In 1978, Dolly Parton became the very first country music songstress to get featured on Playboy magazine’s cover!
And Dolly surprised her fans by daring to don the official Playboy bunny costume for the occasion. (You go, girl!)
However, Parton specified that she would not appear nude. As for whether she would repeat that appearance for Playboy before retiring?
Dolly didn’t just say “yes.” The country music singer mused that she could put on the exact same bunny suit for the cover!
“Boobs are still the same!” joked Parton.
