| |
Teri Hatcher, actually Teri Lynn Hatcher, was
born in Sunnyvale, California, USA on December 8, 1964 as the
only child of Owen and Esther Hatcher. Her father is a nuclear
physicist and her mother is a computer programmer. Teri Hatcher
spent her childhood dancing and fishing with her father. While
at Fremont High School, she was captain of the Featherettes, a
dance team which had the look of regular cheerleaders, with the
exception of the large head dresses they would wear. She was
voted "Most Likely to Become a Solid Gold Dancer" by her
graduating class in 1982. Teri Hatcher studied acting at the
American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco while taking a
degree course in mathematics and engineering at De Anza College
in Cupertino, California.
Teri Hatcher became a member of the 1984 Gold Rush, the name of
the professional cheerleading squad of the American football San
Francisco 49ers. Teri Hatcher went to Hollywood to lend moral
support to a friend during a open casting call. She, however,
auditoned and won the role of the singing and dancing mermaid
for the televison series, "The Love Boat" (1977). She went on to
play Penny Parker, a ditzy but sweet-hearted struggling actress
in "MacGyver" (1985). When that show ended, Teri Hatcher
auditioned for and won the role of smart and savvy Lois in "Lois
& Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" (1993), saying that she
didn't want to be stuck with the pretty airhead image she had
acquired as Penny.
Teri Hatcher married actor Jon Tenney in May 1994. She gave
birth to daughter Emerson Rose Tenney on November 10, 1997.
Later, Teri Hatcher signed to play Sally Bowles in the road tour
of Cabaret. The tour debuted in Los Angeles on March 2, 1999.
Teri Hatcher final show was on September 4, 1999. She stayed out
of the industry for a little bit before nabbing a role on the
darkly, comedic soap opera "Desperate Housewives", which could
have been a huge mistake. The show turned out to be a mega hit,
which skyrocketed Hatcher to the A-list. Teri Hatcher's divorced
mother Susan Mayer was consistantly named as America's favorite
Desperate Housewife. Teri Hatcher won both a Golden Globe for
Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and the SAG Award for Female
Actor in a Comedy Series before the show's first season was even
over. |
