DESIGNING WOMEN S1

Details

• Release Year: 1986
• Genre: Comedy
• Plot: When four strong, sassy and sexy Southern women running a fledgling interior decorating firm hit the television airwaves as 'Designing Women' in 1986, they brought a new kind of Southern spirit to American television. Smart, ambitious and outspoken, they embodied the 'new' Southern woman. ; ; The much-married, alimony-rich beauty queen Suzanne Sugarbaker (Delta Burke) uses her feminine wiles to attract business for the firm, and future ex-husbands for herself. Her sophisticated sister, Julia (Dixie Carter), is nobody's fool and runs the operation and her own life with a guarded graciousness. Mary Jo Shively (Annie Potts) is the sweet-natured, recently divorced mother trying to make her own way in the world as a decorator for the first time. Small-town gal Charlene Frazier (Jean Smart) is the naive, overly trusting bad-guy magnet who runs the office. They are all devoted to the other.
