So, she when died, on August 25 at age 80, the tributes were both swift and plentiful. Among the videos making the rounds online were clips from a 1977 interview with Barbara Walters. As is often the case when it comes to decades-old interviews with female celebrities, many of Walters&#8217;s questions were, in modern parlance, pretty cringe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what stands out is the grace and dignity with which Parton responds to inquiries about her body and her hair and clothes. She is open, honest and unapologetically herself.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/harry-benson-dolly-parton-nashville\/id-a_12289172\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Benson_Dolly_Parton_1976_MedRes_master-766x950.jpg\" alt=\"Dolly Parton, Nashville,1976, by Harry Benson\" class=\"wp-image-435924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Benson_Dolly_Parton_1976_MedRes_master-766x950.jpg 766w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Benson_Dolly_Parton_1976_MedRes_master-282x350.jpg 282w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Benson_Dolly_Parton_1976_MedRes_master-97x120.jpg 97w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Benson_Dolly_Parton_1976_MedRes_master-768x952.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Benson_Dolly_Parton_1976_MedRes_master-752x933.jpg 752w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Benson_Dolly_Parton_1976_MedRes_master.jpg 929w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/harry-benson-dolly-parton-nashville\/id-a_12289172\/\"><em>Dolly Parton, Nashville<\/em>, 1976, by Harry Benson<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t like to be like everybody else,\u201d she says in response to a question about how she dresses. \u201cI\u2019ve often made the statement that I would never stoop so low as to be fashionable.

Her talent was legendary, her philanthropy was inspiring, and her personal style \u2014 a riot of blonde wigs and rhinestone-studded ensembles \u2014 was delightfully outrageous. So, we gathered some of our favorite photos to remember how perfectly Dolly she was.
