Dolly Parton reveals secrets to her 53-year marriage to Carl Thomas Dean

Beloved Country Music legend Dolly Parton has been married for over 50 years, and as she explains, it all started out with a very simple dinner.

What's the secret to a 50-plus year marriage? Ask Dolly Parton. And you might be surprised: It's not about grand romantic gestures.

"I've been married for 53 years come next May, and my husband and I have a great relationship," the 72-year-old country music legend told People magazine recently. "We've been together most of our lives."

After Parton met Carl Thomas Dean at a Wishy Washy laundromat, the pair went on their first date. But he did not escort her to a big fancy restaurant.

"He pulled up to the drive-in window and got our food at McDonald's," said Parton. "We know a few little places we can go without being bothered. He only likes to go places where he can be comfortable!"

The pair married in 1966 and have remained together ever since.

Parton is a showbiz expert, but Dean largely stays clear of the spotlight. So when they go on vacations, they're more likely to keep it low-key in a "little camper" and picnic in the Tennessee countryside.

So about those secrets? Parton says, "I always joke and laugh when people ask me what's the key to my long marriage and lasting love. "I always say, 'Stay gone!' and there's a lot of truth to that.

"I travel a lot, but we really enjoy each other when we're together and the little things we do."

But as she told TODAY in 2014, one thing they don't share is her music.

"I know every line in his face and he knows every hair in my wig," she said. "(He's) not particularly (a fan of my songs), but he loves me. He loves me."

Parton and Dean never had children together, though she is godmother to Miley Cyrus. As she told TODAY last year, she's fine with that — she remains busy with her Imagination Library, and also recorded new songs for the upcoming Netflix film starring Jennifer Aniston, "Dumplin'."

"God has a plan for everything," she noted. "I think it probably was his plan for me not to have kids so everybody's kids could be mine."

In his proposal, Wesson noted that Obama held a campaign rally at Rancho Cienega Park on Rodeo Road when running for president and that the area already has streets named after presidents, such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
