- Was valedictorian of her high school class.
- The Dixie Carter Performing Arts and Academic Enrichment Center, also known as "The Dixie", was named in honor of Carroll County's most famous resident. Dixie performed her cabaret show to raise funds for the center, which also features a museum honoring the cultural contributions of both Dixie Carter and her husband, Hal Holbrook. Mr. Holbrook served as a consultant to the architect and gave so much attention to the design and development of the theatre in the Dixie, that the local arts council bestowed the name, "The Hal Holbrook Theatre" on the new venue in honor of his assistance. As a result of the couple's contributions and hard work, residents from the area are being exposed to everything from "The Velveteen Rabbit" to a Samurai style rendition of "Macbeth".
- Carter is her birth name, and her first husband was no relation.
- Attended the University of Tennessee at Knoxville before transferring to Rhodes College in Memphis TN.
- Certainly if we hope to enhance and extend whatever natural assets we were given, we must expect to make an effort, if not actually great labor.
- It takes a mighty good man to be better than no man at all.
- What a great relief not to try so hard to be pleasing in one's life. At one time it used to matter to me if I were attractive to people. I tried to be pretty and tried all those products on the commercials, and all the magazine beauty hints.
- Designing Women had seven years and that's history -- I call that history, and I miss my companions on that show all the time. I don't watch the reruns because it makes me sad.
- Before Designing Women: I was doing my cabaret act and I remember one day getting a call from Linda, asking me if she could use my name in a show. The next day she called back saying the show would go ahead.
