We Declare: TV's Sassiest Southern Belles (SLIDESHOW)

The Civil War may be history, but there are more than a few southern belles around to remind us the South is alive and well on television today, particularly one Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson.
Before TNT’s most charming detective bids her final “Thank You; Thank You So Much,” in the final season of The Closer — which premieres Monday, July 9, at 9/8c — we rekindled our love for all the Dixie debutantes of the small screen, whose hospitality, charms, and smart-mouthed sass accented contemporary television in more ways than one.
Feel free to share with us the southern belles you’re most sweet on in the comments section, and be sure to vote for your favorites in our slideshow below.

Bill Compton: "Sookie, don't ever sneak up on a vampire. What are you doing here?"

Sookie Stackhouse: "All right, here's the deal. And this is a little embarrassin'. I've never been with a man intimately, for all the reasons I told you about. But, I feel things when I'm with you that make me think and I know this could be a huge mistake, one I will regret forever, but it feels like you're the one that I'm supposed to, you know, do it with. And I'm really nervous about that. And frankly I'm scared to death of you. So can we just get it out of the way already so I can relax and get a good night's sleep? [he draws close to kiss her] J-just don't bite me, Okay?"
