Why we like her?

The consummate Latin beauty, Eva Longoria is not afraid to strut her stuff, whether the cameras are rolling or not. Her role as a sexpot on prime-time TV and her now frequent public appearances have left us so tantalized that we're longing for more.

Why is she famous?

After relatively brief appearances on The Young and the Restless and L.A. Dragnet (the modern remake of the classic drama), Eva scored big as sexy Gabrielle Solis on ABC's Desperate Housewives. The prime-time soap opera-style series rocketed to the top of the ratings, and those who had never seen Eva before began taking notice. A "hot new face" according to USA Today, Variety and TV Guide, Longoria is one of the finest women to have made it to the top in 2004.
