Biography
Teri Lynn Hatcher was born and spent much of her
childhood in San Francisco, California. She studied drama
at the American Conservatory Theatre as well as pursuing
her knowledge with an undergraduate degree in mathematics
and engineering. Before hitting the acting world, Hatcher
performed as a cheerleader for San Francisco 49ers, her
local football team.
Soon she was asked to join at friend at an open casting
call in Hollywood. Teri was offered the chance to audition,
took it, and landed her first screen role in the TV series,
"The Love Boat".
After “The Love Boat”, Teri Hatcher took up
a part in "MacGyver", as Penny Parker. Her real
claim to fame came with her winning the role of Lois in
“The New Adventures of Superman”. Teri commented
later she was pleased to leave the image of the dizzy blond,
Penny Parker, and move onto something different.
"Despite the fact that I have
a good-size pair of breasts... in Lois & Clark, I have
the opportunity to show the world they're not my only attribute."
In 1994 Teri married the actor Jon Tenney, whom she had
a daughter named Emerson Rose with. Sadly, Last year (2004)
Hatcher and Tenney filed for a divorce.
Teri Hatcher can dubiously hold the record for being the
most “downloaded” celebrity of the late ‘90s.
But from her strivings as an actor and with her great ability
for science, Teri Hatcher is more than just another pretty
face.
She came back into the public spotlight in late 2004 as
one of the central characters in the hugely popular television
series "Desperate Housewives".
