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.
Born in Montana to cattle ranchers, she moved to Texas for high school. Her mother was extremely critical of her, while her father was aloof and spoke in obtuse nature metaphors.
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 (she pronounces "buenos dias" as "buenos DIE-as"). 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.
Peggy once ran for the school board, along with Minh Souphanousinphone and Nancy Gribble to save the after-school program . However, as the episode continued, Peggy, Minh, and Nancy began to turn on each other to win. In the end, they all lost to a Christian zealot, who plans to get rid of biology, geometry, the after-school program, and all "offensive" encyclopedias.
After not having seen her parents for years, Peggy went to Montana at the request of her mother to see her childhood home one last time. To save the ranch, Peggy looked for a very old law that was still on the books.
