We really love Dolly Parton, but our devotion could never hold a candle to some of the superfans featured in the 2006 documentary For the Love of Dolly. In the clip above, we meet Jeanette, a woman who has decided to dedicate her life to her favorite singer by collecting memorabilia, building an exact replica of the shack Dolly grew up in, and even getting her autograph tattooed on her butt cheek, for which she wears jeans with a strategically-placed hole. (Not seen is when she breaks into Dolly's best friend Judy Ogle's car and licks the seatbelt.)

Well I do love dolly. I even made the trip to Dollywood. But whoa sister! I don't want to know the diseases she contracted by kissing that star 200 times.
Dolly is fuck me in the ass great.
i saw this on logo that one day i tried that bottle of andré and vegged on the couch.
Bless her heart. She doesn't have much sense, does she? Now, don't get me wrong, Dolly kicks ass and all, but, seriously.
Oh, this is getting added to my Netflix.
@Ptarmigan: hear, hear.
Pshaw. I'm going to get the "Xavier Roberts" signature tattooed on my ass.
Dolly gave me and LadySkittles one of our favorite quotes eva:
There's always rain before a rainbow.
or
It takes rain to make a rainbow.
One of those. And NO I will not google it.
Can anyone say stalker?
But yes Dolly is the bomb.
She can play songs on her fingernails. On ACRYLICS ppl!
@Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka: And people say she's just a big pair of tits.
People never cease to amaze me with their crazy antics.
@Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka: Wait, what about "it takes a lot of money to look this cheap." That's my fave dolly-ism.
Viva la dolly!
@nodoubt9203 (Your vagina's complicated but i still love you): Andre is my shit!
*Dolly is my jam too. "I'm gonna change you from a rooster to a hen with one shot!" <3 9 to 5
Dolly is, in my humble opinion, the all time greatest performer ever. this movie is awesome. I cant wait to go see her in concert next month!!!
Dolly is the guest mentor on Idol next week. Two of my great trashy guilt pleasures rolled into one delicious treat. I can't wait to hear her advice.
@blondegrlz: I know, right!? I'm skipping class to watch it! i just hope she calls out that David cook for looking and singing like a douchebag supremo. She won't though, b/c shes a lady.
also, Dolly is neither trashy nor a guilty pleasure.
I interned at Dollywood one summer and it was such a fun time! I got to "meet" Dolly. (Stand in line for an hour to snap a picture and listen to her laugh.)
Jeanette is just one example of the several I met while working that summer. There are lots of women with bleached hair, Dale Earnhart charms, and airbrushed tees that just know the world is a lot better because Dolly's in it (and aren't afraid to tell you).
I think my favorite part of this clip -- I have too many in the movie itself -- is when Jeanette talks about still living with her mom. And the awesome early-90's hair/pants. It's like she's into NKOTB, but instead it's Aunt Granny's biggest fan!
My favorite Dollyism is something like "People think I'm just a dumb blonde, but I know I'm not dumb. I also know I'm not blonde!"
I'm going to get Daniel Day-Lewis' signature on my ass.. Yeah!
Thank goodness this woman lives in California, not Pigeon Forge. I think the saddest part is where she has the doll of Dolly Parton's best friend. Um. I love Dolly too, but that's a bit much.
I guess if you have to obsess over somebody, Dolly Parton's a pretty solid choice.
Am I the only one who kinda wanted to see the autograph tattoo through the jeans hole?
Dolly's an exaggeration in every way possible--including smart.
Oh, I think this person needs some serious help...BUT, at least she's fixated on one hell of a woman!
true love is what I feel for Dolly. What I wouldn't give to have that lady's signature tatooed on my ass...(I would DEFINITELY give my self-respect, btw).
the end of this.. was really something special...
Best Dolly quote: "I always say if I, you know, if I see something sagging, dragging or bagging, I'm going to go have it stuffed, tucked or plucked." She knows what she is.
