very independent, so I got freedom,” Parton told the TV icon on “The Oprah Conversion” on Apple Paul TV by People.

Parton said he believes not having children is part of God’s plan for him.

“I didn’t have kids because I believe God doesn’t mean for my kids so everyone’s kids can be mine, so I can do things like a fantasy library because if I didn’t have the freedom to work, he said,‘ All I did was Didn’t do things. ‘ “I wouldn’t be in a position to do the things I’m doing right now.”

Parton’s Concept Library provides free books to children born and raised in communities around the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Australia and the Republic of Ireland.
