Eva Longoria
This petite (5' 2") woman was named #1 in Maxim's Hot 100 list (2005). Eva is a self confessed 'late bloomer' and an 'Ugly Ducking'! Not just beautiful, but spunky
and talented, Eva has taken the world of TV by storm with her portrayal of the sultry, sexy Gabrielle Solis played to perfection, in the massive hit "Desperate Housewives."
There is no stopping this lady, anymore and a bright future beckons her!
Born to Catholic parents on March 15, 1975, Eva is the youngest of 4 sisters. Eva has a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology from A&M University-Kingsville Texas.
Teased for being ugly as a teenager, Eva entered a talent hunt contest soon after college. This gave Eva the opportunity to spread her wings in LA. Eva's acting career
took off soon after, when she was signed by an agent.
Hollywood Calling
Eva's rise to fame was jumpstarted by her role as the psychotic Isabella Brana Williams on 'The Young and the Restless' TV series, from 2001 to 2003. Before
'The Young and the Restless,' Eva played small roles in serials such as 'The Bold and The Beautiful,' 'General Hospital' and 'Beverly Hills, 90210.' After leaving
'The Young and the Restless,' she landed the role of Gabrielle Solis, a 'model-unhappily-married-to-money,' on the popular drama "Desperate Housewives."
Longoria caused a stir at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards when she arrived barely dressed to introduce Mariah Carey's equally head-turning performance. In the same year, Eva
was the only female cast from "Desperate Housewives" who did not win a nomination. Ellen DeGeneres invited Eva on her show 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' to discuss her feeling
about not being nominated.
Eva Longoria was married to her General Hospital co-star Christopher Tyler from 2002-2004. She has also been linked to Screen Actors Guild president Sid Laura Horowitz, successful
writer Milan Gracanin, ex-NSYNC member JC Chasez, basketball star Tony Parker of the NBA's San Antonio Spurs, and more recently with front man of Irish band Centipede on the
Roof, Rory Conroy.
Eva has also starred with Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland in the movie "The Sentinel" where she plays the role of a Secret Service Agent. Her prowess at handling her service
weapon put both her men co-stars to shame!
