Dixie Carter, Rest in peace

12 04 2010

I know, Dixie Carter played Julia Sugarbaker, she wasn’t actually Julia Sugarbaker, but she did such fine damned job of it, the real difficulty is in finding which clip to play.

So I’ll offer a couple.

Crazy southerners:

Involuntary sequestration:

And sorry for the crappy quality, but this bit (near end of vid) of testifyin’—from 1987—is worth it:

Much better than another ‘No comment’.

I’m starting to get used to one celebrity death after another. I guess they’re aging out or something?

That last one is something else. I wrote a little bit about AIDS in the 80s, and oh my God, that was not a proud time for humanity. God bless the folks behind a teevee show who decided it was time to school fools.

And God rest Dixie Carter — she, too, was Something Else.

@ Christine I think it might say something about our age, too….
