3. Aw, may she rest in peace

I loved her strong character in Designing Women. She embodied the strong Southern lady for me. I think a lot of women took something from her confidence and strength and sassiness - you could be assertive and sexy and classy. She'll be missed.

I hope Mr. Holbrook has good friends and family to help him through this sad time.

6. Only 70. What a shame.

Julia Sugarbaker is one of my all-time favorite TV characters. Rest in peace, Sweet Lady. :cry:

7. Although she was quite the opposite of Julia Sugarbaker,

no one could have played that character like she did. I loved her. RIP Dixie. I didn't know she was even sick. Not sure how she died, but I am saddened by this.

...a Julia Sugarbaker crush. Elegant heat is an attractive
combination.
