This actress got her start in showbusiness on the football field as a cheerleader for one of the most successful teams in NFL history, the San Francisco 49ers before making her mark in TV and film. Who is she?

She is Teri Hatcher. 

The 60-year-old California-born actress, who had studied ballet growing up, put her skills to use when she took the field in 1984 as a cheerleader for the San Francisco 49ers.

She eventually received a Super Bowl ring for her efforts.

It happened nearly a decade later, after former quarterback Steve Young appeared on an episode of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman in 1993 and introduced her to the team’s owner.

During an appearance on The Talk in January 2024, she explained that her ring is one of her favorite pieces of jewelry. 

‘Honestly, the only finger that it still fits on is my wedding finger,’ she told the hosts showing them the multi-carat sparkler, ‘and since I’m single, I might as well be married to the NFL.

‘It was a great journey,’ she said of her experience.

‘I actually got to be friends with the owners of the team back when I was doing Lois and Clark,’ she explained.

‘I had become friends with them and when they won the (1994) Super Bowl in Miami, they had invited me and my parents, and then they gave me this ring, so that was a good perk.’ 

Although she is busy with multiple projects, the actress has revealed that like many women her age, she is a member of the ‘sandwich generation.’

After successfully raising her daughter, Emmerson, 28, whom she shares with ex-husband Jon Tenney, 63, Hatcher is also taking care of her elderly parents. 

‘My dad has dementia and both my parents are 89 years old, and I take care of both of them. I’m an only child and that takes a lot of my time,’ she told First for Women for its December issue. 

The stunning California beauty explained as she approaches getting older, she wants to focus on quality of life.

 ‘I’m curious about what is the best benefit and approach for me. And I can’t speak for other people but for me, it seems to be concentrating on the graтιтude and the joy that everyday can offer and what I can find and make out of it combined with mindful, responsible, accountable behavior to behave in a way that is going to allow me to have longevity.’

The WondLA voice actress said she is looking forward to more adventures in the future. 

‘I don’t care what I really look like in the sixties, but I do care whether or not I can climb up an 8-mile hike up a mountain, and that’s something I have done in the past,’ she explained.

‘I’ve climbed Machu Picchu, I’ve done a 60-mile hike along the southern coast of Cornwall, England. These are things that bring me a lot of joy and I don’t want those opportunities to go away just because I’m 70 or 80 years old.’
