Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton is unlikely to be threatened by any woman, not even a fiery redhead with creamy skin and emerald eyes. Dolly’s 1973 popular song “Jolene,” in which one woman begs another not to take her boyfriend, is actually based on a real story. The song was mostly influenced by a red-haired bank teller who flirted with Carl Thomas Dean back when they first married.
However, a different redhead, a young girl she encountered in the autograph line at one of her concerts, was the real inspiration behind the name “Jolene.” Concerned about the dynamics between Dolly and Carl after hearing those lyrics? You shouldn’t be concerned; the couple has been blissfully wed since 1966.
