Actress Annie Potts refers to her “Designing Women” costar Dixie Carter as “a goddess,” calling her death a “loss beyond measure.” Potts tells “The Insider” of her costar, “Dixie Carter was a goddess. Beautiful and brainy, smart and funny, prim and sexy, wickedly talented and divinely sweet. The kind of wife and mother that every mother hopes their daughter will become, and the kind of friend that is absolutely irreplaceable. She loved fiercely and was adored in return. To have known her a little was a delight to all. To have known her well, a treasure beyond reckoning. And now, a loss beyond measure.” Carter, best known for her role as Julia Sugarbaker on the hit sitcom “Designing Women,” passed way on Saturday, April 10. She was 70.
