Eva Longoria started out acting on soap operas like General Hospital and The Young and the Restless, but quickly skyrocketed to celebrity status as Gabrielle Solis on the quirky, critically acclaimed television drama, Desperate Housewives. In 2005, she was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series. Eva also turned her celebrity into a lucrative modeling career that same year, becoming the 2005 face of L’Oreal. In addition to her acting success, Eva has topped magazine lists at People, FHM and Maxim for her sex appeal and stunning beauty.
In 2006, Eva Longoria continued her success on Desperate Housewives. During hiatus, however, she took a break to tackle the big screen in The Sentinel, costarring Michael Douglas, Kiefer Sutherland and Kim Basinger. Although the film was not a monetary success, Eva was certainly cast in good company. On the personal front, Eva also found time to get engaged to NBA player Tony Parker. Eva first appeared on our Top 99 list at No. 72 in 2005, and in 2006, she skyrocketed up to No. 10. She has since stepped down to No. 17, but her determination and versatility for acting, modeling and other projects will definitely keep her relevant for ranking next year.
Aside from her work on the third season of Desperate Housewives, Eva already has two film productions set for release in 2007. She will lend her voice to the animated feature Foodfight! alongside Charlie Sheen, Hilary Duff and other talents. Eva will also take a small role in How I Met My Boyfriend’s Dead Fiancée, starring Jason Biggs. In marital news, Eva and her fiancé Tony Parker will marry in the summer of 2007 in Paris, France, but no specific date has been issued.
