  "account": "Dolly Parton's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was recently vandalized, but her death last week has led to the installation of a brand new star in her honor, Variety reports. Her original star, granted in 1984, had reportedly developed a crack and was showing its age. The Walk of Fame's producer stated that \"Our Dolly is back! Hollywood is thrilled that her star is back in pristine condition for fans to enjoy forever.\" Parton's estate is also planning tributes to the country icon, including the \"Parties Of A Lifetime\" DollyFest in Nashville and London in 2027, as well as a Broadway musical titled Dolly: A True Original Musical.",
