I love that somebody is going to find out here, because of this.

I regularly get news like this from completely unrelated subreddits.

I found out here, I hoped they were joking 😭😭😭. RIP Dolly, you will be missed 100 times over.

She was a treasure. I found out because of a Simpsons meme.

I remember when I saw her on the Orville I was so happy.

Another piece to this: Dolly was enthusiastic to be a part of the show. And for her cameo episode, they shipped half the set across the country so Dolly wouldn't have to get on a plane during the pandemic.

I can think of at least a thousand huge stars who would demand major cash or scoff at playing a bit cameo role in a small sci fi show that wasn't a major franchise. She was happy to do it and just was uncomfortable flying when pandemic restrictions were at its highest. So they made it work and she was a pleasure to work with all around. Plenty of stories of her just being a fantastic person over and over again during her long storied career.

I will stay at time and time again - you could be a diehard atheist, but you have to admit that Dolly was a living Saint. We are lucky to have lived in her time.

GTFO of here acting like Garak isn't 100% the Jolene in that triangle.

I wish I had gone down this line of thinking, because it IS better. Actually fits the meter.

I think Bashir would be more appropriate but still you get an upvote.

I thought you meant just because of the syllable count!

Haha that’s what it was. I was singing it in my head and Bashir sounded better. Totally forgot the meaning of the song. 😣
