Eva Longoria is one of Hollywood’s brightest stars and she’s a triple threat. The 46-year-old Texas native has taken over Tinseltown as an actress, producer and director. Best known for her work as Gabrielle Solis on the hit ABC drama Desperate Housewives, Eva served as executive producer for the Lifetime series Devious Maids and directed episodes as well.

While she’s not focusing on her career, Eva spends much of her time on charitable causes. She was named Philanthropist of the Year in 2009 by The Hollywood Reporter for “her commitment to Latino causes and giving back to the community.” Family is just as important to Eva, as she has been a married to Jose Antonio Baston since 2016.
