PARTON IN HER EARLY 30S

His sister rediscovered a candid portrait of Dolly Parton taken by photographer Gene Spatz in the ’70s or ’80s, decades later. The photo captures Dolly in her early thirties as she attempted to expand her music beyond Nashville’s country scene.

Gene Spatz was a well-known celebrity photographer and music promoter who photographed iconic celebrities, including Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen. Despite his prolific career, much of Spatz’s work was lost or forgotten, making his collection’s rediscovery a headline-making moment.
