Dolly Parton 1992: "I Would Choose the Writing" | Dini Petty

‪@DollyParton‬joined Dini Petty by satellite in April 1992 to promote a romcom. Then Dini asked the question underneath every Dolly Parton interview ever taped: the singing, the acting, Dollywood, the production company. If you could only keep one, which would you pick? She didn't pick singing. Her answer is the most honest thing she says in nine minutes, and she gives it with nothing to sell. No book. No stage show. No reason to say it except that it's true. Thirty-four years later, she put that answer on Broadway. This interview has not been seen since it's original broadcast.
