Sorry, had to post again.

As a woman who matured in the late 80’s, early 90’s... born and raised in Atlanta... Dixie was our HERO!!! The working woman, take no guff and still be a classy lady hero!

Just damn.

I feel the same as you. She was the epitome of the modern, iron-fist-in-velvet-glove Southern lady.

Ms. Carter was also a registered Republican who never hid her political views (or party affiliation) in Hollywood. And her most famous TV role was as the liberal Julia Sugarbaker on Designing Women. She played that role with verve and style (real-life progressives should take notes); it wasn’t until years later that I found out she was an active member of the GOP. Her ability to “pull off” her Designing Women one can be summed up in one word: acting.

Dixie Carter was an originial and an immensely talented actress. She is already missed.
