Desperate Housewives' Teri Hatcher Too Old for TV?
Sunday, March 04, 2007
Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher, who plays Susan Mayer on ABC's hit show, apparently thinks she's getting to old to work in front of the camera for much longer.
"I'll work a 14-hour day, four days in a row and feel like I've been run over," she says, finding it difficult to balance her work and home life. Hatcher is a single mother to her eight-year-old daughter Emerson Rose.
"But I don't call it tired, I call it, 'Nothing is right, and I'm no good at my job and I'm horrible and no one will ever love me.' This is a serial problem for mothers. We're trying to be everything all the time. The best mom, the best worker, the best wife or the best dater. And it's too much."
She's recently sold a television show of her own to a network, although which one is something she's not prepared to shared yet.
"[The show is] a comedy, and it may never make it to air but it's exciting to be behind the camera. I'm writing a book too!"
She is planning to grow old gracefully behind the camera.
"I'm trying to build a business that will allow me not to be in front of the camera, because, you know, I'm old!"
Hatcher, who's 42, seems to have only recently come to this conclusion about aging naturally. Recently she told British papers that she'd never had any sort of cosmetic surgery or used Botox, and that she didn't believe in "changing the natural chemical state of who you are." However, a year ago she admitted to having had both Botox and collagen treatments in the past. She's also said that she's been dying her grey hair for the last 17 years.
Will this new resolve not to grow old on screen mean she's leaving Desperate Housewives in the near future? Her lips are sealed, collagen injections or not.
One thing's for sure: Teri Hatcher certainly knows how to keep her name in the news.
