Designing Women is one of those shows that has made history Dixie Carter like the remaining cast members were wonderful. Linda Bloodsworth Thompson is one hell of a writer and I applaud her for being such a pioneer in the 1980's. I think of how far we have come since the original airing of this show and where we are today people like Linda and this cast played a huge role in the way things are today. They brought these powerful messages into the homes of people who may have had a different point of view after seeing the show. I did not know that Dixie had passed until today a weird feeling has come over me as if I have lost a family member. I had said before that the character Julia was my real life mama because that character was my mama through and through the way she spoke and carried herself. I hope that they have met in heaven I am certain they are have a wonderful time together. Rest In Peace sweet mama and Rest In Peace sweet Dixie. You both made a difference in the lives of other's you came into contact down here.

I can only Imagine the speech Julia would have given to Trump becoming our President!
@ericandy887 жыл бұрын
That would have been interesting, considering Dixie was, in real life, a registered Republican & not crazy about some of the speeches she was given as Julia. Of course, we know now that Dixie eventually agreed to do those speeches in exchange for being allowed to sing in a future episode. However, something tells me Dixie would have despised Trump as president, even though he was referred to in the famous "magazine shoot" episode by Julia as one of the people the photographer should take pictures of in revealing poses before coming to them again. Then again, it was the '80s & Trump was still primarily a businessman. I am sure any show that made jokes about him or even had him on their show are now regretting they ever did so.

@ericandy887 жыл бұрын
I doubt she was against that speech (especially as the show was one of the first to even address the disease, let alone treat it with dignity) & given the kind of pride she shows in how the show is an inspiration to the gay community in this clip, I am sure that never changed. I just remember reading that some of the speeches in the show that were more the product of Linda Bloodworth-Thomason's own views (remember, she & her husband were/are good friends of the Clintons) Dixie herself did not align with personally & those were just great acting. In exchange for them, the moments where Julia sang a song in a later episode (perhaps even the famous "How Great Thou Art" performance) were a part of the compromise Dixie struck with them.

Reference to: "Dixie has Powerful Control of words..." (She ARTICULATES well) It is a speech reference indicating and requiring that the ENTIRE WORD be Pronounced - Lazy mouths - do not articulate well - requires conscious thought to develop the habit, normally, and the listener clearly is conscious that the speaker has class and a respect for language. Great stage actress - excellent Voice and Diction skills.

That is not what she meant at all. If you listened to the follow up comment, she was discussing how Julia was able to confront people and that she, the interviewer, didn't have that ability or power to stand up to people. She wasn't discussing the logistics of how she spoke, but more about what she was able to convey with power and conviction.

I believe Dixie moved to New York in her early 20s and living in New York probably neutralized her Tennessee accent. Her first big role was a non-southern character, Assistant DA Brandy Henderson on "The Edge of Night", so she can probably turn the accent on and off as she needs to.

Sometimes I'm laughing AND crying at the same time. They're still on every weekday on the TV Guide Network, and may they never go away!

Fallible men wrote the bible in accordance to the laws and mores of the day and directives of those in power. It has been translated over 600 times so exactly how can you be sure it's accurate? You can't. Not that it matters because it's a bunch of manure. Per the bible, god had all kinds of people killed. A merciful god? He needed to be cruel and kill his son so people could live forever?

I know Dixie Carter was conservative (at least what a conservative was at that time), but I find Julia Sugarbaker sexy because I have known too many women who don't speak up regarding their private convictions, but with Julia, she doesn't suffer fools, and I admire that.

@ericandy887 жыл бұрын
If I remember right, Bea had announced that season 7 would be her last & the writers/producers had planned to wrap the show up with that in mind. Kind of a "if one person leaves, we all do" thing. Of course, they tried to make a go of it with the remaining 3, but they saw how wrong they were. 7 seasons seem to be a magic number for shows as many great ones ended there (DW included), while others would appear to have peaked around then & the quality starts to slowly drop off. It is often nice to wonder what might have happened had the show kept going, but sometimes it is best that it ended when it did.

A TRUE testament to Dixie Carter’s acting skills.. Dixie was an old school conservative in real life however Julia Sugarbaker was very liberal. When Dixie would give one of Julia’s fiery, liberal speeches it seemed SO real & SO genuine because she spoke with such passion. Fun Fact: Since Dixie didn’t personally agree with her characters views (all the time) she had a deal with Linda Bloodworth Thompson. For every fiery, democratic speech Dixie gave as Julia, writers would work a singing performance into a future episode because Ms. Carter loved to sing. Who can forget her performance on the show of “How Great Thou Art”? Chills!
