Biography
About Teri Hatcher
Teri Lynn Hatcher was born on Tuesday 8th of December 1964 in Palo Alto, California, United States, making her 61 years old and American. She began her career as a cheerleader, a profession she held before becoming a writer and actress. Her breakthrough role came in 1993 when she co-starred opposite Dean Cain in the TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, where she played Lois Lane. That role made her famous, and she later became one of the highest-paid actresses on television. In 2006, she reportedly earned $285,000 per episode of Desperate Housewives, a show that earned her multiple Golden Globe wins.
Hatcher has appeared in a wide variety of film and TV roles over her 41-year career. She is known for playing Paris Carver in the 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies, a role that places her among the James Bond Girls. She also did voice work for the animated movie Stan Lee's Mighty 7 as Silver Skylark. Other credits include Star Trek: The Next Generation, MacGyver (where she had a recurring role as Penny Parker), and the TV series Quantum Leap. She made guest appearances in several films, including Tango and Cash, Spy Kids, 2 Days in the Valley, and Heaven's Prisoners. Her only on-screen nude scenes were in two films that did not do well at the box office: The Cool Surface (1994) and Heaven's Prisoners (1996). She has also written a book, Burnt Toast: And Other Philosophies of Life, released in May 2006, and later wrote a column for Glamour magazine.
Hatcher began performing as a young girl, taking ballet lessons at the San Juan Girls' Ballet Studio in downtown Los Altos, California. She later studied acting at the American Conservatory Theater. In 1984, she worked as a cheerleader for the San Francisco 49ers. She has been married twice: first to Marcus Leithold in 1988 (divorced the following year), and then to actor Jon Tenney in 1994, with whom she had a daughter, Emerson Tenney. They divorced in March 2003. Hatcher is a natural blonde turned brown-haired, with hazel eyes, and she stands 5'6" with a slim build. She has a belly button piercing. As of December 2023, she had amassed 512,000 followers on Instagram, a number that has since grown.
