Janette’s Take On... Dolly Parton’s Final Lesson: Your Best Chapter May Still Be Ahead
Dolly Parton was more than a country music legend. She was a singer, songwriter, actress, entrepreneur, philanthropist—and a woman who refused to become invisible with age. Following Dolly Parton’s passing at age 80, Janette Burke shares her Take On the remarkable lessons Dolly leaves behind for women everywhere, especially SAVVY women over 40. From growing up in poverty in the Tennessee mountains to becoming an international entertainment and business icon, Dolly Parton built a career that lasted across generations. But perhaps one of her greatest accomplishments was that she never stopped evolving. She reinvented herself. She protected what she created. She knew her worth. She gave back. And she proved that getting older does not mean stepping aside. When Elvis Presley wanted to record “I Will Always Love You,” Dolly famously refused to surrender part of her publishing rights. Years later, Whitney Houston transformed the song into a worldwide phenomenon. Dolly knew the value of what she had created. Her legacy went far beyond entertainment. Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, hundreds of millions of books have been given to children around the world. In this special Janette’s Take On, Janette asks an important question: Instead of asking, “Who am I now?” as our lives and careers change, what if we ask: “Who do I still get to become?” For every woman who has ever been made to feel that her best years are behind her, Dolly Parton’s life offers another possibility. Maybe our best chapter isn’t behind us. Maybe we just haven’t written it yet.
