CYNTHIA GEARY as TERESA

Cynthia Geary was nominated twice for an Emmy for her role as Shelly Tambo in Northern Exposure in which she starred for five seasons as the young wife of John Cullum's Holling Vinocoeur. She made her theatrical film debut opposite Luke Perry in John Avildsen's Eight Seconds.

A native of Jackson, Miss., she brought her true Southern charm to her role in Smoke Signals as Cathy the Olympic gymnast, who meets our heroes Victor Joseph and Thomas Builds-The-Fire on a bus to Phoenix. She first starred for producer Larry Estes in the Showtime science-fiction movie When Time Expires, opposite Richard Grieco and Mark Hamill.
