NEW EDITION - OUT NOW DOLLY PARTON EXCLUSIVE: NO RHINESTONE LEFT UNTURNED “I’d tell my younger self, you’re going to end up being very proud of your little old self one day. So just buckle up and be ready for the ride.” So says superstar Dolly Parton as she takes us on a journey through her extraordinary life in her Letter to My Younger Self. Leaving no rhinestone unturned, she reveals her crush on Johnny Cash, the time she said no to Elvis and why she’ll always stay true to her roots. “I am strong in my beliefs,” she says. “There is an old saying – to thine own self be true – that has followed me all the days of my life.”
