The spicy Latina Eva Jacqueline Longoria was born in Corpus Christi, Texas on March 15, 1975. Although she is Hollywood royalty now, her life was not always this way. She was raised in a farm with her parent and three older sisters and had very little money growing up. She has even mentioned in an interview that she was “the ugly duckling” of the siblings. Things sure did turn around once she crashed into fame!
Nothing close to an “ugly duckling”, Eva has been named #1 on Maxim’s Hottest Female Stars and as one of People en Español’s “Most Beautiful People” in 2003. The most prominent role for Longoria has been as Gabrielle Solis on Desperate Housewives. This was what kicked her career into high gear and it’s been going strong ever since. In 2007, she tied the knot with Spurs point guard Tony Parker in Paris, France. When Young Hollywood had the chance to speak with Eva and Tony at the launch party for his cover of EA Sports NBA Live 09, we could tell the honeymoon is no where close to being over!
