Dixie Virginia Carter was born May 25, 1939 in McLemoresville, Tennessee. Carter spent many of her early years in Memphis. She attended the University of Memphis and Southwestern at Memphis.
In college, she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority. In 1959, Carter competed in the Miss Tennessee pageant, where she placed first runner-up to Mickie Weyland. Carter won the Miss Volunteer beauty pageant at the University of Tennessee the same year.
In 1960, Carter made her professional stage debut in a Memphis production of Carousel, co-starring George Hearn, whom she would go on to marry 17 years later. She moved to New York City in 1963 and got a part in a production of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale.
In 1967, she began an eight-year hiatus from acting, to focus on raising her two daughters; she returned to acting in 1974, when she filled in for actress Nancy Pinkerton as Dorian Cramer on One Life to Live while Pinkerton was on maternity leave. She subsequently was cast in the role of Assistant D.A. Olivia Brandeis "Brandy" Henderson on the soap opera The Edge of Night from 1974 to 1976. Carter took the role though some advised her that doing a daytime soap might negatively affect her career. However, she was first noticed in this role, and after leaving Edge of Night in 1977, she appeared in several episodes of another soap opera, The Doctors as socialite Linda Elliott. She relocated from New York to Los Angeles and pursued prime-time television roles. In 1976, she won the Theater World Award for Jesse and the Bandit Queen.
She appeared in series such as Out of the Blue (as Aunt Marion), On Our Own (as April Baxter), Diff'rent Strokes (as the first Maggie McKinney Drummond, Phillip Drummond's second wife). Carter's appearance in Filthy Rich paved the way for her most notable role, that of sharp tongued liberal interior decorator Julia Sugarbaker in the 1986-1993 television program Designing Women, set in Atlanta.
Filthy Rich was created by Linda Bloodworth Thomason, who also created Designing Women. (In the beginning, without knowing the content of the show, Bloodworth-Thomason's only idea was to create a show starring Carter and fellow castmates Delta Burke, Annie Potts and Jean Smart. Filthy Rich also featured fellow Designing Women cast member Delta Burke in its cast.) After much persuasion from creators Linda Bloodworth-Thomason and her husband Harry Thomason, Hal Holbrook, Carter's real-life husband, had a recurring role as attorney Reese Watson.
In 1997, went by to the stage. Acting in a play called Master Class.
From 1999 to 2002, she portrayed Randi King on the legal drama Family Law. In 2004, she made a guest appearance on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, playing a defense attorney named Denise Brockmorton. In 2006-2007, Carter found a resurgence of fame with a new generation of fans portraying Gloria Hodge, Bree Van de Kamp's disturbed (and scheming) mother-in-law on Desperate Housewives. Her first and only Emmy Awards nomination was for the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards under the category of Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Gloria Hodge.
Carter died on April 10, 2010, in Houston, Texas. Carter's husband said her death was caused by complications from endometrial cancer, diagnosed earlier in 2010.
In 2012, endometrial cancers newly occurred in 320,000 women and caused 76,000 deaths. This makes it the third most common cause of death in cancers which only affect women, behind ovarian and cervical cancer.

