Teri Hatcher<\/a> plays Susan Mayer in Desperate Housewives<\/a> and Susan is my favorite among them all. Sure, there are thing I can relate in most of the women there but Susan is the one that I identify them most. OK, so I\u2019d have kicked Carl\u2019s ass a long time ago and I\u2019m not that big on kids, but personality-wise we have a lot in common. (I\u2019d love to say looks too, but the woman is fitter at 45 than I am at 25 so\u2026) Susan seems so natural, it is impossible to imagine that there is not anything from Teri herself in her. Both Susan and the show are extremely entertaining but the show started in 2004, and I already knew about and liked Teri before that.<\/p>\n

I liked watching “Lois & Clark: The new adventures of Superman”. I love Superman (it is a habit from Christopher Reeve days) and the show was fun enough. She also played in Tango and Cash<\/a>, alongside Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell. A funny cop movie where she plays Stallone\u2019s dancer sister. She is pretty and fun to watch. But I never really followed Hatcher after Superman. She wasn\u2019t in anything I had seen and it was like she had fallen from the face of the earth.\u00a0 Apparently she had, a little bit.<\/p>\n

The book:<\/p>\n

It is hard to believe that Teri Hatcher is single. It is even harder to believe that she is approaching 46. But most importantly, I find it really odd that she chose to stay away from spotlight. She got married, got a kid and decided to be a full-time mom. She had money, the husband and the baby, so why shouldn\u2019t she? But of course things didn\u2019t go as planned. She got a divorce and money started to melt away. So she had to go back to acting and take care of her daughter.<\/p>\n

Burn Toast is about her journey in life: how she ended up an actress, what she learned and what she got through. She talks sincerely about her life, career, kid and relationships. It is a fast and easy read and the book shows a lot of times that there are in fact a lot of smilarities between Teri and Susan.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t really a self-help book. It is about one particular journey that a lot of people (obviously, especially women) can identify with. It will surely be more interesting for aspiring actresses, single moms and\/or Teri Hatcher fans.<\/p>\n

It is light and true to heart. I enjoyed it.<\/p>\n
