Dolly Parton, born into rural poverty in the Tennessee mountains and gone now at 80, lived one of the great American lives — not because she escaped where she came from, but because she never pretended to. She built a career in music, business, and philanthropy that defied the categories others tried to place around her, and she did it with a clarity of self that is rarer than talent. Her passing closes a chapter in the long story of what ambition, rooted in honesty, can become.
