Delta Burke

LONG TIME NO SEE: DELTA BURKE

Back in the early 90’s Delta Burke was one of the hottest TV stars while on her hit series Designing Women. Tabloids were obsessed with her fluctuating weight and either photographed her eating or called her anorexic. Since 1989 she and Gerald McRaney have had a solid marriage, despite the fact that she admits to being something of a “hoarder” and once had 27 storage units! Above, the pair walked out of a Rite-Aid in Studio City and Delta insisted on giving money to a solicitor outside.

WHAT EXACTLY DID DELTA BURKE HOARD?

When TMZ’s story about Delta Burke seeking psychiatric help for her hoarding problem came out, we just HAD to find out what Delta has stuffed into those 27 or 30 storage units she has. We pondered; wardrobe items from Designing Women that are too small and out of style? (We pictured rack after rack of Suzanne’s polka dot power suits.) Or did Delta collect box after box of old business papers and mail that she can’t bear to toss? Neither, it turns out. Mostly, Delta collects furniture- she can’t resist English and French period antiques. Plus, of course tons of glassware and decorative items from the period. She also has two rooms full of porcelain dolls. It seems every time she moves to a new house she puts everything in storage and starts over. Ironically her California home is contemporary and the antiques are unsuitable! Delta admits she has bought the same thing TWICE because she couldn’t FIND the first one. Facing the task of sorting out all that stuff is enough to send anyone to the funny farm – we suggest she call Your Little Helper.
