Eva Jacqueline Longoria [2] (born March 15, 1975) [3] is an American actress, best known for portraying Gabrielle Solis on the ABC television series Desperate Housewives. Longoria received a nomination for the 2006 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series for her performance on Desperate Housewives.

Longoria first rose to fame on television in the soap opera The Young and the Restless portraying the role of Isabella Williams. She became nationally recognized in the 2000s after appearing in several high-profile advertising campaigns and numerous men's magazines, reaching #14 in the FHM "Sexiest Women 2008" poll, and having appeared on the cover of various international women's magazines including Vogue, Marie Claire and Harper's Bazaar. [4] Longoria has also starred in films such as Harsh Times (2005), The Sentinel (2006) and Over Her Dead Body (2008).

Early life

Eva Jacqueline Longoria was born in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas, the youngest of four daughters born to Mexican-Americans Enrique Longoria, Jr. and Ella Eva Mireles. [2] [5] [6] She was raised Roman Catholic. [7] The Longoria family has resided in Texas since before the creation of the United States, predating the English-speaking settlers. [8]

She received her Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology at nearby Texas A&M University-Kingsville. [9] During this time, she won the title of Miss Corpus Christi, USA in 1998. After completing college, Longoria entered a talent contest that led her to Los Angeles, California; shortly after, she was spotted and signed by a theatrical agent. [10]

Career

Longoria landed her first television role in 1999 after meeting Executive Producer Gary Ghiaey at a political reception in Los Angeles. Ghiaey hired her to host the weekend destination segment of his television show "L.A. In A Day".[ citation needed] Longoria went on to guest star in an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210. [11] Another guest appearance in General Hospital the same year brought her big break on the popular American soap opera The Young and the Restless, in which she played psychotic Isabella Braña Williams from 2001 to 2003. [12]

In 2006 at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Pan's Labyrinth.

After leaving The Young and the Restless, she was seen on the now-cancelled Dick Wolf revival of Dragnet. Following Dragnet, she starred in two ill-fated productions - Señorita Justice, a poorly received direct-to-video film, and a television film titled The Dead Will Tell.[ citation needed]

In 2004, Longoria landed the role as adulteress Gabrielle Solis in the worldwide break-out ABC hit Desperate Housewives. She has never considered her career to have jumped off so suddenly: "I think it's funny when people say I’m an overnight sensation, because I’ve been working at it for 10 years." [13]

Shortly after her debut on Desperate Housewives, Longoria starred in a poorly received direct-to-video film titled Carlita's Secret, for which she was also co- producer.[ citation needed] In 2006, she was rewarded for her performance as Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives when she was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy along with her co-stars.[ citation needed] She was awarded the ALMA Award and named entertainer of the year that year. She also starred opposite Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland in the 2006 thriller The Sentinel, which was her first major role in a theatrical movie. In 2006, she played the character Sylvia in Harsh Times starring Freddy Rodriguez and Christian Bale.

She has expressed "confusion" over fellow Housewives actress Nicolette Sheridan's lawsuit against the Desperate Housewives series creator Marc Cherry. [14]

People en Español listed her among its "Most Beautiful People" for 2003.[ citation needed] Longoria continues to be included in lists of Hollywood's Most Beautiful and was listed #1 in Maxim's Hottest Female Stars of 2005 and 2006, becoming the first woman to top the list in two consecutive years.[ citation needed] She was ranked #9 in the magazine's Hot 100 of 2007 list. [15] In honor of Maxim's 100th issue in 2006, Longoria was featured on a 75-by-110-foot (23 by 34 m) vinyl mesh replica of its January 2005 cover located in a Las Vegas metropolitan area desert. [16]

In January 2007, Longoria was chosen to be the first face of Bebe Sport. [17] She appeared in the Spring/Summer 2007 campaign, photographed by Greg Kadel.[ citation needed] The actress also holds model contracts with L'Oréal and Hanes, New York & Co. [18] Longoria also has a contract with Magnum Ice-Cream, [19] and Heineken. [20] [21] She is a part of Microsoft's "I'm A PC" ad campaign, [22] and she and Tony Parker have appeared together in campaigns for London Fog. [23]

