Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the actresses on the show, prior to 2002, has won two Emmy Awards for acting?

Answer: Jean Smart

The only one to win even one Emmy (and she got two) is Jean Smart for guest shots on 'Frasier'. And the only one out of the cast to ever be nominated for 'Designing Women' was Delta Burke, as for the women that is. Meshach Taylor was nominated playing Anthony but never won.

2. What did young Randa and Julia fight over when they were having dinner?

Answer: Eating a hamburger

Randa asked for a burger and Julia made one for her. A battle ensued. Randa wouldn't eat it---it was reminiscent of something out of 'The Miracle Worker'!

3. Linda Bloodworth Thomason got involved in a new TV series in the 2000-2001 season. She created 'Designing Women'. Which show in that most recent season was she a participant of?

Answer: 'Emeril'

'Emeril' has been shelved for now. It'll be back and hopefully better, they say.

4. Charlene, somewhere between Poplar Bluff and Atlanta, worked in what major Southern City?

Answer: Little Rock

She worked at the state house in Little Rock for then Governor Bill Clinton's administration. She made a lot of influential friends, but never talked about it much.

5. How did Bernice get to know the Sugarbaker women?

Answer: through Julia's mother

She was a friend of the mom of Julia and Suzanne. While Bernice was around for the entire run of the show, Julia's mother's character moved to Japan very early on after only appearing on episode 1.

6. Julia and Suzanne went on a disastrous trip to Japan to pick up a car. Everything went wrong. But a kind gentleman helped them out. He was an unemployed salesman. What did he hope to sell?

Answer: slacks

He was flying there in hopes of getting a job. He looked Japanese but was actually, in his words, a 'bubba'. Born in the Southern US.

7. Was Carlene at the big event when Charlene thought she was getting her big break as a country singer and invited her family to come watch?

Answer: No

Carlene was not in the pack and nor was she ever mentioned until they introduced her character as Charlene's sister when Jean Smart decided to leave the show.

8. What was the name of Suzanne's ex-husband that was a writer?

Answer: Dash Goff

Delta Burke (Suzanne) and Gerald McRaney (Dash) eventually married in real life.

Answer: Pharmacy owner

The cat had to pick who he liked the most so as to finalize the will of the deceased woman. He picked the pharmacy owner who had taken a like to the passed lady and her cat.

10. Julia inadvertently selling her purse at the museum happened in the same episode as which of these events?

Answer: Mary Jo paying for car repairs to Charlene's car.

In that same episode Julia's 'motel motif' art was unveiled, Suzanne was mistaken for a mime after gluing her lips together---a busy episode all pulled together by the fact that MJ had cracked up Charlene's bumper and needed cash to replace it. The show had great writing!
