Dixie Carter passed away Saturday. She was a wonderful actress, best known for her role as Julia Sugarbaker on Designing Women. I loved Dixie and Julia. Both were strong, intelligent, outspoken southern women. Julia was never afraid to speak her mind and was a role model of mine in my adolescence. Dixie was a Republican playing a Democrat, so that shows you how talented of an actress she really was.
I've found a few favorite Julia moments for you.
This is a speech I should memorize — it would come in handy, although I'm a moderate:
Julia on crazy people:
Julia gets mad (not unlike when I get mad):
Also, once someone has seen me angry they usually say "I didn't know Kerry had that in her," as Charlene did.
Speaking of angry, here's a clip from when Bernice (the crazy person talked about from the Crazy People in the South Clip) had a talk show and Julia tried to straighten poor Bernice out. Hilarious.
Thanks for the memories, Dixie.
