Time For Love
Parton was fortunate in that she found love before her career really took off. She married Carl Thomas Dean in May 1966 in Ringgold Georgia.
Despite using her maiden name professionally, Parton has stated her passport says “Dolly Parton Dean” and also uses this name when sometimes signing contracts. Dean is retired and used to run an asphalt road-paving business.
Dean it seems shuns publicity and rarely joins his wife to events. Parton has said that he has seen her perform just once.