@Ptarmigan: Wowee! O-kay!
@callheralaska: No. I wanted to see it, too!
I was amused until she said she tells prospective employers that she's a Dolly fan and must have a flexible schedule. That's just disturbing.
@booktart: rhis is my fave, too.
i like dolly, wouldn't say i love her... but that part where she talks about priorities, and how everyone's are different really spoke to me. i wanted to stand up and clap that she tells all her future employers this... we all talk about how we wish people would embrace alternative lifestyles... and some women's priorities are Dolly. Some are art. Some are dildos. Some are raising kids and selling Mary Kay. Some get a little of each.
If everyone could be this comfortable owning up...
Eeeee - where did you find this movie? I was interviewed for it during a Dolly appreciation night at Meow Mix a few years ago (came in second in the lookalike contest!), blathered drunkenly about how awesome I think she is, and never saw it because it only played in NYC one time and I couldn't make it that night. I have no idea whether I made it into the film. Is it on Netflix now or what?
Heads up Dolly fans....she'll be on American Idol on April 2.
I bet you can spot crazy stalker lady in the crowd too.
I saw this at the Frameline film festival in San Francisco a couple years ago and it was ridiculous. The gays all went nuts when the car being ransacked in the aforementioned seatbelt-licking incident had insurance cards in the glove compartment indicating that the vehicle was registered to both Judy Ogle (bless her mullet) AND Dolly. Yes, friends, it's true. Shared paperwork = lezebelles. Or not.
Beyond that, Dolly is so fabulous it hurts.
@Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka:
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
This is no different than guys who have sports memorabilia. Nobody would begrudge a Packers fan his shrine.
@LipstickLibrarian: luckily for us, she's not running a Fortune 500 corporation.
@LipstickLibrarian: I think that's awesome. We've had SO MUCH crazy at my place o'work; it would be a refreshing change to have somebody own up that they are crazy, right off the bat.
Of course, we're all getting pretty good at recognizing the smell of crazy. Except the hiring officers. I dunno, maybe they're on crack.
My husband and I went to a taping of Conan O'Brien a few years ago and Dolly was one of the guests. She sang "Me and Bobby McGee" and she was awesome.
Loved the hair, it was like lego or something.
Re: Xavier Roberts
Thread over. andBegorrah wins.
I will admit, the only star I took a pic of on the walk of fame was Dolly's, but I was in a big "Jolene" phase at the time.
I guess if you have to be crazy about a celeb you could do much worse than Dolly. She's fantastic in so many ways.
Admittedly, I have also been to the wonder that is Dollywood.
@BAngieB: Mmmmmm-hm.
(You already added the "bless her [crazy-ass] heart," that's all I've got.)
Man. Dolly fuckin' Parton. LOVE HER.
@blondegrlz: NO WAY is she going to be on Idol. I might just have to sit through that show just for her. Thank God for DVR.
@Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka: HAHAHAHAHA! Oh, Miss Smith! Ya killin me, and I'm terribly flattered. In truth, I was quoting David Brent quoting Dolly Parton, and it went like this:
David Brent: "If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain." Do you know which philosopher said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits.
My love of Ricky Gervais is trumped only by my love of Dolly.
I worked at Dollywood as an entertainer for two seasons. I've seen Dolly a few times, but haven't ever gotten to meet her, but everyone I talk to who has agrees that she is the sweetest, most gracious woman and isn't afraid to be who she is. The world needs more people like her. She's one of my heroes.
While I think Jeanette's fascination is a bit overwhelming, she couldn't pick a better idol - I bet Dolly is wonderful to her every time they meet.
crazy chick + crazy laugh = crazy obsession
I directed FOR THE LOVE OF DOLLY and wanted to let you know it is coming out on video this summer through Wolfe Video!
@pink_dolly7: I just checked and it isn't on Netflix! I'm glad to hear it will be out this summer :-)
