DELTA BURKE

Delta Burke made a name for herself as Suzanne Sugarbaker in the television series Designing Women. In the show, fans could see a beautiful and energetic woman. Other projects she has worked on through the years include Filthy Rich, Delta, Women of the House, and Boston Legal. Despite the bright and radiant persona she presented on-screen and on stage, things were very different for Delta in real life.

The 63-year-old star once suffered from depression and weight gain. To make matters more troubling, she was even diagnosed with diabetes. Although things seemed to be going for the worst for her, things started becoming more optimistic for Delta when she moved to Los Angeles with her husband, Gerald McRaney, and mom, Jean Burke. The degree of love Gerald gave to Delta helped her to heal. She also began taking Byetta to suppress her appetite and monitor the diet that successfully helped her lose weight.
