Dolly Parton, the Queen of Country, is known not only for her iconic voice, wit, and larger-than-life personality, but also for her refreshingly candid take on life and love. Over her decades-long career, she’s been open about her numerous crushes on male co-stars, each bringing a unique spark to her on-set experiences.
While Parton has been happily married for decades to Carl Dean, her playful flirtations and celebrity crushes have always fascinated fans. One such story involves the ever-talented and somewhat controversial actor whom she co-starred with in the 1992 filmStraight Talk.
Who is the Actor Dolly Parton Called a “Great Kisser”?
James Woods may not have been the obvious choice to star oppositeDolly PartoninStraight Talk, a romantic comedy in which she plays a small-town woman with big dreams who lands a radio advice show in Chicago.
Their on-screen chemistry was undeniable, as were the impressions Woods left on Parton, particularly when it came to his legendary kissing skills. In her autobiography,Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business, Parton dished out a memorable and cheeky compliment about Woods,
What I remember him for is that he is a great kisser. I don’t know what it is that makes one man able to kiss so much better than another. If I did, I would put that in a book that would sell a helluva lot better than this one. Whatever it is, James Woods has it in spades.

Woods, known for his intense performances and sometimes controversial off-screen personality, wasn’t the first leading man fans would think Parton would describe this way. Yet her ability to appreciate someone’s quirks, coupled with her open-mindedness, left her completely smitten by his romantic abilities, at least on set.
Why Was Dolly Warned About James Woods?
Despite the lighthearted nature of their relationship on set, Parton was apparently warned to keep her distance fromJames Woods, particularly because he was hard to work with, as revealed by her in the same book.
I love James Woods. People had warned me that he could be difficult to work with, but to me he was a thrill to be around, although I never saw him off the set. He is very talented and intelligent, and I respect him for those things.

But James Woods wasn’t the only celebrity Parton had ever gushed over. In fact, she has been quite open about developing crushes on many of her co-stars. Her playful approach to romance, even as a happily married woman, has always made for entertaining interviews and anecdotes (viaCheatsheet).
Though these crushes are all fun and innocent, Parton has always been clear that her heart belongs to her husband, Carl Dean, who has stayed out of the spotlight for most of their 50-plus years together.
