Not because he was a recluse. Because his wife was well-known, Dean didn’t feel the need to adjust his house, business, or lifestyle.
Due in large part to his dedication to maintaining a quiet existence, Dean and Parton’s private life was unusual in a field where relationships are often acted out in the public view.
In an interview with Oprah Daily, Dolly Parton reportedly said that her husband, Carl Dean, doesn’t really like her music.
Parton has said that her husband loved rock and roll and preferred the songs of Elvis Presley and Led Zeppelin over rural twang.
One may think that a Dolly Parton spouse would like country music. Dean, however, never pretended to be someone he wasn’t; he was unashamedly himself.
