So sad.

Designing Women star Dixie Carter passed away on Saturday morning at the age of 70.

The cause of Dixie's death has yet to be revealed, but Carter's husband, actor Hal Holbrook has asked for the public to respect the family's privacy during this difficult time.

"This has been a terrible blow to our family," said Holbrook in a statement. "We would appreciate everyone understanding that this is a private family tragedy."

Truly devastating.

She will be missed!
