Teri Hatcher Plans Celebration for Her 60th Birthday

Teri Hatcher is gearing up to embrace her 60th birthday in a memorable way, and it’s not going unnoticed. The actress, known for her iconic roles, will ring in this significant milestone alongside the premiere of her latest film, “How to Fall in Love by Christmas,” which drops on December 8—a date that coincides with her big day.

In an exclusive chat, Hatcher expressed her excitement about the unique timing of her movie release. “Throughout my career, I’ve never had a film debut on my birthday,” she remarked during the It’s a Wonderful Lifetime Event. This year, however, seems different, as she feels a strong urge to mark the occasion differently, especially after reflecting on her daughter’s recent milestone of turning 27. “That age feels substantial to me, and I think 60 carries that same weight,” she shared.

Previously, the actress mentioned that her birthdays typically pass without much fanfare. “I tend to keep things low-key,” she admitted. But this year, she is breaking tradition by planning a special gathering with a close-knit group of friends. “I have a wonderful circle of 20 friends who are committed to making this birthday special. I feel truly honored by their efforts.”

In “How to Fall in Love by Christmas,” Hatcher plays Nora, a CEO navigating her professional life while exploring romantic possibilities. The film dives into themes of vulnerability and connection, as Nora finds herself propelled out of her comfort zone during the holiday season. Hatcher articulated the film’s essence, noting how it challenges her character to confront her emotional barriers.

As a fan of holiday films herself, Hatcher shared her favorite classics, including “Elf,” “The Holiday,” and “Love Actually.” She expressed her belief in the magic that Christmas movies bring to viewers’ festive experiences.

On the dating front, Hatcher has recently stepped back from online dating, having had a less-than-stellar experience with Hinge. “I faced some challenges with it,” she confessed. Yet, the actress remains optimistic and committed to finding meaningful stories that resonate with women, particularly those navigating the complexities of aging.

Hatcher emphasized her desire for roles that foster understanding and inspiration among women, while also adding a dose of humor. “I think we all crave stories that make us feel seen and connected,” she concluded.

Don’t miss the premiere of “How to Fall in Love by Christmas” on Lifetime, Sunday, December 8, at 8 p.m. ET, as Hatcher takes viewers on a journey filled with love and holiday spirit.
