Country music songbird, writer, actress, philanthropist and entrepreneur Dolly Parton is easily one of the most recognizable celebrities in the world today, with numerous awards and accolades across the globe. From humble beginnings, hers is truly a rags-to-riches American success story. Talent, drive and a keen business sense have taken this legend far from her country roots, but her heart stayed true to the mountains where she was raised.
C.J. Morgan has always been a big fan of Dolly Parton and they were enough alike in looks, sound and personality that it was an easy stretch for her to recreate the living legend for shows and appearances. She has won almost every Dolly look-alike contest she has ever entered and even has the trademark laugh. Her renditions of Dolly's songs are as heartfelt as the original and she projects the same down-to-earth sense of playful joy and spontaneity evident in interviews with Ms. Parton.
From Ms. Parton's home state of Tennessee and now in Las Vegas, as one of the most authentic Dolly impersonator/tribute artists in the business, C.J. is constantly photographed, asked for autographs and sought out by tourists, fans, organizations and production companies.
With her delightful sense of humor, (like Dolly), attention to detail, musical talent and an extensive background in improvisational theater, C.J. can add fun and excitement to any event.
