“Drop Dead Diva” is the new breakout hit on Lifetime this season. If you’re not familiar with it, you’re missing out. Jane (Brooke Elliott) gets in a fatal car accident and is reincarnated into the body of a recently deceased attorney who just happens to be plus size. This week, Delta Burke and Liza Minnelli guest star as two psychic sisters suing each other over their competing businesses.
Delta is deadly serious about weight and image, so she jumped at the opportunity to appear on the Lifetime TV series.
“There’s so much more to a person than what you physically look like,” she says. “You might detect a little bitterness there. I don’t know why but at this age, at this point, I am thrilled to see [the series] and to see [Brooke] get to play it … someone so talented.”
As for getting the opportunity to play Liza’s sister, Delta couldn’t be more thrilled, telling ET, “Well you know, I’m quite enamored of Liza.”
As for Liza, she admits she loved dueling with Delta, saying, “I get to play a real bitch and it was heaven.”
The “Drop Dead Diva” episode with Delta and Liza premieres Sunday, Sept. 20 at 9 p.m. on Lifetime TV.
