NECROLOGY: Were there a dictionary page combining the alliterative "sassy, strong-willed and Southern," no doubt Dixie Carter's picture would appear there, so it is with much fondness and sadness that we note her passing yesterday morning at the age of 70. I will remember her mostly for two roles -- as the strong feminist center of Designing Women (and I swear I came up with the s-s-s before seeing theirs) of course, but also as the only woman to sweep Philip Drummond off his feet.
In other passings, Meinhardt Raabe, 94, who played the Munchkin Coroner in The Wizard of Oz, is most sincerely dead.