Eva Longoria became a spokesperson for L'Oréal Paris in 2005 and has continued to feature in L'Oréal TV commercials and print ads until the year 2010. [24] Eva Longoria stated that she found a "generous spirit" [25] at L'Oréal. She continues to say "L'Oréal Paris wants beauty to be free, without borders or prejudices….Working together was just meant to be." [25] In the summer of 2010 Longoria served as a judge on The Next Food Network Star. [26] In October, Longoria hosted the MTV Europe Music Awards 2010 in Madrid, Spain. [27] [28] Based on her earnings within June 1, 2009 to June 1, 2010 Longoria was ranked No. 4 on Forbes Prime Time's 10 Top-Earning Women with an estimated $12 million. [29] More recently, she was ranked #14 of People's Most Beautiful 2011. [30]

After Desperate Housewives Longoria's first project is an independent drama titled Long Time Gone, in which she will play a mistress. Sarah Siegel-Magness, who produced the award-winning 2009 film Precious, will direct the film. Then, In Who Gets the Dog Longoria will play a woman named Olive who is at war with her ex over who keeps their beloved poodle. Besides starring in the film, she has also signed on as a producer for the comedy. Longoria will also star alongside Brendan Fraser as his wife in Four Kings, a historical drama set during the French and Indian War, which took place from 1754–1763. The drama, directed by Damian Lee, is about a wealthy British man who hopes to create a utopian society with his wife by backing the war between Great Britain and France. And then there is an animated series by Hulu, titled Child Support, in which Longoria will lend her voice to the lead role. Longoria's character is Marley Wiener—an irresponsible suburban mother who basically improvises her way through parenting. [31] Eva Longoria topped the Forbes magazine's list of the highest-paid TV actresses for 2011. [32]

Business activities

Eva Longoria opened the restaurant Beso (in Spanish: "Kiss") in Hollywood, along with partner and celebrity chef Todd English, in March 2008. The restaurant is located on Hollywood Boulevard and is accompanied by Kiss, a Victorian-themed nightclub above the restaurant. [33] The Hollywood Beso was scheduled to be the focus of a pilot episode for a tentative reality series called Beso: Waiting on Fame which would air on VH1 in late 2010. [34]

In 2009, Longoria and various investor-partners opened a Beso restaurant, with a nightclub called Eve above it, in the Crystals retail and entertainment district of CityCenter in Las Vegas. [33]

In 2011, the corporation Beso LLC, owner of the Vegas restaurant-and-nightclub venture, with listed assets of about $2.5 million and Eva Longoria as a 32 percent shareholder, filed for Chapter 11 protection, entering bankruptcy proceedings, in order to restructure nearly $5.7 million in debt and other liabilities. [35] Longoria stated, on the occasion, that she's looking "forward to a more pro-active, hands-on approach in the coming years" with her Las Vegas business interests. [36] On 28 July 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for Nevada, following a request filed by Beso investor Mali Nachum and her husband Ronen, who have been litigating against Longoria and other Beso investors in multiple courts, ordered Eva Longoria to appear in Las Vegas on the 20th of August in order to be examined about the bankrupt restaurant's finances. [37]

Longoria released the fragrance "EVA by Eva Longoria", a "clean citrus-floral eau de parfum", in April 2010. She stated she wanted a fragrance she could wear: "I am allergic to most fragrances. There was nothing I could wear without my eyes watering, my nose starting to itch or sneezing." [38] In the spring of 2011 she launches her signature fragrance, Eva by Eva Longoria, in major department stores. [26]

Her first book, Eva's Kitchen: Cooking with Love for Family and Friends hit bookstores on April 12, 2011. [26]

Personal life

Relationships

Longoria was married to General Hospital star Tyler Christopher from 2002 to 2004. [39]

Longoria was in an entanglement with JC Chasez, ex-* NSYNC member, whom she sometimes said she was dating, and other times pushed off as a "good friend" over the course of 2004 [40]. They were seen together multiple times, at events, and on outings, Chasez seemingly VERY much in love with her, but Longoria had other things in mind. Like Tony Parker's penis. As if cheating on him with Parker wasn't enough, she went on to emphasize the "fact" that her vibrator did her better than Chasez did, even after Chasez had decided not to comment at all as to what had happened. [41]. And continuing from the interview that "vibrator" information was pulled from, she also went on to say that she preferred the teenaged boy over actual men because "their libidos are strong and wild", thus making everyone believe she really was a lunatic, along with a pedophile [42].

