This Star Is Now Living Privately with Famous Spouse – He Proposed on 2nd Date & Still Loves Her at Any Weight

Delta Burke had once been in the center of the spotlight with project after project lining up for her, but after leaving “Designing Women,” her fame and work also started to fizzle out.

After having almost not-so-successful projects, the actress decided to stay out of the spotlight and live life like a regular citizen.

Despite her many changes, her husband of more than three decades declared he would still love her no matter what. Here’s a look into Delta Burke’s life.

Delta Burke came into the limelight when she won the Miss Florida title in 1974. She went on to the Miss America Pageant, won a talent scholarship, and studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts.

Burke got into film in 1979 when she starred in “The Seekers” and “The Chisholms.” However, she is best known as Suzanne Sugarbaker in the 1986 series “Designing Women.”

She started a production company that produced “Delta” and “Women of the House,” and Burke starred in both projects. Later, she started her clothing design company called Delta Burke Design.

Burke took the role of Suzanne Sugarbaker in “Designing Women” for five out of the seven seasons the show ran for because the show’s producers fired her.

After firing her, she said the executive producers, Linda Bloodworth-Thomason and Harry Thomason, psychologically abused her.

However, the executive producers and the show’s stars said Burke made things difficult for everybody, so they fired her. Burke said,

“Basically, it became unbearable into the second season for me. By the end of the fourth season, I just couldn’t live like that anymore.”
