🤠 Read more about who she isGrowing up, Dolly came from a poor, tobacco-farming family – the fourth born to a long list of children in 1946. Despite her humble beginnings, the 9-5 singer has not been afraid in confronting her past by sharing her tough story. The one bedroom home housed up to 14 people and because of this, a number of children – up to three or four – were made to sleep in the same bed each night.