Chasez was in complete shock, and confusion, after hearing that Longoria had told many sources that her and Chasez were "just friends" and then showed up to an awards show with future husband, Parker [43]. Hurt obviously badly by this heinous woman, and her wicked double-crossing ways, Chasez was inspired to write ballads that clearly hinted at this particular break up, although the album never released [44].

Longoria met Spurs point guard Tony Parker in November 2004, and on November 30, 2006, the couple became engaged. [45] They were married in a civil service on Friday, July 6, 2007, at a Paris city hall. It was followed by a full Roman Catholic wedding ceremony at the Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois Church in Paris on Saturday, July 7, 2007. [46]

On November 17, 2010, Longoria filed for divorce from Parker in Los Angeles, citing "irreconcilable differences". [47] In the divorce petition, Longoria, who had taken Parker's last name, requested her maiden name be restored. She also sought spousal support from Parker. [48] The couple had a prenuptial agreement that was signed in June 2007, the month before their wedding, and amended two years later in June 2009. [49]

The same day as the divorce filing, Longoria confirmed to her friend Mario Lopez that she had discovered hundreds of text messages from another woman on her husband's phone. [50] Extra identified the other woman as Erin Barry, the former wife of Brent Barry, Parker's former teammate, and revealed that the Barrys were also in the process of divorcing. [51] Lopez further stated that Longoria believed Parker had cheated on her earlier in the marriage with another woman, with whom he had kept in touch via Facebook. [52] In light of the divorce, Longoria cancelled her scheduled appearance at the 2010 American Music Awards. [50] On November 19, 2010, Parker filed for divorce from Longoria in Bexar County, Texas [53] on the grounds of "discord or conflict of personalities", thus establishing a legal battle over where the divorce case would be heard. Unlike Longoria's divorce petition, Parker's did not mention a prenuptial agreement and claimed that the parties would "enter into an agreement for the division of their estate". [54] The divorce was finalized in Texas on January 28, 2011, the same day Longoria's lawyer filed papers to dismiss her Los Angeles petition. [55]

Longoria dated Eduardo Cruz, the younger brother of Penelope Cruz, from February 2011 to March 2012. [56]

Ancestry

According to research done by Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., of Harvard University, in 2010 for the PBS series Faces of America, Longoria's Spanish ancestry can be traced back to her ninth great-grandfather, Lorenzo Suarez de Longoria (b. Oviedo, 1592), who in 1603 emigrated to the Viceroyalty of New Spain, which became modern-day Mexico, and whose family originated from a small village called Llongoria, Belmonte de Miranda, Asturias, Spain. Longoria is the Spanish spelling of the surname. Through the generations, Longoria's ancestors moved north to the modern US-Mexico border. In 1767, her 7th great-grandfather received almost 4,000 acres (16 km2) of land along the Rio Grande in a land grant from the King of Spain. This land stayed in the family for over a century, enduring through the influx of Anglo settlers in the aftermath of the Mexican-American War and American Civil War. [57]

Her DNA test results were: 70% European, 27% Asian/ Indigenous, and 3% African. [58] Specifically, her indigenous American ancestry is Mayan. [59] After a computer compared the DNA results of Gates's dozen guests, test showed that she is genetically related to cellist Yo-Yo Ma, who is of Chinese heritage. [58]

Philanthropy

In 2006, Longoria founded Eva's Heroes, a charity which helps developmentally disabled children, [60] as she herself suffers from ADHD. [61] She is the national spokesperson for PADRES Contra El Cancer. [62] She signed shoes for the Spirit of Women Red Shoe Celebrity Auction.[ citation needed] Longoria also supports the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation, OmniPeace, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the National Stroke Association, Project HOME and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. [63] Longoria is an executive producer of Shine Global Inc.'s documentary The Harvest (documentary) which is focused on the 500,000 child migrant farm workers in the U.S. [64] and promote awareness and support to enact the Children's Act for Responsible Employment (CARE Act). [65] [66]

Longoria was named Philanthropist of the year by the Hollywood Reporter for 'her commitment to Latino causes and giving back to the community. [67] She appeared on Fort Boyard in 2009, making over €20,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. [68]

In 2009, Longoria enrolled in a Master's program in Chicano Studies and Political Science at Cal State University, Northridge. According to Eva, "because of my involvement with the NCLR and my charity work, I really wanted a better, more authentic understanding of what my community has gone through so I can help create change." [69]

