The 'Queen of Country Music', Dolly Parton is being mourned globally after the 80-year-old's death from cancer.
Bringing country music to international audiences, she was also a successful businesswoman, TV host and actor.
An icon to women's groups for her songs of female empowerment, Parton refused to call herself a feminist and was happy to laugh off criticism of her glamorous looks.
Flags are at half mast across the US in respect to Parton, the songwriter, singer, actor, businesswoman and philanthropist.
