Dolly Talks Mountain Medicine in Rare Interview
The Dr. Steve Show, Tribune Broadcasting’s nationally syndicated health, wellness and lifestyle program, received an Emmy® nomination from The New York Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for the “Down Home With Dolly” episode.
The Dr. Steve Show paid a visit to Nashville last spring where host Dr. Steve Salvatore got personal with Dolly Parton to discuss down home mountain medicine from her Appalachian youth. In this rare, personal, and intimate interview Dolly Parton covered topics ranging from growing up poor in the Smoky Mountains as the 4th of 12 children, reminiscing about her family’s use of “mountain medicine” and the death of her baby brother. Personal stories and anecdotes include the chicken that stole the nipple and
“borrowing” her grandmother’s false teeth to her philanthropy and involvement in literacy programs (which have provided over 40 million books to date). Dolly also discusses the death of Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson, and the perils of fame.
“It is always great to be nominated for anything. I remember doing The Dr. Steve Show and I was thinking at the time ‘I have enjoyed doing this as much, if not more than any show I have done in years and years.’ So, I was excited to be cialis sale nominated for this particular show. So thanks, and wish me luck!”
Executive Producer David Brown said, “Dolly is an American treasure and her life story, her “coat of many colors” is part of the American fabric. As both a fan and a producer I wanted to bring to our audience a side of Dolly they may not have known and also pay homage to the people of the great Smoky Mountains and their fortitude. Researching, writing, and producing this particular show was a pleasure as I wanted to give back to Dolly a part of the joy she had given me and my family as a performer over the years. To know that she herself was so pleased with the outcome is truly a high point of my career.”
