DIXIE CARTER
The passing of Dixie Carter "has been a terrible blow to our family," her husband, actor Hal Holbrook, said following the death of the Emmy-nominated actress on April 10. Best known for her role as sassy Julia Sugarbaker on the hit CBS sitcom Designing Women, Carter's death at 70 (from complications arising from endometrial cancer) was a blow deeply felt by fans and colleagues. "There was no one else like her," costar Jean Smart said. She was, added Annie Potts, "the kind of wife and mother that every mother hopes their daughters will become."
