Gone but not forgotten: Dixie Carter.
I think I've said it before, but one of the unexpected signs of aging is when you recognize all of the celebrities as they pass. Even though I had seen her as an older woman when she guested on DH, I still let out a gasp when I saw the headline on the internet portal (which is, of course, the new way to get breaking news delivered) about Ms. Carter's passing.
I can't remember her on Diff'rent Strokes, but I can't forget her monologues from Designing Women. Could there be another actress better suited for a role like Julia Sugarbaker? Could there be another performer that could deliver one of those put-you-in-your-place, stand-up-for-something, end-of-my-patience, sit-down-and-be-silenced, crawl-back-into-your-mother's-womb kind of speech delivered with a pointing finger, a withering glare and a staccato voice?
As a matter of fact, once the proper mourning period has passed, can someone please make an app for our smart phones that allows us to plug in a few details and then hit play to deliver a Dixie Carter/Julia Sugarbaker speech to our nemeses on demand?
Hal Holbrook's partner for the last quarter century, you will be missed.
