Dolly Parton’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star on Hollywood Boulevard has undergone repairs after photos showed scratches and cracks, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce told The Independent. Ana Martinez said the star had been scheduled for repair for cracks last week and that a fan reported the scratches on social media; the Hollywood Historic Trust crew is currently making the repairs. Flowers and tributes that fans had left at the marker were removed yesterday morning so the scheduled repair work could proceed. The chamber said the repaired terrazzo will cure and be polished on Friday for fans to view. Parton died last week at age 80; fans had gathered at the star as a memorial following her death.

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?
