About Star of the Show: My Life on Stage

Star of the Show: My Life on Stage is a dazzling celebration of Dolly Parton’s extraordinary career as one of the world’s most beloved performers. The final book in her acclaimed photographic trilogy – following Songteller (lyrics) and Behind the Seams (fashion) – this definitive volume combines personal stories, 350 full-colour photographs, exclusive archive images, and an eight-page gatefold detailing her lifetime of performances.

Parton shares memories from her formative years performing with family and alongside country legend Porter Wagoner, through her breakout tours at state fairs, arenas, and international festivals. From her onscreen debut in 9 to 5 to her 2023 Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving halftime show, Dolly’s life on stage reflects seven decades of resilience, creativity, and joy. Readers also get an intimate look at collaborations with musical greats like Kenny Rogers, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris, alongside insights into her approach to touring, performing, and sustaining an iconic career.

Brimming with her signature wit, warmth, and sincerity, Star of the Show is both a love letter to fans and an essential collector’s item – a tribute to the unparalleled artistry of Dolly Parton.
