多莉·麗貝卡·帕頓（Dolly Rebecca Parton，1946年1月19日出生）是一位美國歌手、詞曲作者、音樂家、演員和慈善家，主要以鄉村音樂人的身份為人所知。在為他人創作歌曲並取得成功後，帕頓於1967年發行了首張專輯《你好，我是多莉》（Hello, I'm Dolly），從此開啟了她長達60年、共發行49張錄音室專輯的職業生涯。她的第49張個人錄音室專輯《搖滾明星》（Rockstar，2023年）成為她在公告牌二百強專輯榜上排名最高的專輯，最高排名第三。
帕頓被譽為“鄉村音樂傳奇”，全球唱片銷量超過1億張，是史上最暢銷的歌手之一。 [2][3] 她的音樂作品曾榮獲美國唱片協會（RIAA）認證的金唱片、白金唱片和多白金唱片獎。她有25首單曲榮登《告示牌》鄉村音樂排行榜榜首，創下了女歌手的紀錄（與瑞芭·麥肯泰爾並列）。她職業生涯中共有44張鄉村音樂專輯進入排行榜前十，創下了歌手的紀錄。在過去40年中，她共有110首單曲上榜。帕頓創作了3000多首歌曲，包括《I Will Always Love You》（兩度榮登美國鄉村音樂排行榜榜首，惠妮休斯頓的一首國際熱門歌曲）、《Jolene》、《Coat of Many Colors》和《9 to 5》。作為一名演員，她主演過電影《朝九晚五》（1980 年）和《德州小妓院》（1982 年），並憑藉這兩部電影獲得金球獎最佳女主角提名，此外她還主演過電影《萊茵石》（1984 年）、《鋼木蘭》（1989 年）、《直言不諱的聲音》（192 年）。
慈善事業
自1980年代中期以來，帕頓一直支持許多慈善事業，尤其是在掃盲領域，主要透過她的多莉塢基金會。她的掃盲計畫「多莉·帕頓的想像圖書館」[162]是多莉塢基金會的一部分，是為了紀念她從未學過讀寫的父親而創立的。 [163]該計畫每月為每個註冊兒童郵寄一本書，從他們出生到進入幼兒園。目前，超過1600個當地社區每月為美國、加拿大、英國、澳洲和愛爾蘭共和國的近85萬名兒童提供「想像圖書館」。 [162]2018年2月，她向華盛頓特區的國會圖書館捐贈了她的第1億本免費書籍——一本帕頓的兒童圖畫書《五彩斑斕的外衣》。 [164]並因「慈善機構寄出了第1億本書」而受到美國國會圖書館的嘉獎。 [165]
2025年2月，印第安納州州長麥克·布勞恩拒絕支持州政府為帕頓的想像圖書館提供50%的配套資金。多莉塢基金會主席傑夫·科尼爾斯表示：「我們希望布勞恩州長和印第安納州立法機構能夠繼續這項至關重要的投資，恢復州政府對當地想像圖書館計畫的配套資金。」[166] 此後不久，布勞恩委託他的妻子莫琳尋找方法，讓想像圖書館的印第安納分會繼續存在下去。 [167]
帕頓因其在文學教育方面的貢獻獲得了各種獎項，包括美國出版商協會榮譽獎（2000 年）、《好管家》認可印章（2001 年）（這是該印章首次授予個人）、美國學校管理者協會 - 銀河獎（2002 年）、全國年度州教師 - 追逐倡導獎（2002 年）以及教師家庭獎 - 兒童和家長計劃。
2009 年 5 月 8 日，帕頓在田納西大學諾克斯維爾分校文理學院的畢業典禮上發表了畢業演講。 [168] 在畢業典禮上，她被該大學授予人文文學榮譽博士學位。這是該大學授予的第二個榮譽學位。校長吉米·奇克在頒發學位時表示：「鑑於她不僅是一位音樂家和藝人，更是一位文化大使、慈善家和終身教育倡導者，因此，她被授予來自其家鄉旗艦教育機構的榮譽學位實屬恰當。」[169]
2006年，帕頓出版了一本烹飪書，名為《多莉的迪克西修復：愛、歡笑和大量美食》。 [170][171]
由帕頓的利潤資助的多莉塢基金會因給這個曾經蕭條的地區帶來就業機會和稅收而聞名。帕頓也致力於為其他一些事業籌款，包括美國紅十字會和愛滋病毒/愛滋病相關的慈善機構。 [172]
2006年12月，帕頓以接生她的醫生羅伯特·F·托馬斯的名義，承諾捐贈50萬美元，用於在塞維爾維爾建造一座擬建的價值9000萬美元的醫院和癌症中心。她宣布將舉辦一場慈善音樂會，為該計畫籌集更多資金。這場音樂會吸引了約8000人觀賞。 [173] 同年，帕頓和艾米露·哈里斯允許在善待動物組織（PETA）的廣告宣傳中使用她們的音樂，鼓勵寵物主人將愛犬留在室內，而不是拴在室外。 [174]
2009年9月，她與田納西州參議員鮑勃·科克爾出席大煙山國家公園的重新揭幕儀式。
2003年，她透過美國鷹基金會在多莉塢的保護區保護白頭鷹，並因此獲得了美國魚類和野生動物管理局頒發的合作獎。 [175] 2007年11月8日，帕頓在納許維爾舉行的頒獎典禮上，獲得了史密森尼學會伍德羅·威爾遜國際學者中心頒發的伍德羅·威爾遜公共服務獎。 [176]
為因應2016年大煙山山林大火，帕頓與許多鄉村音樂藝術家一起參加了為火災受害者籌款的電視募款活動。 [177] 活動於12月9日在納許維爾舉行。此外，帕頓也於12月13日為受害者舉辦了自己的電視募款活動[178]，據報道籌集了約900萬美元。 [179] 她的基金「我的人民基金」在六個月內每月向900多個受山林大火影響的家庭提供1000美元，由於籌款活動的增加，最終在最後一個月為每個家庭提供了5000美元，每個家庭總計1萬美元。 [180][181][182] 2018年，聯邦調查局（FBI）在華盛頓聯邦調查局總部舉行的頒獎典禮上，授予帕頓2018年度局長社區領導力獎，以表彰其在野火救援工作中做出的貢獻。該獎項由局長克里斯托弗·雷頒發，多莉塢基金會首席執行官戴維·多森代表帕頓接受了該獎項。 [181]
田納西大學醫學院研究了該基金對2016年野火受害者的經濟援助的影響。
Philanthropy
[edit]Since the mid-1980s, Parton has supported many charitable efforts, particularly in the area of literacy, primarily through her Dollywood Foundation. Her literacy program, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library,[162] which is a part of the Dollywood Foundation, was founded in honor of her father, who never learned to read or write.[163] It mails one book per month to each enrolled child from the time of their birth until they enter kindergarten. Currently, over 1600 local communities provide the Imagination Library to almost 850,000 children each month across the U.S., Canada, the UK, Australia, and the Republic of Ireland.[162] In February 2018, she donated her 100 millionth free book, a copy of Parton's children's picture book Coat of Many Colors, to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.[164] and was honored by the Library of Congress on account of the "charity sending out its 100 millionth book".[165]
In February 2025, Indiana governor Mike Braun declined to support a state 50% match for Parton's Imagination Library. Dollywood Foundation President Jeff Conyers said, "We are hopeful that Governor Braun and the Indiana Legislature will continue this vital investment by restoring the state's funding match for local Imagination Library programs."[166] Braun would soon afterwards task his wife Maureen with finding ways to keep the Imagination Library's Indiana chapter alive.[167]
For her work in literacy, Parton has received various awards, including Association of American Publishers Honors Award (2000), Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval (2001) (the first time the seal had been awarded to a person), American Association of School Administrators – Galaxy Award (2002), National State Teachers of the Year – Chasing Rainbows Award (2002), and Parents as Teachers National Center – Child and Family Advocacy Award (2003).
