Names (1992)

Dixie played legendary actress and teacher Stella Adler in this story of The Group Theatre's principal players and their horrific brush with McCarthy's anti-communist witchhunts of the 1950s.

Dixie Carter, stunning and smashing as nonpareil ex-actress Stella Adler putting a glamorous face on a plight she sums up for her husband, the (rather hen-pecked) Clurman: "[Now] I'm a teacher, and you're a critic. What a terrible turn of events!" A diva forever, her every entrance -- and exit -- is an occasion. ~Polly Warfield, Drama-Logue
