Platform beds are easily defined. They are beds that use a built in foundation that consists most usually of either a slat system or paneling system that supports a mattress only. no box springs or other foundations are used as the bed itself has its own foundation built into it.

Q&A with Rheta Grimsley Johnson: 'Enchanted Evening Barbie' author

June 25th, 2010

By Gina Webb

A few weeks before Christmas 1964, “good little Baptist” Rheta Grimsley Johnson prayed to God: “I look forward to the return of your Only Son Jesus. But could you please wait until after Christmas because I really, really, really want an Enchanted Evening Barbie dress for my Barbie doll…Thank you and good night. Amen.”

Barbie, Christmas and growing up Southern Baptist are just a few of the highlights in Johnson’s new memoir, “Enchanted Evening Barbie and the Second Coming,” a funny, openhearted, honest look back at her life and career as an award-winning reporter and columnist.

But this is no Barbie’s Dream House. Johnson’s story includes divorce, suicide and the loss of her beloved second husband in 2009. She offers a candid, if sometimes painful, glimpse of the time she spent at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, where she replaced the late Lewis Grizzard and won a new generation of fans by capturing the extraordinary in the lives of ordinary people.

Johnson now makes her home in Iuka, Miss., and recently took time out from writing a column to talk about Atlanta, her years at the AJC—and the elusive Enchanted Evening.

Q: What did “Enchanted Evening” look like?

A: It had the little abbreviated mink stole, and to me it was the most drop-dead gorgeous of them all—though I also liked “Solo in the Spotlight” a lot, the one that looked like a torch singer—the sexy black strapless dress, with the microphone. It would have been my second choice. But I got neither one. What I got was the organdy and polished cotton dresses that my grandmother made.

Q: Where could Barbie have gone in the dresses your grandma made for her?

A: Well, she could have gone to church, of course! I just wanted something ready-made, because they had that slutty quality that the homemade ones lacked—I didn’t want her to have clothes like mine, for God’s sake.

Q: The same grandmother read Celestine Sibley’s columns to you from the AJC?

A: Celestine Sibley may be one reason I wanted to be a reporter. The Montgomery suburbs is where I grew up, but every summer I would spend a large share of my time with my grandparents in south Georgia, and that’s where I read the Constitution. My grandfather would go to town and get it just about every day. And always on Sundays. So my grandmother would cut out Celestine Sibley’s columns and tuck them in her Bible and read parts of them to us.

Q: When you worked for the AJC, did you and Celestine become friends?

A: She came to my desk the very first day I was in the newsroom and said hello and invited me for lunch. She was one of the nicest people to me of anybody on the whole staff.

Q: Was there a difference between Celestine Sibley’s South and Lewis Grizzard’s South?

A: Celestine, contrary to conventional wisdom, didn’t always write about seed catalogs and that kind of thing. She could be tough. The difference was she never picked easy targets. Her South tended to be a more tolerant place.

She was the quintessential columnist for readers. Celestine, to her last column, was crafting every sentence beautifully. She had a lot of original thoughts, and if she made a funny remark, you hadn’t heard it on “The Tonight Show” three nights earlier. She’d been so long at it, yet never seemed to get burned out or jaded.

I think Grizzard appealed more to non-readers. The only thing a lot of his fans read was his columns. He probably sold more newspapers than any columnist since Ernie Pyle. But I think Celestine’s column, on the other hand, was read by people who loved words.

Q: You capture the flavor of the South in everything you write. Is Atlanta still a Southern place?

A: I think it is a Southern place and always will be at its core. Most everybody you meet in Atlanta is not from Atlanta—you know, they’ve moved over from Mississippi or Alabama, or they’re from rural Georgia—and they like to think that you aren’t really in the deep South if you live in Atlanta. So yes… it’s Southern, but I think it likes to put on airs and forget how Southern it is.

Q: It’s a Southern Barbie.

A: Right—all that glitz!
