Longoria was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, to Mexican-American Catholic parents, Enrique Longoria Jr. (born in Rachal, Brooks County, Texas) and Ella Eva Mireles (married in Falfurrias, Brooks County, Texas). She has three older sisters: Elizabeth Judina, Emily Jeannette, and Esmeralda Josephina. The family lived and worked on farmland that had been handed down to them from past generations, but they often had very little money; Enrique and Ella struggled for many years to give their children a decent upbringing. Eva showed viewers an introspect into the hardship she faced in her formative years growing up poor on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2006; she took cameras on location to the family farm, and showed how spartan they were still living. Longoria admitted that things looked slightly better for them financially, only when she made it in show business. Longoria landed her first television role in 2000, guest-starring in an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210. Another guest appearance in General Hospital the same year brought her big break on the popular American soap opera The Young and the Restless, in which she played psychotic Isabella Braña Williams from 2001 to 2003. People en Español listed her among its "Most Beautiful People" for 2003. After leaving The Young and the Restless, she was seen on the now-cancelled Dick Wolf revival of Dragnet. Although it lasted only two seasons, the show gave Longoria another leading star credit to her name. Following Dragnet, she starred in two ill-fated productions - Señorita Justice, a poorly received direct-to-video film, and a television film titled The Dead Will Tell. In 2004, Longoria landed a role that elevated her to the A-List. She starred as adulteress Gabrielle Solis in the worldwide break-out ABC hit Desperate Housewives. As the show became an overnight sensation, Longoria's career was well and truly launched. But she has never considered her career to have jumped off so suddenly, "I think it’s funny when people say I’m an overnight sensation, because I’ve been working at it for 10 years."[3] Shortly after her debut on Desperate Housewives, Longoria starred in a poorly received direct-to-video film titled Carlita's Secret, for which she was also co-producer. In 2005, she was rewarded for her performance as Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives when she was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy along with her co-stars. Even though neither Longoria nor any of the rest of the cast won, she was awarded the prestigious ALMA AWARD and named entertainer of the year. She also starred opposite Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland in the 2006 thriller The Sentinel, which was her first major role in a theatrical movie (both Douglas and Sutherland noted that much to their surprise Eva whipped both of them in gun practice). Longoria continues to be included in lists of Hollywood's Most Beautiful and was listed #1 in Maxim's Hottest Female Stars of 2005 and 2006, becoming the first woman to top the list in two consecutive years. In her most recently released film, Harsh Times, she plays the character Sylvia and co-stars with actors Freddy Rodriguez and Christian Bale.

• December 11, 2009: Creative ELP: I like Eva Longoria Parker a lot more since I read about the charity work that she was doing in her hometown with the special education classes in the school that she used to attend. I also like her when she's got a bit more meat on her bones than...
• June 11, 2009: EvaLong is Tied Up: Wow... You know, I was never fully convinced that this chick was all that hot. She's got bitch face. Hearing that she thinks she was excluded from roles because she was "too pretty" also makes me laugh. But from the charity shots I had of her some...

• February 26, 2009: Eva's Gassy Ass: I've never been all that big of a fan of Eva Longoria (sorry to all of those out there who were hoping it was Mendes, I kinda did too). However, I will cop to the fact that I didn't realize that she had this nice of an ass. She looks too petite...
• January 9, 2009: Critics Choice Hotties: The hotties were out in full force last night for the 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards. Between this and the People's Choice Awards, I think it's safe for us to say that we are officially in awards season. The Golden Globes are coming up and...

• January 2, 2009: ScreenCaps - The Heartbreak Kid: The Heartbreak Kid There aren't many movies that can win me over with just one line of dialogue. "Fuck me like a black guy!" did exactly that while watching this film. I think I laughed at least once a day for three weeks afterward....
• September 16, 2008: Hot or Not: Eva Longoria: Last week, I asked the rhetorical question of whether or not Diane Lane was hot. Why'd I ask? Because sometimes things are so good, we take them for granted and need to reinstate their factuality (not a word, but I...
