STORYLINE:
New York's Empire State Building was lit up in pink on Tuesday night to honour Dolly Parton.

The beloved music and film star known for her vibrant personality and poignant song-writing died of cancer. She was 80 years old.

Her career spanned decades, with hits like “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You.”

Born in Tennessee, she rose from humble beginnings to become a country music icon.

Her partnership with Porter Wagoner helped launch her career, and she later became a successful actor and businesswoman.

Parton was also a philanthropist, founding her Imagination Library to promote children’s literacy.

Her charm and humour made her a beloved figure across generations and political divides.
