Dolly Parton is a truly incredible woman. She is a singer, a songwriter, an actress, an author, a businesswoman, a record producer, and more — the list goes on forever.
Most notably, Dolly is known for her work in country music. She has been a figurehead in the country music industry since her debut album in 1967.
It seems crazy that she has been on the scene for 50 years, but she absolutely deserves it.
Not only is she talented, she's also compassionate and funny. Dolly was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1999, but that's not her only claim to success — she has won nine Grammy Awards, 10 Country Music Awards, three American Music Awards, seven Academy of Country Music Awards, and two Academy Award nominations.
In fact, Dolly Parton is one of very few people who have been nominated for an Emmy, a Tony, a Grammy, and an Oscar.
Despite all her musical fame, there's one other thing Dolly Parton is equally famous for: her insanely tiny waist.

Dolly Parton, who was born Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean in 1946, is one of country music's most famous faces.
Throughout her extensive career, Dolly has graced the silver screen, television screens, and a variety of musical albums.
Even at 71 years old, she's just as famous for her va-va-voom figure.
Dolly's fame came to a peak in the 1970s and 1980s, but she has been in the spotlight ever since she started her career in 1967.
Today, Dolly Parton remains one of the most famous country musicians of all time.
But in addition to her incredible voice, Dolly is known for her distinctive look and dazzling figure.
Her huge blonde hair, busty chest, and tiny waist are unmistakeable — and she's been rocking the look since she got her start decades ago.
But at 71 years old, how does Dolly keep her figure looking the way it does?
Dolly freely admits that she's had a little bit of work done over the years, telling InStyle, "If I see something sagging, dragging or bagging, I get it sucked, tucked or plucked."
But plastic surgery isn't responsible for Dolly's itty-bitty waist.
Actually, Dolly has a secret system of accentuating her waist when she performs. That's why every time you see her on stage, she looks tiny!
British talk show host Graham Norton explained Dolly's secret to a tiny waist — and it's not what you'd think.
Dolly looks thin on stage because of her microphone pack placement!
While most singers keep their microphone packs attached to their waists, Dolly keeps hers in her wig!
A pack at the waist might make her appear thicker around the middle than she is.
Dolly is so adamant about keeping her waist thin and microphone-free that all her wigs feature a specially designed compartment.
Most music fans probably wouldn't even think about microphone placement, but for Dolly, it keeps her appearance looking perfect.
How funny is this trick? Maybe we'll see more singers pick it up now that Dolly's secret is out.
