In 1964, after her move to Nashville, she met Carl Dean, a construction worker. Despite a 38-year marriage, he remains practically invisible. There have been rumoured affairs with her co-stars, Burt Reynolds, James Woods and Sylvester Stallone, as well as her personal assistant and schoolfriend Judy Ogle. But Parton is clever enough to keep us guessing. 'If I ain't done it, I'm capable of it or I just ain't got round to doing it yet.'
If it's not an open marriage, how does she know so much about sexual jealousy ('Jolene' is a brilliantly crafted plea to 'the other woman')? 'Well I think for all women there's always a more beautiful person, a more special person out there. I mean I feel I'm as good as anyone else. But, yeah, I've had those times with lovers or husbands or whatever, where you feel jealous if you see someone you care about looking at someone a certain way.'
Parton doesn't do anything to discourage the speculation about her own sexuality. But one song on the latest CD is particularly humbling. In 'Shattered Image', she sings: 'Stay out of my closet if your own's full of trash.' Having waded through reams of gossip before our interview, I tell her I feel ashamed. She smiles carefully. 'Actually I wrote that song back in 1967 when people were beginning to gossip about me. You know, just because you're a girl who looks like trash they assume you are. It was breaking my heart that I was being accused of taking people's husbands and sleeping with people...'

On one hand, I don't much care whether she has or has not. It is between her husband and her God.
On the other I have read the second installment of another country stars autobiography, and he mentions spending about a week with her in a house boat, so I am sure that she was considering leaving her husband at the time, of which she decided not to do so.
If you are curious as to who the star is...ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies.
You hint is in the above paragraph.

I doubt it, she seems to have a very strong faith, and I don't think it's really in her to do something like that.
She's probably had her share of offers though, I don't doubt that.
That's just an opinion though.

I dont judge people of their short falls but how they are able to get up quickly from where they had fallen. Yes she's best, atleast at her age she is still stronger and younger than most of our youths. can someone write to me her song (simply the best). cheers.

There were always rumors of a thing with Porter Wagoner way back when she was on his tv show.

Don't all celebrities cheat? I know I'd STILL do her so I'm sure there are a crapload of guys that has tried. I always heard Tanya Tucker was a big hoe.
