In 1986, former beauty queen Delta Burke landed a lead role on the soon-to-be hit CBS series Designing Women. For five seasons, the actor was at the top of the TV sitcom world, earning two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in the process. When her time on the show came to a dramatic end, Burke attempted to catch comedic lightning in a bottle several more times, with little success.

In more recent years, the actor has stayed largely out of the spotlight, although she is still keeping busy. From taking on Broadway to fighting for civil rights, here’s what really happened to Delta Burke.
