Dolly Parton’s team says several projects she personally approved will continue after her death, including a biopic, documentary, avatar performance, museum, coffee brand, dog treats and facilities for truck drivers. The plans underline how Parton’s career extended far beyond music, with a carefully managed business and charitable legacy expected to remain active for years.

Parton died in Nashville on 25 August, aged 80, following a brief battle with cancer after recent kidney and autoimmune problems. Her Broadway musical, *Dolly: A True Original Musical*, is due to open in December, while an unreleased song remains sealed at Dollywood until 2045; a private funeral is expected in Nashville this weekend.
