Dolly Parton Likes Everything About Betty White Except For THIS One Thing

For years, Parton and White's fans have known how much the two stars were very fond of each other. Even after White's death, the singer spoke highly of the "Golden Girls" actress in her interviews and appearances.

However, Parton made it clear that - despite her continuous adoration for White - she hopes she will not live as long as the 99-year-old actress did.

In a new interview with Access, the "9 to 5" hitmaker said that she loved White as she was great as a person.

"And I hope to be like that. I hope to be able to, if I live that long, I hope to be able to be active and productive, and I will, you know, be trying if I live that long," she said, adding: "I hope I don't live that long, to be honest. I just hope I go out at my peak whenever that peak might be and then just fall out like that."

It was not the first time she spoke about White. On New Year's Day, Parton sent the comedic icon's family her condolences as they dealt with the recent loss. She also nodded to her hit "I Will Always Love You" by expressing her love toward White.
