Famed singer and actress Dolly Parton has been a longtime philanthropist for her home state of Tennessee, prompting calls for a statue in her honor at the Capitol building in Nashville.
State Rep. John Mark Windle, a Democrat, has called for the creation of a Dolly Parton fund for the statue, which would be financed by gifts, grants and other donations. The public would play a part in the design of the statue, which would face Ryman Auditorium, the music venue where Parton has often performed.
