DOLLY Parton has been crowned a Guinness World Records icon for her stash of 11 awards, as the Daily Star revealed yesterday.

The country legend has been making chart history since her first single came out in 1959. Then just 13 years old, she would go on to release 66 studio albums - more than any other female country singer.

She was born Dolly Rebecca Parton in the tiny town of Pittman Center in Tennessee on January 19, 1946. The fourth of 12 children, she has seven surviving brothers and sisters.

The singer says her parents, farmer Robert and homemaker Avie Lee, were "dirt poor." They had to pay the missionary who delivered her with a sack of cornmeal.
