Eva Jacqueline Longoria was born on March 15, 1975.
She is an American actress and model. Longoria was
born in Corpus Christi, Texas, to a Mexican American
family.
Her rise to fame began when she starred as psychotic
Isabella Brana Williams on The Young and the
Restless from 2001 to 2003. After leaving Y&R, she
was seen on the now-canceled L.A. Dragnet, after
which she landed the role of
model-unhappily-married-to-money Gabrielle Solis on
the popular drama Desperate Housewives in 2004.
Longoria was one of People en Español’s "Most
Beautiful People" for 2003, and was #1 in Maxim
Magazine's hottest female stars of 2005.
Longoria caused a stir at the 2005 MTV Video Music
Awards in Miami when she appeared in a one-piece
bathing suit to introduce Mariah Carey's
performance, and joked that she “wasn’t going to let
a little hurricane keep me from wearing a bathing
suit.” At the 2005 Emmy Awards, where she had been
passed over for nomination, she satirized Housewives
internal drama by being interviewed by host Ellen
DeGeneres from her supposedly-relegated-to worst
seats in the house.
Longoria was nominated in 2005 for a Golden Globe
for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television
Series - Musical or Comedy, along with her Desperate
Housewives costars Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman,
and Teri Hatcher. The cast won the 2005 Screen
Actors Guild Award for Best Television Ensemble -
Comedy.