In September 2009, Longoria was appointed to a bi-partisan commission issued with the task of determining the feasibility of the creation of a National Museum of the American Latino. [70]

Politics

In 2009, Longoria enrolled in the Chicano Studies master's program at California State University, Northridge. [71] She has called Arizona's SB 1070 immigration law unconstitutional. [72] In 2012, she was one of seven Californians named to the "largely ceremonial" post of co-chair of Barack Obama's re-election campaign. [73]

Eva Jacqueline Longoria [2] (born March 15, 1975) [3] is an American actress, best known for portraying Gabrielle Solis on the ABC television series Desperate Housewives. Longoria received a nomination for the 2006 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series for her performance on Desperate Housewives.

Longoria first rose to fame on television in the soap opera The Young and the Restless portraying the role of Isabella Williams. She became nationally recognized in the 2000s after appearing in several high-profile advertising campaigns and numerous men's magazines, reaching #14 in the FHM "Sexiest Women 2008" poll, and having appeared on the cover of various international women's magazines including Vogue, Marie Claire and Harper's Bazaar. [4] Longoria has also starred in films such as Harsh Times (2005), The Sentinel (2006) and Over Her Dead Body (2008).

Early life

Eva Jacqueline Longoria was born in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas, the youngest of four daughters born to Mexican-Americans Enrique Longoria, Jr. and Ella Eva Mireles. [2] [5] [6] She was raised Roman Catholic. [7] The Longoria family has resided in Texas since before the creation of the United States, predating the English-speaking settlers. [8]

She received her Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology at nearby Texas A&M University-Kingsville. [9] During this time, she won the title of Miss Corpus Christi, USA in 1998. After completing college, Longoria entered a talent contest that led her to Los Angeles, California; shortly after, she was spotted and signed by a theatrical agent. [10]

Career

Longoria landed her first television role in 1999 after meeting Executive Producer Gary Ghiaey at a political reception in Los Angeles. Ghiaey hired her to host the weekend destination segment of his television show "L.A. In A Day".[ citation needed] Longoria went on to guest star in an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210. [11] Another guest appearance in General Hospital the same year brought her big break on the popular American soap opera The Young and the Restless, in which she played psychotic Isabella Braña Williams from 2001 to 2003. [12]

In 2006 at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Pan's Labyrinth.

After leaving The Young and the Restless, she was seen on the now-cancelled Dick Wolf revival of Dragnet. Following Dragnet, she starred in two ill-fated productions - Señorita Justice, a poorly received direct-to-video film, and a television film titled The Dead Will Tell.[ citation needed]

In 2004, Longoria landed the role as adulteress Gabrielle Solis in the worldwide break-out ABC hit Desperate Housewives. She has never considered her career to have jumped off so suddenly: "I think it's funny when people say I’m an overnight sensation, because I’ve been working at it for 10 years." [13]

Shortly after her debut on Desperate Housewives, Longoria starred in a poorly received direct-to-video film titled Carlita's Secret, for which she was also co- producer.[ citation needed] In 2006, she was rewarded for her performance as Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives when she was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy along with her co-stars.[ citation needed] She was awarded the ALMA Award and named entertainer of the year that year. She also starred opposite Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland in the 2006 thriller The Sentinel, which was her first major role in a theatrical movie. In 2006, she played the character Sylvia in Harsh Times starring Freddy Rodriguez and Christian Bale.

She has expressed "confusion" over fellow Housewives actress Nicolette Sheridan's lawsuit against the Desperate Housewives series creator Marc Cherry. [14]

People en Español listed her among its "Most Beautiful People" for 2003.[ citation needed] Longoria continues to be included in lists of Hollywood's Most Beautiful and was listed #1 in Maxim's Hottest Female Stars of 2005 and 2006, becoming the first woman to top the list in two consecutive years.[ citation needed] She was ranked #9 in the magazine's Hot 100 of 2007 list. [15] In honor of Maxim's 100th issue in 2006, Longoria was featured on a 75-by-110-foot (23 by 34 m) vinyl mesh replica of its January 2005 cover located in a Las Vegas metropolitan area desert. [16]

