Eva Jacqueline Longoria was born in Corpus
Christi, Texas, on 15th March 1975, where she grew up and studied. The youngest
of 4 daughters got her Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology at Texas A&M,
Kingsville, and soon after entered a talent contest that took her to LA. On the
same day she was signed by an agent she had four auditions and since then everything
has developed pretty fast for Eva.
She’s known in daytime television for
her soap-opera roles, specially her latest role as Isabella on The Young and the
Restless that won her an ALMA Award, and guest appearances at a wide variety of
shows like General Hospital, The Bold and the Beautiful and Beverly Hills 90210.
She has also had starting roles on movies, the latest include Carlita’s Secret
(2004) and Señorita Justice (2003), which she found particularly interesting for
her role as a Latina detective who used both her brain and sexiness. Other highlights
should include hosting The Talent Agency (2003), and the fact she’s getting behind
the scenes as producer in the critically lauded comedy-variety show Hot Tamales
Lives: Spicy, Hot and Hilarious. Plus she has debuted on theater too in What the
Rabbi Saw.
Eva was the first actress cast for the current #1 primetime
show, “Desperate Housewives”, as Gabrielle Solis. She was first attracted to the
show by its writing, now 25 million-plus viewers are attracted to it as well.
This has earned Eva the title of a rising star, being voted between the top faces
to watch on Fall 2004 by TV Guide, Variety and USA Today. Plus being in the spotlight,
she quickly got to People en Español’s "25 Most Beautiful People". Now she’s turning
into a sex-symbol, mostly recently being included in Maxim Hot 100 for 2004 and
2005 Calendar; and a fashion icon who is predicted to become bigger than Jennifer
Lopez.
We can only see a bright future for this so talented and focus
woman who don't regret anything she does, and believes the keys to success are
determination and discipline.
