Dolly Parton, the legendary singer turned business mogul and philanthropist, could always be relied on for some straight-talking advice. Even when it came to emulating her massive success, the country music star’s guidance was simple: “Work your butt off.”
Friends, family, and fans of Parton are reminiscing and celebrating her accomplishments—be it her music, entrepreneurship, or philanthropy—after her nephew and head of security, Bryan Seaver, announced her death in a statement earlier this week.
