The gorgeous legendary entertainer Dolly Parton celebrates her 66th birthday today, and KWKH listeners marked the day trying to guess Dolly's measurements. The answer?

40 double D, 20, 36.  Two different listeners guessed it.  Tom got Dolly's waist and hip measurements correct, and a lady called in to correctly guess her bust size.  She has tiny feet, wearing a size 5 and a half.

All jokes aside,  Dolly is one of the best songwriters in Nashville.

She wrote, "I Will Always Love You," which also became a huge hit for Whitney Houston.  In fact, Dolly was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2001.

She also wrote the song, "Nine to Five," which was used in the movie of the same name in which she starred with Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda.  She actually came up with the song by tapping her finger nails!

She was the first recipient of the Country Music Association's "Country Music Honors" Award in 1993.

She starred in the  movie Straight Talk in 1992, and apparently had such a bad experience that she retired from movie making for a while, doing mostly television appearances and concerts.

She's back in a new movie called Joyful Noise that premiered earlier this month.

Hundreds of thousands of visitors each year enjoy Dolly's own theme park,  Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
