Jolene sleeps with the fishes.
Will it be classified as a motor boating death ?
60 years married to a hugely successful public performer and Hollywood/Nashville star.
Definitely an outlier - congratulations to them both.
Saturday I was watching the series Blacklist, they had an actress called Jolene and played that song, which the actress fit:
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
60 years…wow, puts tears in the eyes. He had to be a strong man to support,his wife through her career and fame.
This is cute and touching…
“Parton met Dean outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat the day she moved to Nashville at 18.
“I was surprised and delighted that while he talked to me, he looked at my face (a rare thing for me),” Parton described the meeting. “He seemed to be genuinely interested in finding out who I was and what I was about.”
They married two years later, on Memorial Day — May 30, 1966 — in a small ceremony in Ringgold, Georgia.”
And it lasted 60 years until “Death us do part.”
She’s such a sweetheart. I’m glad she got to have a long, successful Love Story. :)
Jolene reportedly said “If I can’t have him, no one can.”
Jolene sleeps with the fishes.
Good memories not everyone has them for that long.
