Dixie Carter Dead Designing Women With the news overnight of the death of actress Dixie Carter, online videos are offering a look back at some of the most memorable moments in her best known role -- Julia Sugarbaker in TV's "Designing Women."
Carter's husband confirmed the news of her death to "Entertainment Tonight" on Saturday night. Carter was 70 years old.
"Designing Women," which aired in the late 80s and early 90s, was known for tackling controversial issues at the time including race, homosexuality and AIDS.
Carter's portrayal of Sugarbaker was perhaps best known for her heightened, indignant monologues offered at the expense of the other characters.
Here's a look at some of the online clips getting increased views this morning:
Dixie Virginia Carter (May 25, 1939 April 10, 2010)[1] was an American actress, having appeared in films, television and on stage. She was best-known for her long-running role in the sitcom Designing Women (1986-1993). She was nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for Desperate Housewives in 2007.
Carter died on April 11, 2010.[8] No cause was immediately disclosed. Carter, who was 70, is survived by her husband, Hal Holbrook, and her daughters Mary Dixie and Ginna, by her first marriage to businessman Arthur Carter. The Dixie Carter Performing Arts and Academic Enrichment Center (informally called "The Dixie") in Huntingdon, Tennessee is named in honor of Carter.
