Like any good Southern girl, I loved Designing Women, and I especially loved Dixie Carter as Julia Sugarbaker. Carter recently wrapped up a six-episode stint on Desperate Housewives. Turns out she has an unusual connection to the show- its creator, Marc Cherry, was once her assistant. In this week’s OK! magazine, Carter has this to say about her former employee:
This young kid who wanted to get into writing had come to town back in 1989 and worked for me. All of a sudden, he had this writing job on Golden Girls. He’s so talented.
Looks like Dixie has the right idea: be kind to your assistant, and someday your assistant will be kind to you. Call it the Law of Assistant Karma. Whatever it is, we hope more celebrities follow her example.
