Eva Longoria Biography

Besides being named #1 on Maxim magazine’s Hot 100 of 2005 list, a star on the ABC drama “Desperate Housewives” and a L’Oreal spokesmodel, you with think Eva Longoria might be a little “full of herself”. In reality, she is the same very well-grounded individual she was back on her family’s ranch in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Born on March 15, 1975, Eva Longoria was the youngest of four girls in her family. She will tell you that everything came to her late in life. Because her sisters all have fair skin and blue eyes, she considered herself the “ugly duckling” of the family. This misguided thought haunted her into her teens until she finally blossomed into a beautiful and vivacious young woman. She graduated from the University of Texas A&M in Kingsville with a B.S. in Kinesiology (the study of anatomy, physiology and mechanics of body movement in humans). After graduating college she entered a beauty contest, becoming Miss Corpus Christi, which brought her to Los Angeles, CA.

After being spotted and signed by a Los Angeles talent agent, Eva began her assent to stardom with auditions and bit parts in many mostly forgettable roles until she landed the coveted role of Isabella Williams on the very popular CBS daytime drama “The Young and The Restless”. After stint on “Y&R”, Eva landed the role of Gabrielle Solis on the #1 rated show, ABC’s “Desperate Housewives”.

Although Eva is quite busy with her exciting and thriving acting career, she still has time to use her stardom in a productive manner for several charities. Two organizations that are very dear to her are the “Padres Contra el Cancer” and the “Dolores Huerta Foundation”. Padres Contra el Cancer is a small non-profit organization which seeks to improve the quality of life for Latino children with cancer and their families. The Dolores Huerta Foundation is an advocate for social justice issues concerning women, youth, farm workers, immigrants and poor communities.

Currently, Ms. Longoria has just completed filming the movie “Harsh Times” with actor Christian Bale and has started filming “The Sentinel” with Michael Douglas. “Harsh Times” is an Independent film set in South Los Angeles and chronicles the lives of two young men and the violence that comes between them. “The Sentinel” also stars Kiefer Sutherland and Kim Basinger is about a Secret Service Agent (Longoria) uncovering a plot to assassinate the President.

The one thing that most people agree on after meeting Eva Longoria is she hasn’t lost her humanity. She is a genuine individual who hasn’t let her stardom make her a snob. She often buys lavish gifts for her friends and freely expresses her humility when she does something that is taken the wrong way. An example of this is when she was photographed wearing a t-shirt saying “I’ll have your baby, Brad” that one of her ‘friends’ gave her, she wrote a letter of apology to Jennifer Aniston telling her how ashamed she was for wearing it.

What does all this mean? Eva Longoria is a smart business woman who knows how to use her celebrity to help others and who also makes mistakes in judgment along the way. Compared to other stars and their problems, Eva is an angel even when she says of does something she shouldn’t. It is far better to make mistakes with your words or expressions rather than with drugs, sex or criminal behavior. Hopefully Eva will be around a long time and never loses her humility.
