Actress Jean Smart and her actor husband Richard Gilliland are reacting to the death of their "Designing Women" co-star Dixie Carter over the weekend, telling ET, "Dixie was such an amazing person."

"She was gorgeous, hilarious, incredibly talented and so devoted to her family," continues Jean. "There was no one else like her and I was completely crazy about her. She exuded joy. Richard and I will really miss her and our hearts go out to her beautiful family."

Dixie died on Saturday of complications arising from endometrial cancer. She was 70 years old.
