Dolly Parton

If the producers wanted to focus more on Dolly's "rag to riches" story in this episode, which part of the interview would have been the best way to organize this segment?

• The part of the episode where they describe Porter Wagner's expensive rhinestone suits so as to contrast with Dolly's humble wardrobe.

• The part of the episode where Dolly talks about being a young, newly married woman in order to focus on her need to work even though it wasn't the norm at the time.

• The part of the episode where they talk about Dolly's hard times in Nashville when she had to take food scraps from hallways which could lead to a flashback for growing up poor.

• The part of the episode where they talk about how poorly song writers were paid in order to make a point that Dolly should have been paid more.
