WGAW will present Designing Women and Evening Shade creator Linda Bloodworth Thomason with its highest honor -- the Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award.

The Writers Guild of America West will present Designing Women and Evening Shade creator Linda Bloodworth Thomason with its highest honor — the Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award for Television Writing Achievement. Filthy Rich would lay the groundwork for the creation of landmark comedy series Designing Women by bringing her together with actresses and collaborators Delta Burke, Dixie Carter, Annie Potts, and Smart. “This award is especially meaningful not only because it comes from the people in our industry who I revere the most – the writers – but also because it was previously given to my three iconic mentors, Norman Lear, Larry Gelbart and James L. Brooks,” said Bloodworth Thomason.
