Back in 1978, Dolly Parton graced the cover of Playboy magazine, and although her appearance did not include any nudity, for her 75th birthday next year Dolly would love to do it again.
Parton revealed her birthday goal in a recent interview with 60 Minutes Australia. The country music legend was asked when she might consider slowing down. “I don’t plan to retire, I just turned 74. And I plan to be on the cover of Playboy magazine again. I did Playboy magazine years ago, I thought it would be such a hoot if they’ll go for it — I don’t know if they will — if I could be on the cover again when I’m 75.”
Reporter Tom Steinfort then asked if she would wear the same outfit. She replied, “Maybe. I could probably use it. Boobs are still the same.”
When asked how she maintains her image, Parton quipped, “Good lighting, good makeup, and good doctors. And a good attitude don’t hurt any either.” Later in the interview, she said, “I have young boys still whistling at me. I say, ‘I’m married, but I ain’t dead and I ain’t blind!’”
“The good part about me though, I have my own look. I look kind of cartoonish and cartoons don’t really age that much,” she exclaimed. “Even when I’m 90 I’ll still probably look about the same way, just a little thicker makeup, bigger hair.”
Check out the full interview below. So far Playboy hasn’t issued a public response, but based on the continuing power of the Dolly Parton brand, we would not be surprised to see a 75th Birthday special coming our way.
Even if she has no plans to retire anytime soon, Parton is still aware of her mortality, and has prepped an entire collection of songs to only be released when she passes away. You can read more about that here.
