'[An] absorbing study of an ultra-talented country music icon' MOJOSmart Blonde tells the remarkable story of Dolly Parton's rise from a poor, East Tennessee childhood to superstardom in the male-dominated world of 1960s Nashville. With charm, determination and unparalleled talent, Parton built not only a musical legacy, but a multifaceted business empire. Stephen Miller's biography depicts Dolly's meteoric ascent in sparkling technicolour, crafting a narrative as dazzling as the woman it celebrates. A deeply researched and entertaining portrait, Smart Blonde is full of energy and quick humour, doing justice to a strong woman who has always steered her own course. Through rare interviews with those closest to Parton, including family members, musicians and long-time collaborators, Smart Blonde provides intimate glimpses into her famously private world. This Remastered edition covers Dolly's enduring marriage to Carl Dean until his death in 2025, her lifelong friendship with Judy Ogle and much more.
