Since the demise of Designing Women, actress Dixie Carter has taken to the stage, in such productions as Master Class and A Streetcar Named Desire.
While the work is fulfilling, it isn't as lucrative as when she played sassy Julia Sugarbaker on the CBS sitcom. "You have to take a huge loss financially to do a play," Carter said in Sunday's Washington Post. "You have to put aside the commercials and the speeches and the other things that put money on the table and really save up to do it. And that's what I've done here. But it's worth it to me to be in a really good play."
Carter stars in the Washington production of Oscar Wilde's A Woman of No Importance. Fans won't see her doing a television show anytime soon.
"Dozens have been put in front of me since [Designing Women] and I just couldn't enter them with a full heart. Even for the money," she said. "And heaven knows I do love money."
