Not ready for this one…she changed the course of country music and film- one of the greatest songwriters of all time. 🎸🌎🎼🎤 @DollyParton
Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old. Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact. At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

Indie hit of the summer! @A24 @oliviawilde @Sethrogen serve up some of their best work. Penelope Cruz & Ed Norton crush it. Award season awaits.
Olivia Wilde’s “The Invite” is about to surpass $40M at the global box office, making it a rare summer comedy hit: • Outside of horror, few independent releases have managed to surpass the $20 million mark at the domestic box office since COVID upended the movie theater industry • “The Invite” skews younger than the traditional arthouse release, with a quarter of the audience below the age of 25 and the majority around 35 years old variety.com/2026/film/news/t…

Simply get rid of data scientist hires as producers and agents. Algorithms and data for films when marketing used stats in 90’s never worked. Netflix hiring producers who have data science on resume instead of years grinding it on set. Days of Laura Zisken are gone. That’s the😉
