I remember saying in 1986 when Designing Women first started that they were all very attractive, but I thought Delta Burke was the most beautiful woman I had ever seem on TV.
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.
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.
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 🕺 💃!!!
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..!!
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. 💜💜💜💜
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).
Little did we know that only several years later they WOULD be catty and bitchy. But I still love this show. It's watching my reruns that I got directed to this! :)
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!!!
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.
Hey right on!! Yeah it was the last decade for glamor and for me tha last time women actually looked good. All four are gorgeous but Delta is particularly delicious. I do love her suit. I sure miss this era.
You're not kidding. Then came the ugly "natural look" of the 90's. Now... oh my God, women look like the people you would have found in a freak show back in the day...
