It is a sad day, indeed. One of my absolute favorite women has died. While I most strongly identify with her consummate modern Southern Belle character, Julia Sugarbaker, on the sitcom Designing Women, she is in real life known as the actress and singer, Dixie Carter. Ms. Carter is survived by her husband, Hal Holbrook, and two daughters. And scores of Designing Women fans like me who appreciate her portrayal of a strong, opinionated, outspoken woman who was also beautiful, feminine, and gentle. Dixie has passed from this world much too soon but Julia lives on in cable tv reruns. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I want to be Julia Sugarbaker when I grow up. I'm not there yet, it's a process.
