Eva Longoria

Is the only one among her parents' children to have dark skin, dark eyes and dark hair. Her three sisters all have fair hair, blue eyes and lighter skin color. Eva thought for a long time that she was adopted because of her features.

[on how she got the role as Gabrielle Solis on Mujeres desesperadas (2004)] As soon as I read the script, I knew it was pretty special. The creator of the show asked what I thought of the writing as a whole. I told him I had no idea because I'd only read my part. He laughed and told me I'd got the job. He thought my answer was completely Gabrielle.
