1. Wide of Nicole Kidman
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Nicole Kidman, executive producer/actor - on why Parton was special:
"She was so genuine and she was so philanthropic. Great artist. I mean, what a songwriter, what a woman and what a person who came from nothing and built herself. Everything she did was extraordinary. And she will be so missed by all of us. But also the beauty of great, great art, which is what she contributed, is that she will be with us forever. You know, you can listen to her songs and she's right there with you."
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Sandra Bullock, executive producer/actor:
"I've never met anyone that embodied joy. She was honorable. She was honest. She was kind. She's a whole litany of things. But - sorry, - but she lived a life of joy and gratitude. And I said it earlier, I said, 'I don't think people realize what we had. And now that she's no longer with us in body, hopefully we will start living by her example because there's no one else like her. Nobody. Nobody.'"
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing, actors:
Channing: "It's a great loss. Personal for me, and especially Tim Curry, who was a dear friend. But they both led extraordinary lives and in different ways gave back so much to humanity. I think Dolly Parton was an incredible human being."
Wiest: "They'll be missed."
