Dr. Dolly

Dolly Parton is a Sevier County native and entertainment icon around the world. Parton is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, has been honored for her public service by the Smithsonian Institution, received seven Grammy Awards, been nominated for two Academy Awards and just last week her new Broadway show "Nine to Five" was nominated for four Tony awards. Today, she received an honorary doctorate of Humane and Musical Letters from the University of Tennessee. It's only the second such honorary degree bestowed by UT in its long history. Parton tells WUOT's Ann Lloyd she's very grateful...
