Delta Burke has overcome a long history of eating disorders to reach her status as a symbol for large women all over the world. Even when she became famous as Suzanne Sugarbaker on the popular TV series Designing Women, she was told to stand behind a desk so that the audience would not see her thighs. She became a model and designer of plus-size clothing, and encouraged women to reject the media's view of females as being ultra-thin. Burke has written her biography, Delta Style, and has produced several television shows. ~ Alice Day, Rovi
