Dolly’s Life On Stage Chronicled In New Photo Book Due In November

/by

Dolly Parton has revealed she’ll release her upcoming book, Star Of The Show: My Life on Stage on Nov. 11 via Ten Speed Press.

Star Of The Show: My Life on Stage is the last in Parton’s photographic trilogy following Songteller (lyrics) and Behind the Seams (fashion), and in it she shares an in-depth look at her career. It looks at Parton’s early years with Porter Wagoner to breaking out on her own, earning her first million-selling song with “Here You Come Again” and more. It also includes her time in 9 to 5, her stints on TV variety series and specials and other feature films and her performance journey is as a worldwide touring headliner from 2006 to the present in sold-out arenas and stadiums, as well as sharing the stage with Kenny Rogers, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris and many others.

“I’m so proud that I’ve been able to spend the last 70 plus years doing what I feel I was born to do…singing, writing, and performing,” says Parton. “Even prouder that I’ve been able to do it with and for my fans. God bless you everyone.”

A deluxe edition of the book will also be published simultaneously by Ten Speed Press featuring the 350 images and eight-page gatefold list of performances from the original edition, as well as exclusive features, including gilded edges, a redesigned cover with upgraded special effects, a satin ribbon marker, and three 8″ x 10″ Star of the Show–themed full-color prints. An audio version, read by Dolly, will also be published by Penguin Random House Audio.
