Parton achieved a 70% favorable approval rating among Americans—the highest of any luminary polled—bridging cultural divides through warmth, wit, and authentic storytelling. Born in a two-room log cabin in Tennessee as one of 12 children, she composed iconic songs like 'Jolene' and 'I Will Always Love You' without reading sheet music.
