Excerpt due to length. Dolly's famous appearance with Johnny Carson can be watched here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khEhkCHxQi8 "I would give about a year's pay to peak under there." "Dolly Parton, one of the most groundbreaking and successful musicians in the history of country music, with a hitmaking career that spanned six decades and launched her into TV and movie stardom, died Tuesday after a brief cancer battle. She was 80. "After bravely facing a brief battle with cancer, Dolly departed her Earthly life today at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center surrounded by loved ones," her team said in a statement to CBS News. Her nephew Bryan Seaver, who was his aunt's head of security, announced her death in a prerecorded video posted to social media. "It is an honor, an honor that is mixed with absolute pride and great sadness, but sadness lies with us, not with Dolly," he said. "Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus." Parton had health issues leading up to her death Last October, Parton's sister Freida Parton sparked concerns about the star's health when she took to social media asking for prayers for her sister. Parton later assured fans by saying that she wasn't sick and was OK. But in May, Parton told fans in a social media video that she was responding well to treatment she was receiving, saying she's long had issues with kidney stones and her immune system and digestive system "got all out of whack" over the past few years. She also said she wasn't up to "stage performance level" and had to cancel upcoming performances in Las Vegas. Reactions pour in to Parton's death At the White House, President Trump called her death "a true loss for millions of people" and ordered the American flag lowered across the country starting Tuesday evening. "There has never been anyone like her, and never will," Mr. Trump said. Linda Ronstadt, who worked with Parton and Emmylou Harris on 1987's "Trio" album, was among the stars mourning Parton. "I am deeply saddened by the passing of my friend, Dolly Parton," Ronstadt said in a statement. "One of the most extraordinary musical experiences of my life was recording with her. The world is a poorer place without her." Fellow country star Reba McEntire posted a photo of the two singers together. "Your love, your music and you gave so much with your huge huge heart," McEntire said. "There will never ever be another you. We will remember and cherish every memory and every note you ever played and sang. Thank you, Lord, for Dolly." Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton talk onstage at a Country Music Television event honoring McEntire at the Kodak Theatre on Oct. 26, 2006, in Hollywood, California.

Frank Micelotta/Getty Images for CMT Julia Roberts, who starred in 1989's "Steel Magnolias" with Parton, called her "a magical and joyous human." "I hold knowing her as a treasure in my life," Roberts said in a statement. "The sun has dimmed today." Actress Sally Field remembered Parton by posting a group photo of the movie's stars to social media. "If there are truly angels on earth, then we have just lost one. Dolly Parton," Field said. "There will never be another. I adored her with all my heart and will always cherish our time together. Forever. Rest in peace beautiful Dolly." In Los Angeles, Parton was remembered as a "once-in-a-lifetime talent" by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, and flowers were placed at her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In New York, the Empire State Building paid tribute to the star by covering the top of the skyscraper in pink light. Parton won 10 Grammys over decades-long career Since breaking onto the country music scene with her 1967 debut "Hello, I'm Dolly," Parton never seemed to slow down, releasing nearly 50 studio albums and selling more than 100 million records. A prolific songwriter, she won 10 Grammys and earned 55 nominations. But she treated her success with a certain modesty. In 2022, when she was nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, she tried to pull herself out of the running, saying she didn't feel that she had "earned that right." Her peers and fans vehemently disagreed. In a 2022 interview on "CBS Mornings," she called it "an honor" to have so many loyal fans, but added that "it scares me to death sometimes. I'm always sayin' I'm not all that, I'm even not all there sometimes." Born on Jan. 19, 1946, Parton grew up in poverty in rural Tennessee, the fourth of 12 children. "Well, what they call 'white trash,' I don't like anybody else calling me that, but to be called a hillbilly, I always take pride in that," she told CBS News in a 2016 interview.
