DOLLY AT A PROMOTIONAL EVENT

This photograph, taken at a promotional event for “The Best Little Wh*rehouse in Texas” in 1988, features Dolly Parton wearing a dress with oversized, puffy sleeves. The film was an adaptation of a successful Broadway musical and starred Dolly alongside Burt Reynolds.

Despite reportedly having difficulty working with Burt, her dedication to her craft and fans was evident. She even famously pushed for a romantic angle between the leading characters.
