childhood growing up in Tennessee in the 1940s and 1950s she “never felt poor”.
Parton told Anita Sethi in The Guardian: “We always had food, a roof over our heads
and clothes on our backs. It wasn’t exactly what we wanted but Mama and Daddy
were always quick to point out the families that suffered far more than we ever did. It
all seemed just natural to me. It’s only when you look back at beans and
cornbread, sleeping several to a bed, using newspaper for insulation
and dealing with an outhouse that you realise – yes, I guess we were
poor.” Although Parton and her husband Carl Dean, who have been
married 50 years,“ don’t have any children, the singer says she is an
“honorary god mother” to popstar Miley Cyrus. “I have known her
since she was a baby. I go back a long ways with [Miley’s father] Billy Ray and I was
so happy for them when they had this little girl. Miley has a wonderful future ahead of
her, and I will always be there to support her and cheer for her success and happiness.”
