She also appeared in Showtime’s 2021 comedy special, “Even More Funny Women of a Certain Age,” which marked her stand-up comedy debut. Hatcher played the villainous Rhea in CW’s “Supergirl.” Hatcher’s career on the small screen spans some of the most iconic shows in television history, including “Seinfeld,” “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” “Frasier,” “MacGyver,” “Two and a Half Men” and “Smallville.” Her comedic expertise was noted when she hosted “Saturday Night Live” in 1995, landing at least two of her sketches in the “Best of SNL” highlights series.

Hatcher’s first feature film role in Christopher Guest’s “The Big Picture” remains one of her career highlights, along with movie roles in “Soapdish,” “Spy Kids,” “Tomorrow Never Dies” and voicing all three mothers in Henry Selick’s Oscar-nominated animated film, “Coraline,” as well as voicing the character of Dottie in Disney’s “Planes” franchise.