On May 8, 2009, Parton gave the commencement speech at the graduation ceremony for the University of Tennessee, Knoxville's College of Arts and Sciences.[168] During the ceremony, she received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from the university. It was only the second honorary degree given by the university, and in presenting the degree, the university's Chancellor, Jimmy Cheek, said, "Because of her career not just as a musician and entertainer, but for her role as a cultural ambassador, philanthropist and lifelong advocate for education, it is fitting that she be honored with an honorary degree from the flagship educational institution of her home state."[169]
In 2006, Parton published a cookbook, Dolly's Dixie Fixin's: Love, Laughter and Lots of Good Food.[170][171]
The Dollywood Foundation, funded from Parton's profits, has been noted for bringing jobs and tax revenues to a previously depressed region. Parton also has worked to raise money for several other causes, including the American Red Cross and HIV/AIDS-related charities.[172]
In December 2006, Parton pledged $500,000 toward a proposed $90 million hospital and cancer center to be constructed in Sevierville in the name of Robert F. Thomas, the physician who delivered her. She announced a benefit concert to raise additional funds for the project. The concert played to about 8,000 people.[173] That same year, Parton and Emmylou Harris allowed use of their music in a PETA ad campaign that encouraged pet owners to keep their dogs indoors rather than chained outside.[174]
In 2003, her efforts to preserve the bald eagle through the American Eagle Foundation's sanctuary at Dollywood earned her the Partnership Award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.[175] Parton received the Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service from the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars of the Smithsonian Institution at a ceremony in Nashville on November 8, 2007.[176]
In response to the 2016 Great Smoky Mountains wildfires, Parton was one of a number of country music artists who participated in a telethon to raise money for victims of the fires.[177] This was held in Nashville on December 9. In addition, Parton hosted her own telethon for the victims on December 13[178] and reportedly raised around $9 million.[179] Her fund, the "My People Fund", provided $1,000 a month for six months to over 900 families affected by the wildfires, finally culminating with $5,000 to each home in the final month due to increased fundraising, for a total of $10,000 per family.[180][181][182] In 2018, the FBI honored Parton for her wildfire aid work, awarding her the 2018 Director's Community Leadership Award at a ceremony at FBI Headquarters in Washington. The honor was bestowed by Director Christopher Wray and was accepted on Parton's behalf by David Dotson, the CEO of the Dollywood Foundation.[181]
The impact of the fund's financial relief for the 2016 wildfire victims was studied by University of Tennessee College of Social Work professor Stacia West, who examined the impact of cash transfers in poverty alleviation.[183] West surveyed 100 recipients of the emergency relief funds in April 2017 on topics including questions on housing, financial impact, physical and emotional health, and sources of support, with a follow-up survey conducted in December 2017. West found that the "My People Fund", in tandem with traditional disaster response, gave families the ability to make decisions that were most beneficial to them, and concluded that unconditional cash support may be more beneficial for disaster relief than conditional financial support.[184] The report cited the impact of the monthly financial disbursements from the "My People Fund" on residents' emergency savings: "Following the monthly disbursements of unconditional cash assistance, participants were able to return to baseline financial stability reported prior to the wildfire, and improve their ability to set aside savings for hypothetical future emergencies."[185]
Parton has been a generous donor to Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC). Among her gifts was a contribution to the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt Pediatric Cancer Program in honor of a friend, Naji Abumrad, and her niece, Hannah Dennison, who was successfully treated for leukemia as a child at the Children's Hospital.[186]
