DELTA DISHES

Everyone’s favourite Designing Woman, Delta Burke, talks to Entertainment Tonight, in her first interview since entering a psychiatric hospital in January, about why she sought treatment for depression that first cropped up when she was age 13.

Delta on rehab: “I was on five different kinds of medication. After a couple of years the meds stopped working. I needed an adjustment under a physician’s care. I was being proactive. Now I’m on two medications.”

Delta on her diagnosis: “I have what they call ‘double depression,’ like two scoops of ice cream!”

Delta on her reported hoarding habit: “I know it’s a problem. At one time I had 27 storage units. I don’t have a big enough house! My mom had it, it’s my mother’s fault! She saved the diaper I came home from the hospital in!”

    I loved Designing Women!! Suzanne Sugarbaker. I wish she wouldn’t have pulled her face that tight.

    WTF happened to her face? She looks like an Asian woman. That stretching happening over her top lip between those cheek implants looks bizarre.

    She might want to discuss that horrid plastic surgery. Shit, I’d be depressed too if I looked like that.

    She speaks the truth. Back in the mid-90’s she and her mother used to come into the antique store I managed and would buy TONS of stuff — whole bedroom sets — (beds, dressers, bureaus, etc.) at time. Really big spenders. Very classy ladies. They were SUPER nice people, and would walk through and grab anything and everything that caught their eye — antique pillows, linens, etc. Didn’t need to up sell them anything. They would come in on a mission — to buy. Sorry to hear that it became such a burden for her/them. I wonder if they even used half that stuff, or if it just ended up in the storage locker…

    I love Delta, and she was great on DW.
    I think she is a beautiful woman, and too bad she had that plastic surgery. She doesn’t look like herself now and that’s unfortunate.

    I don’t know why she got the surgery. One of the few benefits of a fat face is that there are less wrinkes.
