Teri Hatcher recalls tough times before landing ‘Desperate Housewives’ role

abc

MUMBAI: On UK pubcaster BBC One's show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross which aired a few days ago Golden Globe-winning Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher admitted that she is full of insecurities. Hatcher – who revealed that she wasn't wearing underwear all evening – recountted how she'd fallen on hard times before she won the role of Susan Mayer.

She also spoke on the dificulties women have to face in Hollywood. "I was practically begging for a job, I really needed it," she says of a failed sitcom audition. "I didn't get it, I cried for 18 hours … I was desperate."

She also lashed out at the fake world of LA. "There's this illusion that we feel so great. I wanted to admit [in her new book, Burnt Toast] that we women in Hollywood put on extra hair, shove our feet into shoes that don't fit . There are a lot of women where there are parts that aren't satisfied. As you gain confidence you are less sensitive about what other people think. That's played itself out in my life."
