Designing Women, in which she played Karen, a snide representative of the historical society, who not only aggravated Dixie's character,
Julia Sugarbaker, but also threw a veiled insult to Julia's friend,
Anthony Bouvier (
Meshach Taylor) about his contribution to the tour. When he discovered that it was exactly as he feared it would be (him dressing as a slave a la
Roots) he politely declined it saying that he'd do something like that
"after we all go ice skating in hell!!"
Mobley was an occasional panelist on
Match Game in the 1970s and appeared on
Super Password with Collins during the 1980s.

Miss America in
