Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria was honoured with a star on the Hollywood walk of fame on Monday.
The 43-year-old celebrated the event with friends including Ricky Martin, actress Anna Faris, and Felicity Huffman, who played alongside Longoria for eight seasons in the TV drama Desperate Housewives.
“I feel like I’m still a little girl from Corpus Christi, Texas, who had a really big dream and big hair”, Longoria said. “As a woman and as a Latina, I represent a lot of communities, and I want to tell all those communities that this isn’t my star, this is our star,” she added.
Getting her start in soap operas The Young and The Restless and General Hospital, Longoria gained fame and a Golden Globe nomination and won Screen Actors Guild awards for playing one of the four leading roles in Desperate Housewives.
