Parton was 32 years old when she appeared on the cover of Playboy, and in March 2020, the actress said that she hoped to do it again. A few months later, Parton said in a separate interview that she'd had conversations with the magazine about it.

\"I just might do it. If I can do it in good taste and they [Playboy] want it, we'll do it along with a really good interview inside,\" Parton said. \"So, yeah, it's possible.\"
