Summary
In an interview with Gayle King on CBS News, Cher recalled the first time she met Dolly Parton, describing her as "this chick with this major hair, white pants," and a white jacket-like shirt covered in buttons down the yoke. Cher said she turned to a man named Sandy and asked, "Who is that girl?" to which he replied, "You're gonna love her and she's gonna love you," a prediction Cher said came true. She described Parton as having a spirit that "was always thinking the best was happening, the best was gonna happen," noting that her friends loved her and her life was good. Cher added that no matter what happened, Parton was "gonna go with it or it was gonna get better."
Harry Langton/Getty Images I walked in and I see this chick with this major hair, white pants, and white, not exactly a shirt but a jacket-y shirt, and I looked up and she had buttons on, not the lapel, but you know the part that goes down your chest — a yoke. I looked at it and I thought, ‘Oh my God, I’ve never seen so many buttons in my life!’ I said, ‘Sandy, who is that girl?’ And he said, ‘You know what, Cher, you’re gonna love her and she’s gonna love you.’ And it was the truth, and we did. She just had a spirit, and it was a spirit that was always thinking the best was happening, the best was gonna happen. Her friends loved her. Her life was good. That’s who she was… No matter what was happening, she was gonna go with it or it was gonna get better. Cher speaking to Gayle King on CBS News about the first time she met Dolly Parton and the powerfully optimistic outlook she kept throughout her life.
