"I love boys. I still do," she said. "In the early days, I had a big crush on Johnny Cash. He was young and skinny, and he just had that magnetism. The way he moved around — you know, so sexy. I found out later he was just having withdrawals from drugs, but it still touched me. He was so, so sexy."
The country music star and her husband, Carl Thomas Dean, have been married for 56 years. For Dean's 79th birthday, Parton recreated her iconic Playboy cover.
