An interview with the actress about her eight years working at Universal Studios, where the Wisteria Lane set is located.
We’ve had some time to adjust to the news that Desperate Housewives is coming to an end. In the fall, Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman helped us cope with the departure of Wisteria Lane from the nearby Universal Studios. The Desperate Housewives met the Television Critics Association for the last time this week, giving us a chance to catch up with other Housewives.
Eva Longoria became a star after the show introduced her as Gabby. Her rocky relationship with Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Chivera) has stood the test of eight seasons. As she says goodbye to Wisteria Lane, both the fake neighborhood on the studio lot and the real neighborhood of Universal Studios, she shared a few last thoughts with the press. Desperate Housewives airs Sunday nights on ABC.
Q: What will you miss the most about the Universal Studios lot where Wisteria Lane has been all these years?
EVA LONGORIA: Oh my gosh, well I know I’m going to miss the family that we’ve created, not only here in the cast but our crew. We’ve had the same crew for eight years, the camera guys, boom guys, craft services, grips and we’ve been through so many journeys together, marriage and babies and cancer and divorce. So much so to miss those faces you see, that’s probably what I’m going to miss.
Q: Have you had any favorite local spots outside the lot you’d go before or after work?
LONGORIA: No, because I go to work and go home.
Q: What’s been your favorite Gabby moment over the years?
LONGORIA: My favorite moments are still in the pilot, mowing the lawn. I did love slapping the nun in season two or three. There are so many and I’ve been naming so many today but just the memories of the cast. Most of my favorite memories about the show have to do with in my trailer, sitting with Marcia or sitting with Felicity and talking about life or going through problems, something like that.
Small update before bed, here’s a new DH promotional pictures, this one is a group photo, all the ladies looks gorgeous! And some 8×12 – What’s the Good of Being Good stills.
Eva Longoria didn’t fare well on the breakup diet.
In the January issue of Health, the 36-year-old Desperate Housewives star actress says the stress of her split with Tony Parker resulted in unwanted weight loss.
“I remember after my divorce, I was so thin and everyone kept saying how great I looked. It was probably the most unhealthy place I’ve ever been. So it was funny what people would see as ‘healthy,’” Longoria says. “In my worst time, people were saying I’ve never looked better. [But now] I have a great diet and exercise routine.”
“I like weight training and abs. I hate the elliptical,” she tells Health. “I despise cardio. I just can’t do it. So I try to do my cardio within the workout.”
The self-proclaimed “hopeless optimist” says it didn’t take long to get over Parker, 29.
“It’s so funny, because I don’t get depressed,” says the star (currently dating Eduardo Cruz). “Even after my divorce, everybody was like, ‘Wow, you bounced back so quick.’ I was like, ‘I am not letting this take over. Something great is around the corner — I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen.’”
