Teri Lynn Hatcher was born December 8, 1964 and grew up in Sunnyvale, California.  She studied acting at San Francisco's famed American Conservatory Theater, and was a cheerleader for the San Francisco Forty-Niners.  Teri’s first acting gig came when she was providing moral support for a friend at an audition, and then inadvertently got cast for a part in “The Love Boat.” After that, she was a regular on the television series “MacGyver.”  She also appeared in many films, including “Tango and Cash” and “The Big Picture,” and made a memorable guest spot on “Seinfeld” as Sidra in the episode where Jerry was trying to determine whether or not Sidra had breast implant and ends with her character declaring, “Oh, and by the way: they’re real, and they’re spectacular.”

When “MacGyver” was cancelled, Teri landed the part of Lois Lane on “Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” which put her on the map.  After the end of “Lois and Clark” Teri appeared in films such as “2 Days In The Valley” and the James Bond film “Tomorrow Never Dies.”  She was out of the industry for a while between 1999 to 2004 before she landed the role of Susan Mayer, a divorced mother on the hit dark comedy soap opera “Desperate Housewives.”  Hatcher has won both a Golden Globe for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and the SAG Award for Female Actor in a Comedy Series for “Deperate Housewives,” before the show's first season was even over.
