Dolly Parton and Carl Dean star in these intimate and amusing photographs taken when they were young, long before becoming one of entertainment’s most private couples. 🥹❤️


The images, which show them playing in front of a camera and laughing together, were revealed as part of the new museum dedicated to the singer’s life in Nashville.


Parton and Dean met in 1964 and married two years later. They stayed together for nearly 59 years, while Carl chose to remain almost entirely out of the spotlight and away from his wife’s public events. That’s why such candid photos of the two of them are especially rare.
