Dolly Parton was on Larry King Now and the OraTV wanted to know what her “funniest fan encounter?” She told him, it happened to her around the time that her song Jolene came out and she had just moved in to her new house in Brentwood, Ca. She said, “I came home one day, from work…and there was a basket at the gate. And I thought, ‘who’s left, somebody left us some food.'” Then she continued, “I looked in it and there was a baby in it. And there was a note that said, ‘My name is Jolene and I want you to have me.'”
She didn’t know what to do, so she brought the baby into the house and called the police and child services. They took the baby and to this day, she doesn’t know what happened to her. I wonder what happened to that girl that would be in her early 40’s now and if she knows if she was left in front of Dolly Parton’s house. Could you imagine if this girl didn’t know and has been wondering her whole life, why she is such a big fan of Miss Dolly and her song Jolene? How crazy would that be?
When it comes to her story, that is definitely in the Top 10 of the strangest fan encounters. But then again, I think Dolly Parton would be a great person to raise my child if Gd forbid I was going to give it up.
