Sometimes even the original can't beat the impersonators. The shocking truth? Dolly Parton once entered a Dolly Parton look-alike contest—and finished last. According to Parton, she was visiting a gay bar in West Hollywood when her hairdresser convinced her to join the competition as a joke. She exaggerated her signature look even more than usual, expecting no one would recognize the real Dolly. Instead, the audience gave louder applause to the other contestants, including a drag performer who captured her larger-than-life style and personality so well that he won the contest. Parton later laughed that she received the least applause of anyone competing. The story has become one of her most famous anecdotes, reflecting her self-deprecating humor and her appreciation for fans who celebrate her iconic image. As she later joked, "It's terrible when you lose a Dolly Parton look-alike contest."