In January 2007, Longoria was chosen to be the first face of Bebe Sport. [17] She appeared in the Spring/Summer 2007 campaign, photographed by Greg Kadel.[ citation needed] The actress also holds model contracts with L'Oréal and Hanes, New York & Co. [18] Longoria also has a contract with Magnum Ice-Cream, [19] and Heineken. [20] [21] She is a part of Microsoft's "I'm A PC" ad campaign, [22] and she and Tony Parker have appeared together in campaigns for London Fog. [23]

Eva Longoria became a spokesperson for L'Oréal Paris in 2005 and has continued to feature in L'Oréal TV commercials and print ads until the year 2010. [24] Eva Longoria stated that she found a "generous spirit" [25] at L'Oréal. She continues to say "L'Oréal Paris wants beauty to be free, without borders or prejudices….Working together was just meant to be." [25] In the summer of 2010 Longoria served as a judge on The Next Food Network Star. [26] In October, Longoria hosted the MTV Europe Music Awards 2010 in Madrid, Spain. [27] [28] Based on her earnings within June 1, 2009 to June 1, 2010 Longoria was ranked No. 4 on Forbes Prime Time's 10 Top-Earning Women with an estimated $12 million. [29] More recently, she was ranked #14 of People's Most Beautiful 2011. [30]

After Desperate Housewives Longoria's first project is an independent drama titled Long Time Gone, in which she will play a mistress. Sarah Siegel-Magness, who produced the award-winning 2009 film Precious, will direct the film. Then, In Who Gets the Dog Longoria will play a woman named Olive who is at war with her ex over who keeps their beloved poodle. Besides starring in the film, she has also signed on as a producer for the comedy. Longoria will also star alongside Brendan Fraser as his wife in Four Kings, a historical drama set during the French and Indian War, which took place from 1754–1763. The drama, directed by Damian Lee, is about a wealthy British man who hopes to create a utopian society with his wife by backing the war between Great Britain and France. And then there is an animated series by Hulu, titled Child Support, in which Longoria will lend her voice to the lead role. Longoria's character is Marley Wiener—an irresponsible suburban mother who basically improvises her way through parenting. [31] Eva Longoria topped the Forbes magazine's list of the highest-paid TV actresses for 2011. [32]

Business activities

Eva Longoria opened the restaurant Beso (in Spanish: "Kiss") in Hollywood, along with partner and celebrity chef Todd English, in March 2008. The restaurant is located on Hollywood Boulevard and is accompanied by Kiss, a Victorian-themed nightclub above the restaurant. [33] The Hollywood Beso was scheduled to be the focus of a pilot episode for a tentative reality series called Beso: Waiting on Fame which would air on VH1 in late 2010. [34]

In 2009, Longoria and various investor-partners opened a Beso restaurant, with a nightclub called Eve above it, in the Crystals retail and entertainment district of CityCenter in Las Vegas. [33]

In 2011, the corporation Beso LLC, owner of the Vegas restaurant-and-nightclub venture, with listed assets of about $2.5 million and Eva Longoria as a 32 percent shareholder, filed for Chapter 11 protection, entering bankruptcy proceedings, in order to restructure nearly $5.7 million in debt and other liabilities. [35] Longoria stated, on the occasion, that she's looking "forward to a more pro-active, hands-on approach in the coming years" with her Las Vegas business interests. [36] On 28 July 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for Nevada, following a request filed by Beso investor Mali Nachum and her husband Ronen, who have been litigating against Longoria and other Beso investors in multiple courts, ordered Eva Longoria to appear in Las Vegas on the 20th of August in order to be examined about the bankrupt restaurant's finances. [37]

Longoria released the fragrance "EVA by Eva Longoria", a "clean citrus-floral eau de parfum", in April 2010. She stated she wanted a fragrance she could wear: "I am allergic to most fragrances. There was nothing I could wear without my eyes watering, my nose starting to itch or sneezing." [38] In the spring of 2011 she launches her signature fragrance, Eva by Eva Longoria, in major department stores. [26]

Her first book, Eva's Kitchen: Cooking with Love for Family and Friends hit bookstores on April 12, 2011. [26]

Personal life

Relationships

Longoria was married to General Hospital star Tyler Christopher from 2002 to 2004. [39]

Longoria was in an entanglement with JC Chasez, ex-* NSYNC member, whom she sometimes said she was dating, and other times pushed off as a "good friend" over the course of 2004 [40]. They were seen together multiple times, at events, and on outings, Chasez seemingly VERY much in love with her, but Longoria had other things in mind. Like Tony Parker's penis. As if cheating on him with Parker wasn't enough, she went on to emphasize the "fact" that her vibrator did her better than Chasez did, even after Chasez had decided not to comment at all as to what had happened. [41]. And continuing from the interview that "vibrator" information was pulled from, she also went on to say that she preferred the teenaged boy over actual men because "their libidos are strong and wild", thus making everyone believe she really was a lunatic, along with a pedophile [42].

