Superstar. Philanthropist. Icon.

The world lost a legend earlier this week when Dolly Parton died at the age of 80. Clay Patrick McBride, assistant professor in our Photo School, had the pleasure of photographing the country music singer-songwriter in 2003 at Dollywood for PARADE Magazine. 🪩🎤🌟

“Ultimate star power!” Clay said of the experience. “She is like a disco ball. When she walks in the room, everything is illuminated.”
