Teri Hatcher stars as Susan Mayer on ABC's "Desperate Housewives."

Teri Hatcher's wildly 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 2005 Television Critics Award nomination and a 2005 Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy. The role of the single mom searching for love in the sometimes sordid, always intriguing world of Wisteria Lane has vaulted Teri Hatcher to the pinnacle of today's hottest comic actresses. The role comes naturally to Teri Hatcher, who is a single mother to her seven-year-old daughter, Emerson Rose.

Teri Hatcher has become a household name not just in the U.S.; "Desperate Housewives'" European success resulted in Teri Hatcher's recent honor by the U.K. edition of Glamour magazine as one of its 2005 Women of the Year. The award was presented to Teri Hatcher by Sir Elton John.

Teri Hatcher's 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," which had USA Today commenting, "She gives one of the best and most energetic performances by a good-sport host in a long time." What's more, the sketches Teri Hatcher did with Molly Shannon, David Spade and Chris Kattan have become part of "SNL's Best Of." Other favorite roles include that of Sally Bowles in the national tour of the Tony Award-winning musical, "Cabaret," and in Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues."

Of all her film credits, Teri Hatcher still considers the first movie she ever made—"The Big Picture," directed by Christopher Guest—to be her favorite. Other movies that followed were "Soapdish," with Kevin Kline, "Two Days in the Valley," "Spy Kids," directed by Roberto Rodriguez, and as "Bond" girl Paris Carver in "Tomorrow Never Dies," opposite Pierce Brosnan. Nor will anyone ever forget the line Teri Hatcher made famous in "Seinfeld," which was, of course, "They're real—and they're spectacular."

Teri Hatcher was honored with the 1996 Spirit of Compassion Award for her generous support of the Aviva Center, which provides services to sexually and physically abused adolescents. Teri Hatcher has been a strong supporter of AIDS Walk Los Angeles and New York, and very active in the battle against breast cancer. The gown Teri Hatcher wore to the 2005 Golden Globe Awards was sold at auction to benefit Clothes Off Our Backs, as was a Versace couture dress from an In Style Magazine cover shoot. E! Entertainment Television has named Teri Hatcher the network's Best Dressed Woman.

Among her pop culture honors, Teri 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! Teri Hatcher has also been honored by the Hollywood Women's Press Club as "Discovery of the Year."
