Dolly Parton has written a musical based on her life - but has no plans to have it made until she's lived a little more.

The country legend, who celebrated her 61st birthday this month, hasn't finished her story yet - so the musical she dreamed up will have to wait.

Parton explains, "I've written a musical of my life story. I've pretty much got it all written. I'm hoping that possibly I may do that as a movie. Then somebody else can take it later and put it on Broadway. I want it to be the right time. I'm still living it, so I don't want to tell my life story yet. I thought it was a little premature."
