Huge 90s, noughties TV star stuns in rare red carpet outing at 60
One of the biggest TV stars of the 90s and noughties has made a surprise appearance on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.
Teri Hatcher, 60, walked the red carpet for the premiere of historical romantic drama The History of Sound, starring Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor.
Hatcher looked incredible in a low-cut emerald gown, complete with a thigh-high split.
Hatcher, once one of TV's most high-profile (and highly-paid) actresses, has kept more of a low profile in recent years, with just a handful of acting credits across the past five years.
While she's been working as an actor for 40 years now, since landing her first on-screen role as a recurring character on The Love Boat, it wasn't until almost a decade into her career that Hatcher landed her first 'big break.'
In 1993 she was cast as Lois Lane in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, a huge hit thanks to her romantic chemistry with co-star Dean Cain.
That show lasted for four seasons, but Hatcher's TV fame reached new levels in 2004 when she was cast in the smash hit soap opera Desperate Housewives.
Hatcher played Susan Delfino across all eight seasons of the show, which was plagued by rumours of infighting amid its core cast.
E! reported at the time the tension started after Hatcher won a Golden Globe in 2005.
'You could trace the tension back to then,' E! columnist Ted Casablanca said at the time.
'It was a huge coup for her. Teri was riding a wave that year, and she was sort of riding it on top of everybody else.'
In early seasons, Hatcher's salary for the show was reported to be $US70,000 an episode – but by later years, she'd negotiated a salary of $US400,000 an episode. That $US9 million-a-season paycheque made her one of the highest paid actors on television.
After the finale aired, and amid feverish speculation about a feud between the cast members, Hatcher said to TV Guide: 'I will never disclose the true and complicated journey of us all, but I wish everyone on the show well.'
While Hatcher hasn't been seen on screen as much in recent years, she scoffed at a bizarre 2018 tabloid report that she was 'broke' and living out of a van.
'On the cover yesterday (Star magazine has) an article that says exactly that — it's totally absurd — that I am broke and homeless and living out of my van,' said Hatcher, who has an estimated net worth of $US50 million.
'It's categorically false. I am not broke. I have done very well investing my money. I am not homeless and I am not living out of my van.'

Vincenzo and Elaine's 50-year love story rooted in music and devotion
"Real love comes over time. It comes from all the things you share throughout your life." In 1971, Vincenzo Pandolfi was at a restaurant in Italy when a casual suggestion from his dad changed the path of his life. "I was there with my father and [he] said, 'Go and talk to the English girl behind you. She can't read the menu,'" Vincenzo recalled. "She looked absolutely gorgeous, but turned out to be from Australia. "She was a bit taken aback — I had very long black hair — so I helped her with the menu. "Then she said, 'I'll buy you a beer.'" A chance meeting brought the pair together. / It sparked a decades-long love story. That 'girl' was a woman named Elaine and, as it would turn out, the love of Vincenzo's life. The pair hit it off immediately, particularly over their shared love of music. "Elaine was a pianist, I played keyboards, so we both had that in common," he told ABC iview's The Piano. Three years later, in September 1974, Elaine and Vincenzo married. A year later, they made their way back to Australia by ship, where they spent decades building a life and family — all with a piano and music at the heart.

"As a primary carer, when someone you love is afflicted with a life-changing event, it's devastating," Vincenzo said. "Because of the illness [there] is that [feeling], you know, that you have something special that you might lose soon. "You do the best you can to be strong for her sake and to be the best you can and … to make sure that what's left of her life, it's a good life." After Elaine's stroke, Vincenzo became her primary carer. ( Supplied ) Elaine was able to receive care at home and Vincenzo made sure one of the constants in their shared life — music — was with her every day. "Music is an integral part of our relationship," he said. "The piano is downstairs in our living room, and Elaine is upstairs in the bed and she can hear the piano. "I hope that when I play it, it brings her joy." The piano played an ongoing role in Elaine's life. ( Supplied ) Elaine, like Vincenzo, was an avid piano player.

( Supplied ) The 'light of my life' Vincenzo was one of a small group of people chosen to perform on ABC iview's new series The Piano, while legendary pianists Harry Connick Junior and Andrea Lam watched on. Before performing, Vincenzo gave a heartbreaking update: Elaine had died a few weeks earlier, at the beginning of September. "We took [Elaine] into hospital at the beginning of the month … the last six nights we spent in the room with her holding her hand while she passed because we didn't want her to die alone," Vincenzo said. Vincenzo said Elaine would want him to keep playing piano and performing. ( Supplied ) "Elaine was one in a, not in a million, but 100 million. "She could sell ice to the Eskimos, even as ice was melting," he joked. Vincenzo dedicated his performance to Elaine. "She was the light of my life," he said. "All the moments that you spent together that are special, the lives you share together, the memories that you share together, contributes to forming a, wonderful, wonderful bond. "She really did make me a better person." Vincenzo and Elaine spent decades in love ( Supplied ) Vincenzo and Elaine had a special bond. (Supplied) After his first performance, Vincenzo was hand-picked by Connick Junior and Lam to play at a special concert for The Piano's finale. Even though he and his family were awash with grief, Vincenzo shared that the opportunity was a welcome distraction. "It's tough, but Elaine will want me to keep going," he said. "Fortunately, you know, music has helped me. Participating in this has helped me, 'cause it's given me something to focus on. "[The concert is] giving me more incentive to keep playing and … I wish she had been here with me to be able to witness it." On the night of the concert, with his children sitting in the crowd and his fellow performers cheering him on, Vincenzo performed as a montage of he and Elaine's life played behind him. "I'm just so proud of Dad," his daughter Cassandra said after the performance. "That was amazing, and Mum would've been really proud. She'd be so happy." An emotional Vincenzo said he "couldn't think of a better tribute" to his partner in life. "I think Elaine was sitting right next to me." Vincenzo described Elaine as "the light of my life".
