There's the same amount of fantasy in Zeon is in Dolly Parton. There was tremendous coverage of her with the release of the documentary about her. One of her oft-repeated lines: "It is true that I look artificial, but I believe that I'm totally real."
I watched the documentary recently. I only thought I was prepared: I was stunned. At 74, she looks looks fit and trim, on the thin side and perhaps 50 years of age. Some of my notes to self: she would need to wear a body suit at her age to look like this, along with a lot of plastic surgery. The documentary emphasizes her appearance over and over again, along with the 1,000 songs she's written.
Typically anything I observe and wonder about has generally been printed in the press:
This from USA Today in 2019: Parton is particular about her looks – she revealed a few months ago she sleeps with a full face of makeup in case of emergency – but she's also the first person to poke fun at herself. She told The Guardian in a 2011 interview that "if something is bagging, sagging or dragging, I'll tuck it, suck it or pluck it."
So how long does it take to create that big, bouffant hairdo? "I wouldn't know, I'm never there," Parton joked.
"Are they real?" Dokoupil asked. They're real expensive," she said with a laugh. "They're real big."
From the Sun (in Britain): Has Dolly Parton had cosmetic surgery?
Dolly has had a number of surgeries over the years to enhance her looks.
She's had a breast augmentation, breast implants, a brow lift, surgery on her eyelids, a nose job and her chin operated on.
Her surgeon Dr John Grossman told the Today show: “She has a generous bosom, which I augmented some years ago.
“She’s had her face rejuvenated on a number of occasions, [but] not a full face-lift.
The article in nowtolove.com.au rolls through her appearance over the years to reveal her plastic surgery transformations. It is HERE.
This isn't a singular story, is it? There are quite a few American celebrities - particularly singers - who have had extensive plastic surgery - take Cher and Michael Jackson. There is even an entry in Wikipedia on the health and appearance of Michael Jackson. There are lists and lists of who has had the most plastic surgery. One is HERE. This is the stuff of gossip and tabloids so the scrolling list is endless - like a game show in itself.
