Dolly Parton Named One of the Hottest Women of All Time
Dolly Parton is the lone country music beauty to find her way on to Men’s Health’s list of the 100 Hottest Women of All Time. The country queen comes in at No. 92 — just a smidgen hotter than singer Linda Ronstadt, but quite as hot as ’70s actress Susan George.
“If there’s a Dixie bombshell out there that trumps all the rest, it’s Dolly Parton,” the caption next to Parton’s photo reads. “The country music star turned heads for decades, and not just because of her famous figure. Parton’s toured and recorded since the late ’60s, and her career hasn’t waned nearly five decades later.”
The men’s magazine seems to consider business savvy alongside physical beauty and personality in deciding who is the hottest woman ever, an honor which they give to actress Jennifer Aniston. “Other sex symbols drift toward one-dimensionality, becoming flat icons in the process, but throughout her career Aniston has remained sexy, funny, and unmistakably real,” they write.
As previously mentioned, Parton is the only country singer to crack the Top 100, beating out other classic beauties like Carrie Underwood and Shania Twain. She also tops stars like actresses Julia Roberts and Cybill Shepherd (No. 95 and No. 97 respectively) and the famous legs of singer Tina Turner (No. 98).
