When he came to the U.S. from Austria eight years ago, Body Builder Arnold Schwarzenegger got hooked on country music-and Nashville Star Dolly Parton. Invited by Photographer Annie Leibovitz to join Dolly in a picture-taking session for Rolling Stone, Arnold rushed back from a visit to Israel to oblige.
