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."

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 has been a strong supporter of AIDS Walk Los Angeles and New York, and very active in the battle against breast cancer.
