Donna D’Errico (born March 30, 1968) is an American actress and model. She was chosen Playboy Playmate of the Month for September 1995. D’Errico was born in Dothan, Alabama and spent her childhood in Columbus, Georgia. She is a 1986 graduate of Pacelli High School in Columbus.
D’Errico’s greatest fame is derived from her role on the television series Baywatch. She was also a host of the show Battlebots and starred in Candyman: Day of the Dead. For a time, D’Errico ran Zen Spa, a day spa in Calabasas, California.
Before making it to the bathing suit clad Baywatch beaches, Donna considered pursuing a career as an accountant, having excelled in math throughout high school.
This blonde beauty made a switch in career paths and moved to Hollywood, hoping to become an actress. She got more than she bargained for, with magazine covers and several television roles. Before succeeding in Hollywood, Donna was a Las Vegas limo driver, a stripper (for a short period of time) and hit the big league as a Play boy Playmate in September of 1995.
Before landing the role of Donna Marco on the most syndicated show in the world in 1996, Donna D’Errico had several guest appearances on the following television shows: Married With Children, High Tide and Unhappily Ever After.
Donna’s character, Donna Marco, made the crossover to Baywatch Nights, the series spin-off that spawned the career of beautiful actress Angie Harmon. With a major role on both shows, Donna was able to solely focus her attention on her Baywatch character after Baywatch Nights ended. Even though she was working up to 14 hour days while on both shows, Donna loved the challenge that the long hours presented her with and loved being on both shows simultaneously.
Her roles on television didn’t end there. Donna also appeared on the popular television
sitcom Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, Talk Soup (as a guest host), and The Big Easy. She can also add roles in films such as Baywatch: White Thunder at Glacier Bay and Men In White in 1998, and Candyman: Day of the Dead in 1999 to her repertoire.
Known for her quick wit and sense of humor, Donna has also been a guest on late night shows such as Late Night With Conan O’Brien and The Tonight Show, and has become a favored guest.
A Play boy cover girl twice, Donna also starred as herself in the Video Playmate Calendar 1999. She was featured in US magazine’s story on “The New Young Hollywood,” in March 1997.
When she is not busy acting, Donna’s other full-time job is as the wife of Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx and mother of four children. Donna and her family currently reside in Malibu, California, where she is a nature lover, a believer in homeopathy and participates in a strict weekly swimming regime.
D’Errico was married to Nikki Sixx, the bassist from the American rock band Mötley Crüe. The song “Rocketship” on Mötley Crüe’s seventh album Generation Swine is dedicated to D’Errico. Performed by Nikki Sixx, he reportedly wrote the song about the first time he ever told D’Errico that he loved her.
Together they have one daughter, Frankie-Jean Sixx, although collectively they have raised their five children together. On April 27, 2006, D’Errico filed for divorce. Previously the couple had separated then reconciled. She is a supporter of the presidential campaign of Congressman Ron Paul.

Marcia Anne Cross (born March 25, 1962 in Marlborough, Massachusetts) is an Emmy and Golden Globe Award-nominated American actress, best known for her lead role as Bree Hodge on the hit TV show Desperate Housewives. She graduated from Juilliard and earned a master’s degree in psychology at Antioch University in Los Angeles.
Prior to her role on Desperate Housewives, Cross starred as Dr. Linda Abbott on WB’s critically-acclaimed series, Everwood. She is also well known for her portrayal of the mentally unbalanced Dr. Kimberly Shaw on Melrose Place, whom she played from 1992 to 1997. Kimberly was, and remains, a firm fan favorite – providing many of the show’s most memorable moments, in her plans to kill many of the characters on the show.
One Melrose website’s poll on most popular characters on the show listed Cross’s Kimberly Shaw second only to Heather Locklear’s Amanda Woodward but the series’ producers were curiously slow in promoting Cross to full-fledged cast member status in the opening credits, an honor she did not receive until her fourth season in the role despite having had as much screen time as any series regular.
