Dolly Parton's Selfless Final Offer: The Untold Story

Dolly Parton’s sister Stella revealed the late country singer wanted to use her cancer diagnosis to help others before she died.

“My sister was one of the most generous, thoughtful and kind people I’ve ever known,” Stella wrote in a Facebook tribute Thursday.

“What the world saw is exactly who she was, so much so, she told me recently that if there was no hope for her, she would still allow her medical team to try experimental drugs in the hope of helping others in the future,” the “I Want To Hold You In My Dreams Tonight” singer, 77, added.
