Dolly Parton's Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Vandalized, Repaired

musicSep 2, 2026296,759

Dolly Parton’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was reported scratched and cracked after fans left flowers and tributes following her death; a fan posted photos that prompted the report of vandalism. Ana Martinez, spokesperson for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, said the star had already been scheduled for repair for cracks late last week and that the fan’s photo shows what appears to be vandalism. Crews from the Hollywood Historic Trust are carrying out the repairs; Martinez said the flowers were removed the morning before work began so the scheduled repair could proceed. Martinez said the repair is ongoing, the surface will cure, and the star will be polished on Friday for fans to enjoy. Parton died last week at age 80 and was buried following a private family funeral at Woodlawn Memorial Park and Mausoleum in Nashville, Tennessee, next to her husband Carl Dean. The chamber attributed maintenance and repair responsibility for Walk of Fame stars to the Hollywood Historic Trust, which is handling this restoration.

I can only imagine how awful a person someone must be to vandalize Dolly Parton's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame days after her death. I'm guessing if there were Flock camera footage of this, we'd see the vandal running away in a red cap. people.com/dolly-parton...

#DollyParton was born and lived in the same state that founded the KKK—yet lived her life as a true ally, nay, an ✨accomplice✨ to Black people. When’s the last time you recall Black people grieving a blonde white lady, not to mention a proud country ass southerner, like we’ve wept for Auntie Dolly?
