So she participated in a cheating scam because some other actresses were prettier than her?
Felicity Huffman Didn't Feel as Pretty as Her Desperate Housewives Costars, Says Creator Marc Cherry
The showrunner, 57, also recalled one particular memory shortly after the long-running ABC drama was picked up when he said Huffman did not feel as beautiful as her
Desperate Housewives costars at a press event.
“When our show was picked up, we flew the cast to a press event in NY. Felicity and her cast members (Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross, and Nicollette Sheridan) were swarmed by photographers,” he wrote in the letter obtained by PEOPLE. “Every woman was dolled up to the nines and for the first time, Felicity started to feel insecure about her appearance.”
Cherry went on to explain that “people were commenting on how extraordinarily beautiful the cast was,” but Huffman was the only actress who had not previously modeled or played a “sexy vamp” before landing the role on the series.
“After the event feeling self-conscious, Felicity called her husband character actor
William H. Macy and said to him somewhat tearfully, ‘I feel like the ugliest one in the room,'” he wrote in the letter.
“Bill’s response? ‘I always feel like I’m the ugliest one in the room,'” Cherry continued. “He made Felicity laugh and see the ridiculousness of her insecurity. She told me, ‘That’s the last time I ever worried about comparing myself to my costars.'”
If Huffman's daughters do have a learning disabilities (one is described as having serious learning disabilities
Felicity Huffman Describes Her ‘Deep’ Shame for College Admissions Scandal in Letter to Judge ) as is being claimed and Felicity felt that test accommodations weren't fair and that colleges should take learning disabilities into account in admissions more, then she should have fought that fight, it wouldn't just have benefited her and her daughters though it could have benefited a lot of people. We've seen how colleges bend admission rules for students who've been involved in activism like Parkland survivors, Huffmans children could have written their tickets to any college if they had helped her Mum campaign for better testing conditions for people with learning disabilities. Except for I don't believe that they have disabilities (Huffman used the plural in her letter for both) or if they do they're not that limiting, we would have heard from classmates or teachers about the struggle, there would have been special test accommodations all throughout school. Even if they have "diagnoses" I won't buy it unless its from a Dr who hasn't been selected by Huffman.
The irony in all this is that Teri Hatcher is a proud community college graduate and campaigns for supporting community colleges
Also she seems to have raised her daughter right
Teri Hatcher's daughter has grown up to be gorgeous
"Teenagers aren't generally thought of as a selfless group. In fact, they're pretty infamous for being self-centered and, according to researchers, they're actually "hard-wired" to be that way. Now you know. Emerson Tenney, however, was an exception. Soon after her 17th birthday, Emerson, with her mom, began scouting out colleges. Emerson recognized that attending college was a privilege not afforded to all and she knew she wanted to provide resources to underprivileged students so they too might earn a degree.
"The older she gets, now things are beginning to come more and more from her," Hatcher told People at the time. "This idea of wanting to really help education locally in our community really came from her." And so, while Emerson was busy applying for colleges, she was also working hard to help others do the same. At just 17, she started raising money for the charity Fulfillment Fund by writing a blog, Reachandsafe.com, bringing awareness to the cause. Hatcher certainly did as she set out to do: instilling "compassion and generosity" in her daughter."
