Born and raised in the San Francisco area, Teri Hatcher began studying
acting at the American Conservatory Theatre while pursuing an
undergraduate degree in mathematics and engineering. Although she was
planning to transfer to California Polytechnic Institute, she attended
an open casting call -- as a favor to a friend who needed moral support
-- and ended up in Hollywood.
Gustaf Molin
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. She 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. 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. She became a member of the 1984 Gold
Rush, the name of the professional cheer leading squad of the American
football San Francisco 49ers.
Hatcher went to Hollywood to lend moral support to a friend during a
open casting call. She, however, auditioned and won the role of the
singing and dancing mermaid for the television series, "Love Boat, The" (1977) . She
went on to play Penny Parker, a ditsy but sweet-hearted struggling
actress in "MacGyver" (1985) . When that show ended, she 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.
She married actor 'Jon Tenney' in May 1994. She gave birth to daughter
Emerson Rose Tenney on November 10, 1997. Later, she signed to play
Sally Bowles in the road tour of Cabaret. The tour debuted in Los
Angeles on March 2, 1999. Her 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" (2004) , which could have been a huge
mistake. The show turned out to be a mega hit, which skyrocketed
Hatcher to the A-list. Her portrayal of a divorced mother, Susan Mayer,
was consistently named as America's favorite Desperate Housewife.
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.
