Dolly Parton’s Sister Stella on Why Icon Didn’t Let Fans Know How Sick She Was

Dolly Parton's younger sister, Stella Parton, sits down exclusively with 'CBS Mornings' anchor Gayle King, revealing why the late country star kept her battle with cancer a secret. Stella says it's because Dolly hated anything negative and wanted to avoid her fans and family worrying about her. Dolly died Aug. 25 after a brief battle with the disease, and was laid to rest three days later. Gayle's full interview with Stella airs Thursday.
