Dolly Parton only wanted her longtime wig and makeup artist at her side when she died

Why Cheryl Riddle Was Chosen

• Image preservation: Dolly fiercely guarded her public image throughout her career. Even in death, she wanted to look glamorous.
• Professional trust: Riddle had styled Dolly for countless TV appearances, photo shoots, and music videos.
• Final tribute: At Dolly’s open-casket funeral, Cheryl’s work was praised as “knocking it out of the park,” with Dolly looking radiant.
