LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Dolly Parton needs no introduction. The diva has ruled millions of hearts for decades.

Like her talent, her personality has also played a vital role in her popularity. Though Dolly Parton’s height is only reportedly 5 ft (1.52 m/ 152 cm), she is not less attractive than her contemporaries.

Also, Dolly Parton’s height is not much less than the height of the average US woman, which is apparently 5 ft 4 in (1.63 m/ 163 cm).

The '9 to 5' singer once reportedly said, “I'm five feet tall in my bare feet and six-four in my shoes and wig! You have to stand out and I stand out in a couple of places.”

In 1984, Dolly Parton’s height was mentioned to Tallahassee Democrat, “I'm only five feet tall. I'm very small. A lot of people think I'm much bigger.”

While speaking with Interview Magazine, the actress said, “I’m only five feet tall. I walk tall, I got a tall attitude.”

“But I’m just a little bitty person. When people see me in airports they stop me and say, ‘Gee, I thought you were a big person,’” she added.

Besides, in 1989, Parton reportedly added, “I’m a little person, you see. I’m only five feet one — five feet two if I’m standing really tall — and for my height I’m a good weight now, about 107 pounds.”

Does Dolly Parton have children?

Dolly Parton has been married to Carl Thomas Dean since 1966. However, they do not have any children.

What age is Dolly Parton now?

In January 2023, Parton turned 77. She explained to DJ Ken Bruce on Greatest Hits Radio, as reported by The Independent, why she won’t go on musical tours.

Patron added, “You have to stay gone so long on a tour to make it productive and prosperous and that’s a lot of time at my age – I ain’t got no years to waste.”
