She is one of the most iconic actresses in cinema and the world of television. On October 3, 2004, French viewers discovered a new American series, called Desperate Housewives. Among the famous actresses who play one of the main roles, there is Eva Longoria. The latter plays the role of Gabrielle Solis. Venal, sometimes lazy but touching, the actress will become a superstar.
Twenty years later, Santiago’s mother is once again starring in a series, entitled The Land of Women, broadcast on Apple TV+. In the synopsis, we can discover the role of the actress who plays Gala, an American woman who will suddenly discover her husband’s secrets. The latter is then at the origin of financial embezzlement and men are looking for him. Gala will thus flee with her mother and her daughter. A moving fiction far removed from his very first role on TV.
Eva Longoria back in the fiction of her debut?
For our colleagues at Tele-LeisureEva Longoria returned to her first role in… The Young and the Restless. And apparently, the actress has very intense memories of this adventure. “I loved that period, I enjoyed it a lot, even though it was a lot of work”she explains. “Soaps teach you a great work ethic. Even today, my mother asks me when I’m going back. But it won’t happen!”.
It was in 2003 that Eva Longoria left fiction. Moreover, the 48-year-old actress was severely tackled by Eric Braeden aka Victor Newman, the great actor from The Young and the Restless. “You just weren’t good enough to survive the pressures of this medium! You were very lucky to participate in the series Desperate Housewives! You made a series in 8-12 days, with mediocre but salacious dialogues! (…) From De Niro to many others, many started in these series that you denigrate! This shows a total lack of class! he let go.
Actress heavily criticized by “The Young and the Restless” actor
Very harsh words against Eva Longoria. But the actress doesn’t care about the actor’s criticism. She prefers to focus on her next projects but also on her family life.
