Teri Hatcher

Born on December 8, 1964, in Sunnyvale (California), Teri Lynn Hatcher is the only child of a brainiac marriage, as her father, Owen W. Hatcher, was a nuclear physicist, and her mother, Esther, was a programmer at a aerospace company.

She inherited from them a privileged brain for logic, as she was always a brilliant student, who combined school with dance classes, which allowed her to become a cheerleader for the San Francisco 49ers. She lived through a dark episode when she was a teenager, as she suffered abuse by a shady individual (partner of one of her aunts), whom she helped convict, testifying when he was put on trial for multiple similar cases.

He enrolled in Mathematics and Engineering at the Californian University of Cupertino. However, he did not get to graduate and regularly jokes about it. “Those studies came in handy for me to bet on horse racing, because I am very fond of it and also, with the betting I teach my daughter mathematics,” explained the actress.

He decided to risk his future on acting, enrolling at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. She ended up just in time to join the cast of the last season of the legendary series Holidays at Sea , where she debuted with a very secondary role, as she played Amy, one of the dancers on board.

She spent time as a secondary regular in series like Capitol or The Law of Angels , Star Trek. The new generation and especially MacGyver , where she appeared from time to time, in different seasons, as a woman obsessed with becoming famous as an actress and singer, which she puts the protagonist in more than one trouble. She caused a certain scandal with her interpretation in various episodes of Seinfeld , as the protagonist becomes obsessed with finding out if she has had surgery on her breasts, so the girl decides to break up with him. In cinema, she was the sister of Sylvester Stallone in Tango and Cash , an action film by renowned Russian director Andrey Konchalovsky.

His big break came when Warners was looking for a leading actress for Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman . Numerous actresses had submitted to the casting, but she was chosen for her ability to combine drama and comedy, without losing her appeal. The series, focusing mainly on the romantic relationship between the superhero and his partner, was a huge success. Hatcher was subsequently recruited to play the mother of her character, Lois Lane, in the final season of Smallville .

Divorced from aspiring actor Markus Leithold, she joined another guild member, Jon Tenney ( Five Brothers ), in 1994. She had a daughter with him, Emerson, and was actually three months pregnant when she played Paris Carver, wife of a sinister news mogul ( Jonathan Pryce ), though she ends up helping James Bond ( Pierce Brosnan ) in Tomorrow Never Dies . She continued immersed in spy movies with her evil character in Spy Kids , where the leading children burned her hair.

He went through his worst moment when the series about the superhero ended, according to lovers of urban legends due to the famous curse of Superman, which relegates to disgrace actors and actresses who have played the character or his partner, such as the sadly injured Christopher Reeve , the relegated to oblivion Margot Kidder and Brandon Routh , and his own partner on the small screen, Dean Cain , of whom little has been known afterwards. The truth is that with the arrival of the new millennium, Hatcher was in the doldrums and it was rumored that he had anorexia problems due to his extreme thinness.

However, in 2004 she was chosen to play Susan Mayer, an accident-prone and somewhat clumsy illustrator of children’s stories, in the series Desperate Housewives , which brought her great notoriety, like the other three leads. For her work, she won a Golden Globe and an Emmy nomination. The series has been on the air for 8 seasons. After her cancellation, she quickly returned to television, as a guest on the series Designing Jane , where she played the protagonist’s mother for four episodes.
