What to know

  • California officially established September 25 as Dolly Parton Day following her death on August 25 at age 80.
  • The date was chosen to reference her iconic 1980 hit song '9 to 5' (9-2-5), which she performed in the film of the same name.
  • The bipartisan bill was co-authored by Democratic and Republican state senators and honors Parton's music, acting career, and philanthropic work, particularly her Imagination Library.

“Her legacy goes well beyond her music. Through the Imagination Library, she put books into the hands of millions of children and throughout her life, she led with kindness, acceptance and a belief that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.”
