Birth Name:
Teri Lynn Hatcher
Teri Hatcher grew up in Sunnyvale, California. In high school she participated on a dance team called The Featherettes. She studied acting at San Francisco's famed American Conservatory Theater, and more importantly was a cheerleader for the San Francisco 49'ers.

Her first acting gig came when she was providing moral support for a friend at an audition, and then inadvertantly got cast for a part in The Love Boat. After that, she was a regular on the series MacGyver. She also appeared in many films, including Tango and Cash and The Big Picture, and

More made memorable guest spots on Seinfeld and L.A. Law.

When MacGyver was cancelled, Teri landed the part of Lois Lane on Lois and Clark. 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.

In 1994 she married fellow actor Jon Tenney. On November 10 1997 they had their first child Emerson Rose. This was a dry period for Teri where she primarly had small roles in films and did a long series of Radio Shack ads. In 2003 Teri filed for divorce and is now a single parent sharing custody of Emerson.

Teri finally hit the jackpot when she was cast as the lead in ABC's hit comedy, Desperate Housewives. Which has been a big hit and given Teri two Screen Actors Guild Awards and a Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy.

    She is a beautiful actress and I love her acting. She is just such an amazing actress :D hide show

    She is always stunning in her role as a mother to two different children by two different fathers. She plays an amazing mother. She will always love Mike Delfeno. Thats what I love about her character, is that she is so devoted and such a good woman at heart. She also can not say no to her friends on the show. She is a great person and I'm sure in real life she is the same amazing lady with just a different life. I couldn't imagine her with a different role in life other then being a mother to children, but I hope she isn't a single mom because she deserves happiness.

    i love her... teri hatcher is really good... hide show

    i remembered the first time i watched desperate housewives, i memorized the name of the leading characters and bree was really stunning for me but when i noticed susan's clumsiness and her big crush to mike, since then, i am a susan myer fan...i like teri hatcher because, for me she is a good actress although there was a particular scene that brought rage to the filipino community in US where she was in there, i still like her. i am proud of being a filipino and i believe with what we are worth of. despite of that, still love teri hatcher, i believe, it was just an acting not her true personality... teri hatcher... yes! go... go.. go... susan myer... i hate your enemies...

    She makes the show for sure hide show

    Without klutzy air head Susan I doubt this show would have been such a hit. I think I relate to her character the most. Her acting this season (5) has been especially good. I would like to see her have a juicer story line then the ones that she has gotten so far. She is capable of more then just looking for a man. She has always been a favorite of mine since she played Lois on Lois and Clark (another great show). I can't understand why anyone wouldn't like her. If she ever leaves I think it would be the end of Desperate Housewives.

    Susan on "Desperate Housewives." hide show

    Teri Hatcher is such an amazing actress. She is very talented and beautiful. She had her first child, Emerson Rose, on November 10, 1997. She is famous for her role as Susan on Desperate Housewives. Her character has been through a lot in the past. Her character has competed for a man, was held hostage at gunpoint, has dated a doctor when she loved another man and blurted it out, remarried her ex-husband for health insurance, her boyfriend was hit with a car right before he was going to propose, she dated another man whose wife was in a coma when her boyfriend was in a coma, called the cops on her friend's husband because her boyfriend was being accused for a murder that people believe her husband committed, her daughter was in a hostage situation, her daughter was having sex with another woman's 18-year-old trouble-making nephew, and ruined her friendship with her friend several different times. She has portrayed her role as Susan beautifully. Teri Hatcher is definitely a television legend, and she definitely deserves to be regarded as one.

    Susan Mayer Delfino! hide show

    I rememer I used to watch and I used to like Lois and Clark a lot when I was a little girl.. When I first started to watch Desperate Houesewives I didn't recognize Teri Hatcher as the actress who played Lois.. I swear.. That's probably because I was very young when I was watching Lois and Clark.. anyway.. Teri rules is her role.. She is my fave housewives of the show.. She's so clumsy and funny.. I think Teri is doing an amazing job.. She is a perfect Susan.. I remeber thet scene where Susan is crying in her mum's wedding dress.. WOW.. a very intense scene.. I really like her a lot and I really think she is very talented.. She can easly pass from a dramatic scene (like the wedding dress one) to a funny one with no problem at all.
