BARBARA MANDRELL INCLUDED IN PEOPLE MAGAZINE'S
"BEAUTIFUL AT EVERY AGE" LIST
For the Second Year in a Row, Barbara Mandrell is Recognized as
One of
People Magazine's "Most Beautiful"
Nashville, Tenn. -- May 5, 2008 -- In conjunction with People
magazine's "100 Most Beautiful Issue," Barbara Mandrell was listed
under "Beautiful at Every Age" on People.com. After retiring from an
illustrious 38 year career over 10 years ago when she stepped off
the stage and out of the spotlight, Barbara is still turning heads.
Among her many accolades, Barbara was the first artist to win the
CMA Entertainer Of The Year for two consecutive years and has won
multiple awards from the Country Music Association, Academy of
Country Music, American Music Awards, The Grammy® Awards,
People's Choice Awards as well as a Dove Award. Her variety
show, "Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters" on NBC drew
millions of viewers weekly. Barbara has also starred in numerous
television shows, including her farewell performance at Nashville's
Opry House, a sell-out concert titled "Barbara Mandrell and the
Do-Rites: The Last Dance." Currently, she spends her time lending
support to projects such as the beautification of Music City with the
Nashville Music Garden and helping local animal shelters. It
seems that even in retirement, and to no one's surprise, Barbara's
legacy continues to thrive.

these executives come to Nashville hungry, telling us exactly what they need.
They want to go home with music for their movies, so they’re more than willing
to listen to what this community has to offer them.” Lucas Reynolds of the
band Blue Merle who wrote the song "Something Inside" for August Rush
explained, "As a fully committed songwriter who attended the "Music in the
Movies" panel and the Nashville Screenwriters Conference events a couple
years back, I was provided with an amazing opportunity to write for films. Every
songwriter and artist--no matter what genre--should go to this panel!" "Music in
