Delta was a siren back in 1986- a mesh between Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh, and Jane Russell. A kind of nostalgic beauty.

“ Baby, you don’t have to tell her”. Lmao. Annie meant it ! She was looking out for Delta ❤️

Well I wouldn't go that far but yes, she was a truly stunning beauty. Not to mention intelligent, but let us not forget the was a woman whom actually earned the title "the most beautiful woman in the world". A title she held btw from 1930 until her death in 2000. All after her relevance as a movie star. Nothing which can be said of these other women. As soon a glitter fades so to their relevance. Ms. Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler aka Hedy Lamarr. Not only was she a truly exquisite beauty, but she was brilliant. We wouldn't have radar or internet or cell phones without her. Hedy Lamarr was truly the most beautiful woman.

I always loved Dixie Carter she was so classy and elegant.

If you can find it on Ebay, or Amazon for a good decent price, get her audiobook for her memoir, 'Trying to Get to Heaven: Opinions of a Tennessee Talker'.- Hearing her in her own voice talking about her life and telling stories is fabulous.

Gosh I wish they had a show similar to "Designing Women" on television today!!!

My roommate and I are constantly talking about this. I believe the 1980s to the very early 90s were the last of REAL TALENT. We watch a lot of TMC, and no body can touch the Golden Age. Back then actors/actresses could truly act, sing and 🕺 💃!!!

RIP Dixie and RIP Joan Rivers..

One of the best sitcoms from the 80s!!.Rip.Dixie Carter..

my favorite is delta she's gorgeous..and she's funny..

We need some Julia Sugarbaker today!

My girls, I still watch them on Hulu almost every day....I love me some Suzanne, Anthony and Noel!! I loved it when shows simply gave us good entertainment with no POLITICS, they just made us smile. They brought up issues like breast cancer, racism, and even weight gain...but they did it in such a graceful way. I love all of them. As a woman who has lived through cancer and lives with auto immune diseases and has gained weight through treatment, I understand what Delta went through. It is simply devastating to watch your body go through that and then have people wonder "what happened". It is cruel.

They touched on politics on feminism but it was subtle and in good taste for the most part. Julia made it known that she was a democrat but she was the kind that loved this country..!!

Uhhh, DW threw some liberal politics into the show from time to time. Dixie reportedly didn't care for it.

They was phenomenal together. Baby, you don't have to tell her. LOL. I thought she probably really won pageants before. I didn't think it was just something that was created for the show. 💜💜💜💜

Delta Burke was beautiful and hilarious. She was robbed of the Emmy twice for Designing Women.

Wish there was more. I loved it when Joan was made permanent guest host of The Tonight Show. When she guest hosted on Fridays.

You can tell that Dixie was a lot like Julia in real life.

They all kinda mirror their characters it seems like actually. The plumbing problem was something Charlene would have. Delta doing the beauty walk is very Suzanne and Annie being positioned as the mouthpiece is very Mary Jo.

Designing Women was a great show. The four were wonderful comedic and dramatic actresses, and their show got me through many a downtime in my life. My two favorites were a tossup between Delta Burke and Jean Smart - and of course let’s not forget MeschachTaylor, aka Anthony).

Like I said, Rivers was right! Feuds did destroy them!

I love that Delta's nickname was baby.

Great find!Funny they're even dressed the way their characters dress on the show.

Right that is one of my favorite styles and it sure does show her off nicely. :-)

I LOVE THAT THIS CAST HAD THIS ENTERVIEW THEY LOOKED GREAT AND DELTA WAS MY GIRL!!! IT'S KINDA HARD TO TELL BUT I THINK HER BLAZER I THINK IT IS, IS BLUE I LOVE BLUR FOR HER SHE LIKES IT TO HER BEST COLOR!!! THE SKIRT SUIT WAS GORGOUS BUT SO WAS SHE!!! I COPIED HER WALK ON PAPER IT'S ON MY WALL WITH HER OTHER PICTURES I HAVE!!!

But.......Rivers wasn't too off........that IS what happened.....

It seems like ancient history- Joan Rivers- five faces ago.

I wish we could get the full interview! A minute and a half is a tease, what is even the point?

B4 they all pretty much turned on Delta, the original intent was to have Suzanne character marry the Anthony character near end of series.

Actually the only people Delta ever had friction with was the creator Linda Blood-worth and her husband and Dixie Carter(RIP). Annie Potts, Jean Smart and Meschach Taylor(RIP) remained neutral and very supportive of Delta when things got bad on the set. The last part is definitely true, which would've made for one hilarious season had things been different.

Hmm shut down just when she was gonna name names
