A newly 75-year-old Dolly Parton is eligible to be inoculated against Covid-19 but hasn t gotten a shot yet, she told CNN, even though she donated US$1 million to vaccine development. I m going to get it, though, she said Thursday. I didn t want to jump line. I didn t donate the money so I could be protected. I did it for everybody.
In typical Parton style, she gave the seven-figure sum to help partly fund creation of the Moderna vaccine.
It was a sideline effort by the county music legend, not unlike another project Parton spoke about with CNN: reworking her famous song, 9 to 5, as 5 to 9 for website building and e-commerce platform Squarespace s Super Bowl ad.
