Delta Burke
Known for
Delta Burke has been in the trade long enough to be called a veteran actress who has spent far more time working than being talked about. 'Good Boy!' belongs on any short list of her work. The bulk of the career has been spent in comedy. 32 appearances between the two screens is the plain arithmetic of it. 'What Women Want' remains the reference point, thanks largely to Eve.
