Teri Hatcher
Biography
Teri
Lynn Hatcher was born December 8th, 1964, in Sunnyvale, California.
She was the only child to her father Owen, a nuclear physicist and
her mother Esther, a computer programmer. With her parents' occupations,
you'd think that Teri was bound for high school glory in the math
club or chess team, but destiny would dictate otherwise.
Teri
stepped into the spotlight early on when she become captain of Freemont
High School's cheerleader squad known as the Featherettes. Her moves
while cheering on the sidelines must have made an impression, as
the graduating 1982 class named Teri the most likely to become a
Solid Gold Dancer.
After
high school, Teri went on to study acting at the American Conservatory
Theater in San Francisco while also pursuing a degree in mathematics
and engineering at De Anza College in Cupertino, California. A year
later, Teri became a member of the San Francisco 49ers cheerleading
squad, known as "The Gold Rush." After the 1984 semester,
Teri planned to transfer her credits to the California Polytechnic
Institute, but fate stepped in to mix things up once again.
Teri
went to Hollywood with a friend to lend support in her friend's
bid for an acting job. Teri also went for the part and ended up
winning her first paying gig on Aaron Spelling's Love Boat, as part
of the Pacific Princess' resident entertainers, The Mermaids. Teri
went on to land some smaller TV roles and had her first big film
part as an egomaniac actress in the 1989 satire, The Big Picture.
She went on to some comic supporting roles in films such as Tango
& Cash with Sylvester Stallone, Soap Dish with Whoopi Goldberg,
and Straight Talk with Dolly Parton. In 1988, Teri married personal
trainer Markus Leithold, but the marriage only lasted 10 months.
In 1993,
Teri's big break came when she was cast as Lois Lane in Lois &
Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. The show made her a household
name and brought her into America's living rooms every week.
After
a four-year run with Lois & Clark, Teri has remained a force
in Hollywood with high-profile roles in the 007 extravaganza, Tomorrow
Never Dies, and 2 Days In The Valley, but she is still well-known
for her role as Jerry's girlfriend on Seinfeld who tells Jerry that
her breasts are "real, and they're spectacular."
In 1994,
Teri married actor Jon Tenney and the couple had their first child,
a daughter named Emerson Rose, on November 10th, 1997.
She is
currently a proud spokesperson for Radio Shack and a self-proclaimed
animal lover who spends time with her family north of Los Angeles.
Teri can currently be seen on the new sitcom, Desperate Housewives.