I'm from Atlanta originally, and I dearly loved her character in Designing Women. Miss Dixie was the perfect southern lady. She could tell you off without using any vulgar language 😉, I loved that. Rest in peace Miss Dixie 🙏
Thank you for doing this video on her.
You missed mentioning her appearance on "Diff'rent Stokes," Carter bore a strong facial resemblance to Joan Crawford, RIP
The night the lights went out in Georgia...
I remember her in Designing Women. Thanks for sharing her grave. Safe travels
I loved the episode of Designing Women where she was defending her sister to someone who had made some snarky remark about her sister's pageant history. She was vicious, but she never said an ugly word!
Another great video
I did not know that she passed away. Thanks for doing this video and taking us along. Hope you have a great week ahead and God bless!
Thank you and I'm Glad to see the Channel Growing. 👍👏👏👏. I Remember Designing Women. Her Role as Julia Sugarbaker was refreshing and she was so classy. She played that part, but no suprise she was Very Talented. I spent a lot times just laughing and enjoying that show. No doubt you knew who was the Boss.🙂. I remember she was married to Actor Hal Holbrooke. He was a fine Actor as well. That kind of cancer was hard to detect. I'm told very painful. Sad she had to endure that. You did a very good job. Don't worry about it. Take your time. Glad to see her final Resting place, glad you took us there. I got no notification. Luckily I was on my phone, saw you were live. I just rewatched so I didn't miss a thing. Take care. Love, and Blessing to you and your family. Love,respect and positivity always. Neita,Ace and family. ✌🖖🕯💕🦋🌠🌻🙂👋👣.
She was married to Actor Hal Holbrook who died in 2021

Julia Sugerbaker! I love her in that TV show. I still watch and it still makes me laugh and cry. Rip to a very beautiful lady❤
Another great video she was a great actress Southern Belle
She was a classy lady
Loved her as Julia Sugarbaker. My favorite episode was where she told off a beauty queen who was talking smack about her sister. She let her have it and ended with That is the night the lights went out in Georgia!! Iconic
This one hurt me. I had a major crush on her . I loved Designing Women, she also played as Mr. Drummond’s girlfriend Maggie on Different Strokes.
While growing up and now I'm 47 years old I always looked up to her and loved me some Designing Women. She was a bad a**!
Another great video. Thank you!

Also on that episode was Richard Gilliand who was portraying Mary Jo’s (Annie Potts) boyfriend, but in real life was married to Jean Smart (Charlene).
When she sang How Great Thou Art on designing women
Wonder why Hal Holbrook's name isn't on stone yet? He died and buried next to her on Jan 23, 2021.

I was wondering that myself so I went back and looked and you're right. It's there, just not as deeply cut in as hers is. Thanks for spotting that. 😊😊

Thanks For Sharing 😢💔
Thanks for the video stay safe out there
When you think about "Designing Women," you k think of Dixie Carter. Especially that episode dealing with men versus women. She was also on "Different Strokes"
im watching this April 17th 2023
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video looking forward to seeing more in the future, so Dixie Carter is inside an above ground columbarium or outside cyrupt hopefully your viewers will understand that and the presenter
Hal Holbrooks name is there. You can seen it at 5:53 of the video if you enlarge it. Even then it’s hard to see but you can make it out. Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed Dixie in everything I saw her in
Love the video
I always enjoy your cemetery walk-throughs. I’m always fascinated by the above ground crypts and wonder why people prefer that to regular burials. Another note, I wrote to Dixie Carter, and at the time I was collecting I would have celebrities draw a picture of themselves and sign it. Mrs. Carter obliged as well as sent me a signed photo. Thank you so much for showing us her final resting place.

Her character Julia sugarbaker defined her that character was made for her Dixie rest easy sweet angel we will see you soon in God's golden garden😢😘🌹♥️
Jason you did an A+ narrative on Dixie Carter, I liked her in Designing Women, didn't know she was from the quaint little town of McLemorseville and buried there . ❤ I live fairly close to it. Be careful of Yellow Jackets they bite and sting relentlessly 😢
I find her very curious
From 84-85 she was on Different strokes
I loved her on different strokes when she married Phil dromond and her son moved in with them rest in peace Dixie
Faces of the fraudulent stole your rocking chair video and has uploaded it

My favorite was her telling “the Donald” Trump that “We don’t care!”
I loved her as Orsons mom on Desperate Housewives . She played the duplicitous witch very well... I almost believed thats who she was. Great actress.
It was an A plus video you were very informative.
I never heard she died.. thats sad. I liked Designing Women... Hope we still have Delta Burke Mecasch Taylor and Jean Smart.
