Eva Jacqueline Longoria
By Anneli
Born Eva Jacqueline Longoria on March 15, 1975 in Corpus Christi, Texas, the future star of Desperate Housewives grew up on her parents' ranch as the youngest of four girls.
Naturally beautiful, with intelligence to match, Longoria later attended Texas A&M University in Kingsville.
Upon graduating, she entered and won the Miss Corpus Christi USA contest. This soon led to an acting career in Los Angeles where - following a brief stint at stage acting - she joined the cast of the TV soap opera hit, The young and the Restless playing Isabella Bran Williams.
During her two years on the show, Longoria gained a cult following among the show's many fans as well as an Alma award for Outstanding Actress in a Daytime Drama.
Longoria's bid for movie stardom in 2003 saw her appearing beside James Cahill in the forgettable Snitch’s, followed by her breakthrough performance on the small screen as Gabrielle Solis in the TV mega-hit, Desperate Housewives the following year.
She has since become a very popular 'Web Caleb' - with plenty of attention paid to the star by a cyber following made up of mostly male fans.
Her two-year marriage to actor Tyler Christopher ended in divorce in 2005.
After subsequently dating 22-year old San Antonio Spurs basketball star player Tony Parker for over a year, Longoria suddenly announced her engagement in late November 2006.
Longoria and Parker are to wed in France in the summer of 2007. The Desperate Housewives star and her basketball star fiancé are reportedly exchanging wedding vows at the lavish Chateau de Chantilly in Parker's native France.
The wedding date has been set as the auspicious July 7, 2007, or 07-07-07, with a star-studded wedding shower already having taken place in April, attended by all of her Desperate Housewives co-stars.
Professionally, Longoria is reportedly planning not to return to Desperate Housewives after this season. Currently, she is working on a return to the big screen opposite co-star Christian Bale on a low-budget Indies feature, Harsh Times, released to mixed reviews in 2006. Other future film projects include work on the animated feature, Food Fight! as the voice of Lady X, as well as a starring role in the film comedy How I Met My Boyfriend's Dead Fiancée.
