Star of the Show

Dolly Parton (1946-2026). “A voice who was a soundtrack to our lives… Dolly Parton's music travelled across generations, her talent crossed genres …. She’ll be remembered for the songs, the stories and the philanthropy, but perhaps most of all for being so completely and apologetically herself.” Today, Radio 4. A stunning New York Times bestselling celebration of Dolly Parton’s iconic career as a performer, full of Dolly's entertaining personal stories and 350 color photographs, including exclusive images and ephemera from her archive, and an eight-page gatefold listing her lifetime of performances. In Star of the Show , the culminating book in Dolly Parton’s photographic trilogy—following Songteller (lyrics) and Behind the Seams (fashion)—the global superstar finally shares a definitive look at her career as one of the world’s most dazzling and beloved performers. Featuring engaging stories and memories from Parton’s dynamic life behind the microphone, this book spotlights her signature performances and star-making moments, from singing in front of her family to premiering on the Grand Ole Opry stage and beyond. Her formative years performing with country legend Porter Wagoner are chronicled as she learns hard lessons from life on the road. Breaking out on her own at state fairs and critically acclaimed venues, she toured the world performing for millions of fans in arenas, stadiums, and at festivals. From making her onscreen debut in the blockbuster feature film 9 to 5 to playing the Dallas Cowboys’ 2023 Thanksgiving halftime show to 42 million viewers, this global superstar knows no limits. Along the way, Dolly shares the stage with Kenny Rogers, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, and others, while offering insight on touring big, singing strong, and staying on top for seven decades.
