How difficult was Teri Hatcher to work with?

[TMC]

She's on this list of the 8 Most Demanding Hollywood Stars. Here's some insight of her antics while working on Lois & Clark:

I don't know about on set with Lois & Clark but she allegedly pulled the same stunt with her salary on Dean Cain she later used on her co-stars on Desperate Housewives.

Reportedly Cain and she agreed to re-negotiate their contracts together but she jumped the gun and re-negotiated hers with the proviso she would always be paid more than Cain. (and not just a $1 but I think a certain %)

On TND there were numerous reports that she was difficult, not coming out of her trailer for hours on a production that was already months behind schedule. They had to do the slap scene about 25 times because she kept messing up her lines and Brosnan's face had to be iced between takes. The rumor was she did it on purpose because she didn't like his five o'clock shadow in the kissing scene. Brosnan who seems to have a good word to say about almost everyone said when asked about her that he was sure her mother liked her.

Later it was revealed she was pregnant and every made excuses and felt bad for criticizing her but looking at her history she was pretty much acting as usual.

19. Teri Hatcher

Marc Cherry, the creator of Desperate Housewives, has testified in court that Teri Hatcher is, and we quote, “the meanest woman anywhere in the world”. Ouch.

According to Celebuzz, the women of Desperate Housewives gifted the crew of the show with luggage gifts as a thankful farewell after eight successful years.

Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman and Vanessa Williams showed their thanks just after the last scenes of the series finale were finally shot.

“Just know that on all your future adventures you are carrying a little piece of our love and gratitude. Thank you for a magical 8 years,” read the card. It was signed, “Love, Eva, Marcia, Felicity and Vanessa.”
Teri’s name was rightfully omitted from the greeting, says the insider.
“The girls don’t get along with Teri so they organized this and left her out,” said the source.

It’s not the first time the female misunderstanding on set has leaked out into the public. Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry testified during Nicollette Sheridan’s court case that the actress once mentioned to him that Hatcher was the “meanest woman in the world.”

The other source stated the actress is in love with herself, so we found a quote that supports his statement (about a campaign with Clairol, Nice and Easy): “In all my career, in my ups and downs, I’ve never had a beauty campaign. This was meaningful that at almost 41 years old, I could be getting my first beauty campaign. It made me feel really great.”

That was nice of her to give the cast those gifts.
