Delta Burke

shaggygirl — Sat, 05 Aug 2017 22:44:39 GMT

Was just perusing a yahoo celebrity page and saw an article about her which suddenly reminded me that she's yet another celebrity who many years ago had a clothing line on QVC. Geez, that was ages ago and I don't think it lasted for very long.

I think it lasted about a month and half...lol I seem to remember that she also had a line of bathing suits, I think the Lane Bryant or Roaman's catalogs carried them.

She actually ran off set when selling. I think it was Mary Beth who had to cover for her and make some excuse. Oh the good ole days.

Her clothes were also in the big stores at the mall.

She seems to have faded into oblivion; you never see or hear a thing about her anymore. She was pretty much a basket case at QVC, as I recall. During one presentation she burst into tears and went running off the set. Did not return.

Wonder if she's still married to Gerald McRamey?

Actually now I feel bad. I just watched the segment on YouTube. She was crying over hurtful emails. Jill Bauer was the host and handled it beautifully. She asked her if she wanted to take a break or keep going. Delta said keep going but then they did go to break anyway. Pam looks the same . Jill looks adorable and her voice sounds very young.

@Kachina624- I just googled her. Yes, they're still married.

Yes, I did as well...never saw that before...I agree Jill handled it very well...delta was very beautiful back in the day..I was always envious of women with jet black hair and blue eyes...such a pretty combination.....

I loved her character on Designing Women ( dating myself totally). I recall after the show she did experience some kind of instability.... Wish her only the best❣️

Watching Jill in that clip reminds me of why she's always been my favorite host.

Yes, I enjoyed her in several parts she played over the years she was on TV. She was lovely and very talented....what happened to her is mysterious. Perhaps she just wanted out the the Hollywood trap.

Here is a pretty current picture of her and her husband. She is 60 years old today.

She was here for a year or two, as I recall. I was able to get tickets at the Q for one of her shows hosted by Kathy Levine. It was soooo much fun. Delta was adorable. Much tinier and slimmer in person. Definitely not big enough to wear her own line without nips and tucks in them. She kept leaving the stage and running out in the audience to let us see and feel the clothes up close and was so sweet. I loved Designing Women too. She an Kathy were a hoot together. A fond memory for me.

Just watched that clip on U-tube. That was sad. Poor Delta. Must say though that Jill looked so adorable and handled that beautifully, and that clip with Susan Graver....how different she looked and yet in some ways hasn't changed. Also noticed one of the models, with longish blonde hair looks very very much like one of the girls, should say women I suppose, who models these days, wonder if it's her, can't recall her first name. Wow, that was 17 years ago.

I have been a QVC customer for many years but I do not remember this. I watched the YouTube video and two things come to mind. Jill did a fabulous job with a sensitive situation and Pam the model, looks exactly the same now as she did then !

I had to do a double take with that picture. That's all I'm gonna say.

I also love that combination-- very striking. There was a beautiful actress who was popular in the eighties, Connie Sellecca, who also had that combo. More women with blue eyes should DARKEN their hair rather than lighten it, IMO. The dark hair really makes blue eyes "pop."
