Julia Sugarbaker McIlroy is a fictional character in the long-running television series Designing Women. She was played for the show's entire run by actress and singer Dixie Carter. Julia is the daughter of Derek and Perky Sugarbaker. She is the sister of Clayton (her half-brother, who has two daughters, Camille and Jennifer) and former beauty queen, Suzanne Sugarbaker. Decidedly more artistic and prone to speak her mind than her vain sister, she supposes herself to be more well-read and more knowledgable. Julia lived in many places, including New York and in Paris, where, it was said, that she studied. While Suzanne has been married three times in her life, Julia was married only once. Julia's husband, Hayden McIlroy, had died, prior to the start of the show, and she decided to open a designing business. She had hired a top-notch decorator, Mary Jo Shively, a divorced mother of two; she also asked Suzanne to join in the business; then hired her husband's former secretary, Charlene Frazier Stillfield to be their office manager. Later on, she hired deliveryman Anthony Bouvier, whom was later made a partner. Another person close to Julia, although definitely not related to her, is her mother's best friend, Bernice Clifton. Bernice has what is called "An arterial flow problem above the neck" as her mother called it. This gets her into the most outlandish situations, but yet, she considers Julia and her friends, part of her family. Julia's pride and joy is her son, Payne, named after her paternal great grandfather. He gives her fits on occasion, but she dearly loves him, seeing her husband in him. Payne is married to Sylvie, a girl he met while in College, and had gotten pregnant, or so he thought. The marriage was almost strained, but Julia, gently, talked her son into going back to New York, where they lived, to work things out. She was also involved with attorney Reese Watson (played by Dixie Carter's real-life husband, Hal Holbrook) until he died in the show's fifth season. At about the same time of his death, Julia helped take care of a client's unruly daughter, Randa Oliver. After sufficient time when she had mourned Reese, she then went out with a doctor who was taking care of her for a hysterectomy, but that too failed. She was very cool, and often not too fond of her cousin, Allison Sugarbaker, who had taken over Suzanne's share of the business, and also, to Anthony's consternation, Suzanne's house. She got along a little better with Allison's replacement, Bonnie Jean "B.J." Poteet. Julia has a tendency to speak her mind, and at times it can be very forceful. This tendency of giving off rapid fire and well-worded spiels, of which her targets have no defense against, gave her the apt nickname "the Terminator". The targets of these very verbose arguments have included, among others, politicians, newspaper reporters and other bigots whose beliefs Julia finds disagreeable. Her most venomous tirade was toward a doctor who had a tendency to be rather arrogant and not very wise in the ways of medicine. She informed him that she was filing charges against him. The reason being that he had the nerve to tell Charlene to not worry about a lump in her breast. Which went against everything Julia had ever learned (she was brought up in a medical family). It turned out that Julia and Suzanne had a friend who was treated by that same doctor, with fatal results. Another well remembered tirade was against a so-called "old friend" of Julia's who had discovered that she and her co-workers were designing a funeral for Kendall Dobbs a design colleague who was gay and dying of AIDS. Julia lost her as a customer, but felt better at having told off her intolerant ex-friend. In this, she gained an unexpected ally in Suzanne, who is not known to be sympathetic towards gay people, but in this case, made an exception and also echoed her sister's indignity towards the homophobic comments. Despite her tendency to go off on one of her rants; and to not see both sides of an issue, Julia is a warm person and a good friend. - wikipedia.com
