Teri Hatcher is busy hatching alternative career plans in case she’s ever considered too old to be an actress. The ‘Desperate Housewives’ star has just sold a new TV show to a US network and is planning to grow old gracefully “behind the camera”. Teri says of her new series, “It’s a comedy and it may never make it to air but it’s exciting to be behind the camera. I’m writing a book too! I’m trying to build a business that will allow me not to be in front of the camera, because, you know, I’m old!” The 42-year-old, who plays Susan oayer on the hit US TV show, also admits she is struggling to strike a balance between work, love and caring for her eight-year-old daughter Emerson Rose. She reveals, “I’ll work a 14-hour day, four days in a row and feel like I’ve been run over. But I don’t call it tired, I call it, ‘Nothing is right, and I’m no good at my job and I’m horrible and no one will ever love me.’ This is a serial problem for mothers. We’re trying to be everything all the time. The best mom, the best worker, the best wife or the best dater. And it’s too much.” [8 March 2007]
