EVA LONGORIA
BIOGRAPHY
Eva Jacqueline Longoria (born
March 15, 1975 in Corpus Christi, Texas) is a Mexican-American actress
and model.
Longoria was teased about
being ugly when she was a teenager. 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 is a former Miss
Corpus Christi, was one of People en Español’s “25 Most Beautiful People”
for 2003, and was #1 in Maxim Magazine's hottest female stars of 2005.
Longoria was married to
General Hospital star Tyler Christopher from 2002 to 2004, and as such,
was also credited as Eva Longoria Christopher. Longoria has been romantically
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 frontman
of Irish band Centipede on the Roof, Rory Conroy.
Longoria spoke candidly about
her affection for vibrators in an interview that Rolling Stone magazine
published December 15 2004. As a result readers started sending sextoys
to Longoria. Her employer ABC asked Longoria to stop mentioning the word
vibrator in interviews.
Longoria caused a stir at
the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards when she appeared barely dressed to introduce
Mariah Carey's equally head-turning performance.
Longoria was recently licked
by Mötley Crüe drummer, Tommy Lee, when she appeared on Conan O' Brien.
