- Self-described “Texican” and award-winning actor Eva Longoria had her breakthrough in the role of Gabrielle Solis in the series Desperate Housewives, becoming the first pivotal and primetime Latina character in U.S. television. Longoria is a fixture on numerous “most beautiful” lists and a fashion icon. Her work beneath and beyond the national spotlight—as a philanthropist, social activist, and businesswoman—has garnered her equal, if not greater, acclaim than her onscreen work. Her casual but self-assured appearance in this portrait carries a
- quality of everydayness that celebrates female power. Longoria is the founder of Eva’s Heroes, an organization committed to enriching the lives of developmentally challenged youth; she has served as executive producer of the documentaries The Harvest and Food Chains, about farm work and social justice. In 2013 she received a master’s degree in Chicano studies from California State University, Northridge.

- Nacida en Corpus Christi, Texas
- Esta galardonada actriz “texicana”, como ella misma se describe, saltó a la fama con el papel de Gabrielle Solís en la serie Desperate Housewives, el primer papel protagónico para una latina en la televisión de horario estelar en Estados Unidos. Eva Longoria es presencia habitual en las listas de “las más bellas” y un icono de la moda. Su trabajo fuera de la pantalla, a nivel nacional e internacional, como filántropa, activista social y mujer de negocios, le ha ganado tanto o más reconocimiento. Su apariencia relajada y asertiva le da a este retrato un tono de realidad cotidiana a la vez que celebra el poder femenino. Longoria fundó la organización Eva’s Heroes, dedicada a enriquecer las vidas de jóvenes con discapacidades; también fue productora ejecutiva de los documentales The Harvest y Food Chains, que tratan sobre el trabajo agrícola y la justicia social. En 2013 obtuvo una maestría en estudios chicanos de la Universidad de California, Northridge.
