Facts
- Just wrapped production of the Hallmark Channel original movie Bridal Fever (2008) as “Dahlia”, a romance novelist, which will air next year. [November 2007]
- Starring on Broadway in “Steel Magnolias” (Truvy – the Dolly Parton role in the movie). [March 2005]
- In 1981, Delta Burke won the role of Katherine Wentworth on Dallas (1978) and was offered a recurring part on Private Benjamin (1981), but she had a holding option on her contract for the yet-to-be-picked-up series Filthy Rich (1982) and was forced to turn both parts down. The role of Katherine Wentworth ultimately went to Morgan Brittany.
- Checked herself into rehab to modify her medications for her depression and diabetes [February 12, 2008].
- Graduate of Colonial High School in Orlando, Florida.
- April 2003 – While on the set of a new tv pilot, “Sweet Potato Queens”, that was not picked up any network for the Fall 2003 season, some of her jewelry including her wedding and engagemant rings were stolen. The stolen jewelry was valued at approximately $74,000. The rings were inscribed with the word “always” and the date of her wedding. No clue to the thief and the LAPD told her that the common thing is to steal the diamonds and throw away the bands, so little hope of recovery was offered.
- Following her firing from Designing Women (1986), she was parodied in a short-lived Fox comedy show, The Edge (1992), in one skit where she was portrayed as a giant who was getting revenge on her former castmates by ripping the roof off the house, pulling them out, and biting their heads off like chickens. Despite the unflattering nature of the skit, Ms. Burke was reportedly very amused by it.
- Is diabetic
- Has suffered from chronic depression since her teens
- Miss Florida 1974