On stage, Cross performed in La Ronde at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, in Twelfth Night, or What You Will at the Hartford Stage Company, and in The Two Gentlemen of Verona at the Old Globe in San Diego.
Her first television job was on the daytime drama The Edge of Night. Leaving New York
to try her luck in Los Angeles, Cross was soon landing roles in television movies such as The Last Days of Frank and Jessie James, co-starring with Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson. Later, in 1986, she went on to portray Kate Sanders on the ABC daytime drama, One Life to Live. She played the role until 1987.
In 1991, Cross guest-starred on the 13th season of Knots Landing as the mysterious wife of Pierce Lawton (Bruce Greenwood). Ironically, she spent most of her screen-time on the show confronting Paige Matheson, played by Desperate Housewives co-star Nicollette Sheridan.
Her most notable soap role on Melrose Place began when she was hired for one episode. The producers were so impressed, they kept asking her back for additional appearances, eventually bringing her character back from the dead to continue on the hit show.
Cross also guest-starred on such series as Seinfeld, where she played Jerry’s dermatologist girlfriend (or as Jerry preferred, “Dr. Sitarides: Pimple Popper M.D.”), and Cheers, where she portrayed Susan Howe, the younger sister to Kirstie Alley’s character, Rebecca Howe.
She has also appeared on the comedies Boy Meets World, Ally McBeal, Spin City, It’s Garry Shandling’s Show and King of Queens. Her dramatic roles include appearances on CSI, Profiler, Everwood and Touched by an Angel. Cross’s film credits include Living in Fear, Always Say Good-bye, Dancing in September, Bad Influence, and Female Perversions in 1996, which featured her only on-screen nude scene.
In November 2005, Cross appeared on the cover of the newly launched Psychologies magazine in the United Kingdom. In the interview she discusses her passion for psychology and therapy. Cross holds a Masters Degree in Psychology from Antioch University.
Cross was the long time companion of Richard Jordan. Jordan died from a brain tumor on 30 August 1993. In early 2005, the Internet and tabloids swirled with rumors that Cross was gay and in a long-term relationship with another woman, and planning to come out of the closet.
Cross actually appeared on the television show The View to deny the reports, but stated that she was very supportive of the gay community.
In August 2005, Cross’s publicist also told the American celebrity newsmagazine Us Weekly that Cross had accepted the proposal of Tom Mahoney (b. 1957), a stock broker whom she had been dating for six months, and that the couple were engaged to be married. The couple got married on June 24, 2006, in front of 200 guests at the Church of Our Savior Episcopal Parish in San Gabriel, California. “It was a beautiful ceremony,” a representative for Cross told People. “They’re very happy.”
On September 6, 2006, she announced that she was pregnant and due in April 2007 and on September 20 she revealed that she was expecting twins. On January 11, 2007, Cross was placed on precautionary bedrest until their delivery, requiring her to suspend her Desperate Housewives acting duties. However, Cross did not want to give up working, even bringing the entire cast and crew to her home to shoot some scenes in her very own bedroom. Cross’s bedroom was painted to look like Bree’s.
On February 20, 2007, Cross gave birth to fraternal twin daughters, Eden and Savannah at a Los Angeles hospital, shortly before Cross’ 45th birthday. In an exclusive People interview, she revealed that she underwent in vitro fertilization soon after her wedding. Both children were baptized at the Trinity Episcopal Church.
Teri Lynn Hatcher (born 8 December 1964, Palo Alto) is an award-winning American actress best known for her roles as Lois Lane in the American television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and Susan Mayer in the American television series Desperate Housewives. She is also a “Bond Girl“, having played Paris Carver in Tomorrow Never Dies in 1997.
Hatcher was born in Palo Alto, California, the daughter of Esther (née Beshur), a computer programmer who worked for Lockheed Martin, and Owen W. Hatcher, a nuclear physicist and electrical engineer.
Hatcher’s father was of Welsh and distant Choctaw Native American descent, and her mother had French, German, and Syrian ancestry. Hatcher grew up in Sunnyvale, California. An only child, she attended Mango Junior High (now Sunnyvale Middle School), Fremont High School in Sunnyvale and De Anza College in Cupertino.
