WORLD AIDS DAY: 'DESIGNING WOMEN'




October 5, 1987 - 'Designing Women' tackles the topic of AIDS when a young designer and friend of Sugarbakers asks the ladies for a special request. 

Kendall Dobbs (played by Scandal's Tony Goldwyn) has contracted AIDS and is dying. He asks the women to design his funeral with a Dixieland/New Orleans Jazz theme. While they come to terms with the news, Mary Jo finds herself battling parents at a PTA over the distribution of birth control at Claudia's school. At one time opposed to it, Mary Jo realizes that it isn't births that need to be prevented, but rather deaths.
