Teri Hatcher
Plays Susan Mayer
Teri Hatcher's successful portrayal of Susan Mayer earned her a
2005 Golden Globe Award (Best Actress in a Leading Role, Musical or
Comedy, Television), a 2005 Screen Actors Guild Award (Outstanding
Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series), a 2006 Golden
Globe Award nomination, a 2005 Television Critics Award nomination
and a 2005 Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a
Comedy.
The role comes naturally to the actress, who is a single mother to
her daughter, Emerson Rose.
Her previous credits include starring as Lois Lane in the
1994-1997 ABC series, Lois & Clark.
Among the many highlights of her career is hosting Saturday Night
Live, playing Sally Bowles in Cabaret, and in Eve
Ensler's The Vagina Monologues.
Hatcher still considers the first movie she ever made - The Big
Picture, directed by Christopher Guest - to be her favourite.
Hatcher also appeared in Soapdish, Two Days in the
Valley, Spy Kids, directed by Roberto Rodriguez, and as a Bond girl
in Tomorrow Never Dies.
Nor will anyone ever forget the line she made famous in Seinfeld -
"They're real - and they're spectacular."
Hatcher became a New York Times best-selling author with her first
book, Burnt Toast and other Philosophies of Life.
Hatcher is involved in worthy causes, including the Tuberous
Sclerosis Alliance, the Starlight Starbright Foundation and the
Make A Wish Foundation.
Hatcher has had the distinction of being the most downloaded image
on the internet the year she posed wrapped in Superman's cape - and
nothing else!
