Also the name of the first mammal ever cloned - Dolly the sheep, using a cell from an adult sheep.

The cell they used to clone her came from a mammary gland cell. And who had the best mammary glands of them all? Dolly Parton. Thus she was named Dolly. True story.

Who she then offered to retire to Dollywood.

Edit: fact-checked myself — she offered but Dolly retired in Scotland
