The one person Dolly Parton allowed at her deathbed revealed
Dolly Parton allowed only one person to see her when she was on her deathbed — her longtime wig and makeup artist, Cheryl Riddle.
The “9 to 5” singer’s dying wish was that no one could see her on her deathbed because she didn’t want anyone to remember her in that state, sources told TMZ.
However, Parton allowed Riddle to be present so the singer could be dolled up after she died.
