About Teri Hatcher
In 1987, she appeared as the wise and intellectual 18-year-old daughter of the primary character in the short-lived Fox sitcom Karen’s Song, which was played by Patty Duke. That same year, she also had a guest-starring role in an episode of Night Court. In the episode “The Outrageous Okona,” which aired in 1988 on Star Trek: The Next Generation, she played the role of Lt. Robinson for a brief cameo appearance. She had a guest appearance on an episode of Quantum Leap titled “Star Crossed” in the year 1989.
Esther (née Beshur), who worked as a computer programmer for Lockheed Martin, and Owen Walker Hatcher, Jr., who worked as a nuclear physicist and electrical engineer, gave birth to their only child, Hatcher, on December 8, 1964 in Palo Alto, California. Hatcher is an only child. Her mother is of Syrian, Czech, and Irish origin, while her father has English, Welsh, Irish, and Choctaw ancestry. Her father is also of Choctaw lineage.
The year she was included in the Top 25 list from Celebrity Sleuth was 1997, when she was recognized as the Sexiest Woman by that publication. The Australian edition of FHM began publishing a list of the 100 sexiest women in 1998, and Hatcher was ranked number 25 on that list. However, she was omitted from the list that was released in 2000.
She joined the cast of the television series The Love Boat in September 1985 and remained there until May 1986, playing the role of Amy, one of the Mermaid showgirls. She had brief comedy lines in some episodes, and in one episode she was part of one of three plots alongside a male guest star. However, the majority of her work entailed dancing and singing as part of the Mermaids performance routine. She played the role of Penny Parker, a chatty but naive young woman, in six episodes of the television series MacGyver, which aired from 1986 to 1989.
Following a brief cameo as a guest star in an episode of Murphy Brown in the year 1990, Hatcher’s next part in a television series was a comedic one that was created by Norman Lear and aired in the year 1991. She portrayed the role of a 30-year-old lawyer who was involved in a mostly sexual relationship with Robert Loggia’s character, a widowed businessman who was twice her age. During that summer, the series aired for a short time on CBS, but it was not renewed.
A much-discussed guest appearance that Hatcher made on an episode of Seinfeld in 1993 garnered a lot of attention. In the episode, her character, Sidra, ends her relationship with Jerry because she thinks that Jerry sent his friend Elaine into a sauna to find out if Sidra’s breasts are natural or enhanced by surgery. Hatcher played the role of Sidra. Hatcher reprised her role as Sidra for a few sequences in two later episodes, namely “The Pilot” which served as the finale of the fourth season, and “The Finale (Part 2)” which served as the conclusion of the series.
In 1996, Hatcher served as the host of NBC’s Saturday Night Live. When casting for the character of Paris Carver in the 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies, Hatcher was chosen over Monica Bellucci for the part. When production began, Hatcher was already three months along in her pregnancy with her first child with husband Jon Tenney. On June 4, 1988, Hatcher wed a man named Marcus Leithold, who was from Butler, Pennsylvania. However, the couple split the following year.
In addition, Hatcher has been seen in movies such as Spy Kids (2001) and played the antagonist in two crime dramas: the ensemble piece 2 Days in the Valley (1996), which was a moderate success at the box office, and Heaven’s Prisoners (1996), which starred Alec Baldwin and was a commercial flop. Both of these films were released in 1996.
She competed against and defeated four other actresses to land the role of Susan Mayer on ABC’s Desperate Housewives, in which she starred as one of the primary characters. Both in 2005 and 2006, FHM ranked Hatcher as one of the top 100 sexiest women in the world, and she finished in position 63 and 81, respectively, in those years. Between its first edition in 2000 and its last edition in 2007, the American edition of FHM placed her on its list of the 100 Sexiest Women in the United States five times, with her highest position being number seven in 2005 and number ten in 2006. She wed actor Jon Tenney on May 27th, 1994, and the couple went on to have a daughter together, Emerson, who was born in 1997. In March of 2003, they got a divorce.
It was estimated that Teri Hatcher earned $285,000 for each episode of Desperate Housewives she appeared in during the month of April 2006, making her one of the best paid television actresses in the United States. In 2007, Hatcher started contributing articles to the Glamour magazine column.
On the episode of Idol Gives Back that aired on April 9, 2008, Hatcher sang a cover of “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood. Both the Other Mother, a mystery person with button eyes, and Coraline’s mother, Mel Jones, who consistently displays Coraline “tough love,” were portrayed by her in the 2009 film Coraline, which gained acclaim from film critics. Both of these roles were voiced by her.
In November 2010, a story claimed that Hatcher, along with co-star Felicity Huffman, would be abandoning their roles on the show Desperate Housewives. However, ABC rejected the news. After some time had passed, Hatcher addressed the speculation around her exit from the show Desperate Housewives. In 2011, Hatcher was ranked #38 on the “Hottest Women of All Time” list that was compiled by Men’s Health magazine.
In 2018, Hatcher launched a channel on YouTube under the name Hatching Change. It is broken up into two parts, the first of which is titled “Van Therapy” and the second is titled “Don’t Eat ‘It’ Out Of a Box”. In the period that has passed since the cancellation of Desperate Housewives, Teri Hatcher, who was already a dedicated baker, has become increasingly enthusiastic about and immersed in the culinary arts, even going so far as to occasionally take classes in the subject.
In the primary election for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, Hatcher gave her support to Andrew Yang.
