[QUOTE="Jimmy Todd, post: 443687, member: 3926"] As I've been reading about Dolly's life this last week, I am more And more struck by her true generous spirit and intelligence. I've even watched some episodes of The Porter Wagoner show, and I was surprised that I genuinely enjoyed it and Dolly's presence. Apparently, after she left Wagoner sued her for 3 million and 15% of all he r future earnings. They settled out of court with her paying him 1 million. Despite that, when years later Wagoner was in serious financial debt she bailed Him out very generously and was at his side when he died. When making the movie Steel Magnolias the director was Apparently not nice to her, telling her she couldn't act. Her response was perfect. Instead of insulting him she said something along the lines of, "No, I can't. I'm not an actress. You hired me because I'm a personality. It's your job as director to make it look like I'm acting." By the time the movie Was done, they were on good terms. These stories, along with many others I've read, inspired me. She was so clever and so loving and forgiving, she makes me want to be a better person. [/QUOTE]
