| 1 | Delta wrapped up production of the Hallmark Channel original movie Bridal Fever (2008) as “Dahlia”, a romance novelist, which aired the following year. [November 2007] |
| 2 | She starred on Broadway in “Steel Magnolias” (Truvy – the Dolly Parton role in the movie). [March 2005] |
| 3 | 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.

| 6 | In April 2003, while on the set of a new TV pilot, “Sweet Potato Queens,” that did not get picked up by any network for the Fall 2003 season, some of her jewelry, including her wedding and engagement 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. 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. |
| 7 | After her firing from Designing Women (1986), she was parodied in a short-lived Fox comedy show, The Edge (1992), in a skit where she was portrayed as a giant 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. |