In March 2006, Hatcher revealed to Vanity Fair that she was sexually abused from the age of five by Richard Hayes Stone, an uncle by marriage who was later divorced by Hatcher’s aunt. Her parents, she said, were unaware of the abuse at the time.
In 2002, she assisted Santa Clara County prosecutors in indicting Stone for a more recent molestation that led his female victim to commit suicide at the age of fourteen. Stone pleaded guilty to four counts of child molestation and was sentenced to 14 years in prison.
In an interview appearing in Vanity Fair, Hatcher said she told the prosecutors about her
own abuse because she was haunted by thoughts of the 14-year-old girl who shot herself, and feared Stone might escape conviction.
Hatcher began her performing career as a young girl taking ballet lessons at the San Juan Girls’ Ballet Studio in downtown Los Altos, California. She later studied acting at the American Conservatory Theater.
One of her early jobs (in 1984) was as a cheerleader with the San Francisco 49ers. During this time, she also appeared as one of the mermaids on the show The Love Boat in its final season.
Hatcher landed a co-starring role in 1993, opposite Dean Cain in Lois and Clark. Her role proved to be the best move to gain the attention of audiences, and the one role she had most fallen in love with. While probably most noted for playing what is widely regarded as the best Lois Lane portrayal to date in the TV series Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993-1997), Hatcher has also appeared in such feature films as Spy Kids (2001), the 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies, Dead in the Water (1991), 2 Days in the Valley (1996), The Cool Surface (1994) and Heaven’s Prisoners (1996).
The last two films featured Hatcher’s only on-screen nude scenes, but neither did well at the box office. ABC had cancelled Lois & Clark in 1997, and Hatcher was very disappointed about the show’s demise. She was also desperate in looking for work. She has made a guest appearance in Star Trek: The Next Generation and had a recurring role on MacGyver as Penny Parker, a naïve, high-strung, young woman who always seemed to get into trouble.
She also had a guest appearance in an episode of Seinfeld, in which her character, Sidra, broke up with Jerry because she found out Jerry was trying to have Elaine surreptitiously determine whether Sidra had breast implants. In one of the more memorable lines in the show, she declared, “Oh, and by the way: they’re real, and they’re spectacular.”
Hatcher has also appeared in a series of popular Radio Shack television commercials alongside NFL Hall of Famer Howie Long. The pair remain close friends, and together have bought farm land on the outside of Los Angeles, with the intent of eventually raising endangered species. Hatcher said her plan to do so came about after reading an article featuring the world’s top 25 endangered species.
She hosted Saturday Night Live in 1996. Hatcher beat out four other actresses for the lead role on ABC’s Desperate Housewives, on which she stars as single mother Susan Mayer, a role for which she won the Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Golden Globe Award in January 2005.
In 2005, Hatcher also won the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) award in the same category. In July 2005, she was nominated for an Emmy Award as Best Actress in a Comedy Series for the same role, along with co-stars Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman, who won the award.
As of April 2006, Hatcher is one of the highest paid television actresses in the United States. She reportedly earns $285,000 per episode of Desperate Housewives. In May 2006, she released her first book, Burnt Toast: And Other Philosophies of Life. In conjunction with the book, she has also launched a line of apparel and merchandise. Furthermore she is prominently featured in an international campaign for Repeat Cashmere.
Between 1985 and 1988, she had a relationship with her MacGyver costar Richard Dean Anderson. Hatcher married Marcus Leithold on June 4, 1988; they divorced the following year. On May 27, 1994, she married actor Jon Tenney; they had a daughter, Emerson Rose, in November 10, 1997, and divorced in March 2003. It has also been reported that Hatcher had a brief relationship with 7′0″ former NBA player John Salley in 2005.
Hatcher has also been dating Stephen Kay, who played Reginald, the Quartermaines’ butler, on General Hospital.Since then she and Stephen have broken up. In June 2007, Hatcher appeared on the Paul O’Grady show where she revealed that she writes a column in FHM.
