American singer Dolly Parton Wants to Be on Cover of Playboy For Her 75th Birthday
Playboy, you have 24 hours to respond. Sitting down with 60 Minutes Australia, Parton was asked if she has any plans on retiring at any point in the future, and the country music icon said her intentions are quite the opposite.
Not only does she not see herself stepping back from music any time soon, she'd also like to appear in Playboy one more time. Dolly Parton recently celebrated her 74th birthday on January 19 and while she has a myriad of accolades under her belt, she shows no signs of stopping now.
Why would she? Instead, the "9 to 5" singer is dreaming big.
When asked what her "retirement age" would be, Parton made it clear that retirement isn't an option for her. "Well, I don't plan to retire. I just turned 74. Parton appeared on the cover of Playboy in 1978, when she was 32, rocking a Playboy bunny costume -- including a revealing black bustier and black bunny ears. It was a bold move for Parton at the time -- who had cultivated a wholesome, country girl image during her career.
I plan to be on the cover of Playboy magazine again," Parton went on. "See, I did Playboy magazine years ago. I thought it'd be such a hoot if they go for it, I don't know if they will... if I could be on the cover again when I'm 75."
There you have it, the Queen of Country has spoken it into existence.
In case fans need to refresh their memory, the star first appeared on the cover of Playboy back in 1978 when she was 32. The iconic cover featured Parton wearing the signature Playboy bunny black leotard and bunny ears. Later in the interview, Parton also addressed the secret to her youthful longevity and beauty, which she attributed to "good lighting, good makeup, good doctors."
And even then, she was setting records. At the time, Parton was the first country star to grace the magazine's cover. Parton admitted that she's had "about all the nips and tucks I can have," but said that she's cultivated her own image, which allows her to have a timeless appearance.
When asked if she'd wear the same costume again for a potential cover, Parton responded, "I could probably use it. Maybe."
"And a good attitude don't hurt any, neither," she added.
She added, "I'm kind of cartoonish and cartoons don't really age that much. When I'm 90, I'll probably look about the same way! Just thicker makeup, bigger hair!"
