Peggy Hill (maiden name: Platter) is the wife of Hank Hill in the television series King of the Hill. She is a substitute Spanish teacher at Tom Landry Middle School. She is extremely self-conscious about her unusually large feet. In one episode she has to drive to Lubbock (which it seemed was a long way from Arlen) to buy a new pair of shoes, but in another she just went to a specialty store nearby. In that episode she is approached by a woman who gives her the card of a man who will make her feel "secure" about her huge feet. It turns out he was a fetish producer displaying her feet on the internet.In one episode she wins a fight against Luanne Platter's mother. She is very intelligent and unseated Cissy Cobb as the Boggle champion of Texas. Even so, one is reminded that she is a rather simple person through her overestimation of her Spanish speaking ability. Proud and egocentric, in later episodes she tends to come off as arrogant and a know-it-all, and quite often has to be taken down a peg (no pun intended). Although she once became extremely jealous that Hank kissed another girl--from which he caught mono--in high school before they were married, she was forced to confess in a later episode to have lost her virginity to a gay male friend. She also was the last on the block--except for Dale Gribble--to realize Joseph's true parentage... and would have told him, but for a last-minute change of heart upon seeing Dale and the boy interact and realizing that sperm may make a man a father, but a heart makes him a daddy.
Her song lyrics were "stolen" by country singer Randy Travis, though Mr. Travis (who was a guest star on one episode) claims to have written them independently.
