“I photographed Dolly Parton in Los Angeles in September 2008. I was about to get married, and I knew she had been married for decades, so I asked her what the secret was to a long-lasting marriage. She answered with a laugh and without a moment’s hesitation said succinctly, ‘Travel a lot and not together!’” photographer and filmmaker Gillian Laub (@gigilaub) says. “Sometimes meeting a person you admire can be disappointing in real life, but she surpassed any expectations I had. She was a real no-nonsense lady who came with no drama and a great attitude.” Happy Birthday, #dollyparton! ?
