Hatcher was born in the Bay area to a
physicist father and computer programmer mother. She asserts that she
was an unattractive "nerd" in high school - although no
photographic proof has been furnished. After graduation, she attended
community college to study math and engineering, then attended the
American Conservatory Theatre. Although at the time she didn't have
designs on an acting career, she was definitely coming out of her shell:
in a remarkable transition for a former nerd, she became a cheerleader
for the San Francisco 49ers when she was twenty. Her life began to
change when she agreed to lend moral support to a friend who was
attending an open casting call for The Love Boat. Hatcher won a spot in
a troupe of dancing mermaids, a failed publicity attempt to up the
sinking show's appeal. This small taste of success was all Hatcher
needed to give acting a full-time shot.
Later that year, after prancing her fins on The Love Boat, Hatcher made
her TV acting debut as Penny Parker in MacGyver, which turned into a
recurring role and initiated a painful, three-year romantic involvement
with its star, Richard Dean Anderson. Her romantic track record was
already shaky - she had a ten-month marriage to personal trainer Markus
Leithold, who has since sold his story of their short-lived coital bliss
to the tabloids. But despite her personal problems, she continued to
plug away, guest-starring on numerous shows and starring in several
failed pilots. Hatcher managed to land small roles in several
films--notably as Sylvester Stallone's sister in Tango & Cash and as
a big-haired airhead in Soapdish, which showcased her comedic talents. A
starring role in The Cool Surface also showcased her
"talents," but it's a performance Hatcher would like to
forget.
Stardom finally found Hatcher in a most unlikely role: Lois Lane in Lois
& Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. She gained a loyal
following for her portrayal as the sexy, spunky reporter, although she
says the program's evolution into a family show caught her off-guard.
Hatcher's success also made her the Rita Hayworth of the new technology
set. Her popularity on the Internet is legendary: for a long time, she
held the title for the most downloaded female, and she has countless
virtual shrines that compile her vital statistics and every new photo
that appears of her.
With a new marriage to actor Jon Tenney, and revealing roles in Heaven's
Prisoners and 2 Days in the Valley, Hatcher is on a winning streak.
Upcoming film roles in Dead Girl and Dogwater should help Hatcher prove
that her talents are anything but artificial.
