Dolly Parton has revealed that she’s been sleeping in her makeup every night for decades in case of an ’emergency’.
The Hollywood actress, 77, admitted that she chooses to sleep in a full face of glam in case she’s spotted by unexpected photographers in the streets.

‘I thought, “I’m not heading out on the streets without makeup in case there are cameras out there! I’m going to be ready to go!”‘
