Dolly Parton was just a young country singer with a big dream when she met Carl Dean at a laundromat in Nashville, Tennessee. Talk about a love connection in a unlikely place! This chance encounter would change the course of Dolly's life forever, and we can't help but wonder what would have happened if she had done her laundry somewhere else.
Carl Dean was a quiet and reserved guy, which made him the perfect match for Dolly's bubbly personality. He was working as a asphalt contractor at the time, and Dolly was immediately drawn to his kind heart and down-to-earth nature. It wasn't long before these two were head over heels in love, and the rest, as they say, is history.
