6 Bigger Dreams

Chapter 6 Bigger Dreams Around 1976, Dolly found a new big-time Hollywood manager, Sandy Gallin. He managed stars like Cher. Dolly got an apartment in Los Angeles. Sandy thought she should branch out into pop music and not just do country music. He was right. Dolly soon had her first million-selling record, Here You Come Again. In 1979, it won a Grammy award for Best Country Female Vocal Performance! Winning a Grammy is as important to musicians as winning an Oscar is to actors. She also had her own TV show, Dolly, in

1976年左右，多莉找到了一位新的好莱坞大牌经纪人桑迪·加林。 他管理过雪儿这样的明星。 多莉在洛杉矶找到了一套公寓。 桑迪认为她应该拓展到流行音乐领域，而不仅仅是乡村音乐。 他是对的。多莉很快就有了她的第一张百万销量的唱片《Here You Come Again》。 1979年，它获得了格莱美最佳乡村女歌手奖！赢得格莱美奖对音乐家的重要性，就像赢得奥斯卡奖对演员的重要性一样。 她也有自己的电视节目《多莉》

the 1980s and often appeared on other TV shows like The Tonight Show, Cher, and Hollywood Squares. Dolly toured in London, Sweden, Alaska, and Hawaii. She was working so hard, she lost her voice! Dolly had to cancel a lot of shows, as well as her new TV show, to rest her voice. Dolly, Carl, and Dolly's five younger brothers and sisters moved to a twenty-threeroom mansion outside Nashville. Carl, who was retired, helped build it. Willow Lake Plantation was their dream house with a swimming pool and a lot of land. In 1977, Dolly formed a band called Gypsy Fever with some of her family. Since Dolly still hated to fly, the band went on tour in a very fancy bus called "The Coach of Many Colors." It was pink, purple, and silver on the outside.

她还经常出现在《今夜秀》、《雪儿》和《好莱坞广场》等电视节目中。 多莉在伦敦、瑞典、阿拉斯加和夏威夷进行了巡演。 她工作太辛苦了，嗓子都哑了！多莉不得不取消很多节目，包括她的新电视节目，以休息她的声音。 多莉、卡尔和多莉的五个弟弟妹妹搬到了纳什维尔郊外一座有23个房间的豪宅里。 已经退休的卡尔帮助建造了它。 柳树湖种植园是他们梦想中的房子，有游泳池和大片土地。 1977年，多莉和她的一些家人组成了一支名为吉普赛狂热的乐队。 由于多莉仍然讨厌坐飞机，乐队乘坐一辆非常豪华的巴士进行巡演，这辆巴士被称为“多种颜色的教练”。 外面是粉红色、紫色和银色的。

Inside, it was yellow, bright pink, and orange. There was a kitchen, a dining area, a shower with a tiny tub, a lounge, a private suite with a queen bed and prayer altar, and bunk beds for the driver and guests. The bus also had closets for wigs and costumes and a cosmetic area. Dolly liked staying in the bus much more than in fancy hotel rooms.

里面是黄色、亮粉色和橙色。 有一个厨房，一个用餐区，一个带小浴缸的淋浴间，一个休息室，一个带大床和祈祷祭坛的私人套房，以及司机和客人的双层床。 巴士上还有假发和服装的壁橱以及化妆品区。 多莉喜欢呆在公共汽车里，不喜欢住在豪华的旅馆里。

Dolly and Gypsy Fever had to fly, though, to perform in England. The British people loved Dolly. She even performed for and met Queen Elizabeth II of England. Dolly said that the queen wore "just as much jewelry as I did, though maybe she was a little tastier with it."

不过，多莉和吉普赛狂热乐队必须飞到英国演出。 英国人喜欢多莉。 她甚至为英国女王伊丽莎白二世表演并与她见面。 多莉说女王戴着“和我一样多的珠宝，尽管她戴着这些珠宝可能更有品味。”

Even meeting the queen, Dolly wore a big blond wig and dressed as flashy as usual. Dolly liked herself the way she was. She joked, "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap!" Dolly continued to put out many more big hits and collect many awards for her special mix

即使见到女王，多莉也戴着金色的大假发，穿得和往常一样华丽。 多莉喜欢她原来的样子。 她开玩笑说：“要花很多钱才能看起来这么便宜！”多莉继续推出了更多的热门歌曲，并因她的特别混音而获得了许多奖项

of pop and country. She said, "I'm not leaving country. I'm just taking it with me." In 1978, she was named Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year. She wasn't just a star; now she was a superstar! Stardom came with problems. Porter Wagoner was unhappy that he wasn't getting a share of Dolly's success. He bad-mouthed her and sued her for a lot of money. There were battles in court which wore Dolly down. Gossip magazines were hard on her because she was gaining weight. Dolly loved her fried chicken... especially when she was under stress. But Dolly still kept on dreaming. She was a singing star. She was a TV star. What else could she do? What about movies? What about Hollywood?

流行音乐和乡村音乐。她说：“我不会离开这个国家。 我只是把它带走了。” 1978年，她被乡村音乐协会评为年度最佳艺人。 她不仅仅是一个明星；现在她成了超级明星！成为明星伴随着问题。 波特·瓦格纳很不高兴，因为他不能分享多莉的成功。 他说她的坏话，还告她要很多钱。 法庭上的争斗使多莉精疲力竭。 八卦杂志对她很苛刻，因为她的体重在增加。 多莉喜欢她的炸鸡…… 尤其是当她有压力的时候。 但是多莉仍然继续做梦。 她是个歌星。她是个电视明星。 她还能做什么呢？那电影呢？ 好莱坞怎么样？
