Dolly and Carl: Love’s Country Road
This classic photo features none other than Dolly Parton and Carl Dean, a love story straight out of Nashville! Dolly, the country music queen known for hits like “Jolene” and “9 to 5,” met her match in Carl Dean, a charming but private man.
They first crossed paths outside a Nashville laundromat in 1964—romantic, right? Carl was smitten, and the two started dating shortly after. Their love story is unique in Hollywood, mainly because Carl has stayed out of the spotlight while Dolly dazzled the world. They tied the knot in a low-key ceremony on May 30, 1966.