Chasez was in complete shock, and confusion, after hearing that Longoria had told many sources that her and Chasez were "just friends" and then showed up to an awards show with future husband, Parker [43]. Hurt obviously badly by this heinous woman, and her wicked double-crossing ways, Chasez was inspired to write ballads that clearly hinted at this particular break up, although the album never released [44].

Longoria met Spurs point guard Tony Parker in November 2004, and on November 30, 2006, the couple became engaged. [45] They were married in a civil service on Friday, July 6, 2007, at a Paris city hall. It was followed by a full Roman Catholic wedding ceremony at the Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois Church in Paris on Saturday, July 7, 2007. [46]

On November 17, 2010, Longoria filed for divorce from Parker in Los Angeles, citing "irreconcilable differences". [47] In the divorce petition, Longoria, who had taken Parker's last name, requested her maiden name be restored. She also sought spousal support from Parker. [48] The couple had a prenuptial agreement that was signed in June 2007, the month before their wedding, and amended two years later in June 2009. [49]

The same day as the divorce filing, Longoria confirmed to her friend Mario Lopez that she had discovered hundreds of text messages from another woman on her husband's phone. [50] Extra identified the other woman as Erin Barry, the former wife of Brent Barry, Parker's former teammate, and revealed that the Barrys were also in the process of divorcing. [51] Lopez further stated that Longoria believed Parker had cheated on her earlier in the marriage with another woman, with whom he had kept in touch via Facebook. [52] In light of the divorce, Longoria cancelled her scheduled appearance at the 2010 American Music Awards. [50] On November 19, 2010, Parker filed for divorce from Longoria in Bexar County, Texas [53] on the grounds of "discord or conflict of personalities", thus establishing a legal battle over where the divorce case would be heard. Unlike Longoria's divorce petition, Parker's did not mention a prenuptial agreement and claimed that the parties would "enter into an agreement for the division of their estate". [54] The divorce was finalized in Texas on January 28, 2011, the same day Longoria's lawyer filed papers to dismiss her Los Angeles petition. [55]

Longoria dated Eduardo Cruz, the younger brother of Penelope Cruz, from February 2011 to March 2012. [56]

Ancestry

According to research done by Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., of Harvard University, in 2010 for the PBS series Faces of America, Longoria's Spanish ancestry can be traced back to her ninth great-grandfather, Lorenzo Suarez de Longoria (b. Oviedo, 1592), who in 1603 emigrated to the Viceroyalty of New Spain, which became modern-day Mexico, and whose family originated from a small village called Llongoria, Belmonte de Miranda, Asturias, Spain. Longoria is the Spanish spelling of the surname. Through the generations, Longoria's ancestors moved north to the modern US-Mexico border. In 1767, her 7th great-grandfather received almost 4,000 acres (16 km2) of land along the Rio Grande in a land grant from the King of Spain. This land stayed in the family for over a century, enduring through the influx of Anglo settlers in the aftermath of the Mexican-American War and American Civil War. [57]

Her DNA test results were: 70% European, 27% Asian/ Indigenous, and 3% African. [58] Specifically, her indigenous American ancestry is Mayan. [59] After a computer compared the DNA results of Gates's dozen guests, test showed that she is genetically related to cellist Yo-Yo Ma, who is of Chinese heritage. [58]

Philanthropy

In 2006, Longoria founded Eva's Heroes, a charity which helps developmentally disabled children, [60] as she herself suffers from ADHD. [61] She is the national spokesperson for PADRES Contra El Cancer. [62] She signed shoes for the Spirit of Women Red Shoe Celebrity Auction.[ citation needed] Longoria also supports the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation, OmniPeace, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the National Stroke Association, Project HOME and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. [63] Longoria is an executive producer of Shine Global Inc.'s documentary The Harvest (documentary) which is focused on the 500,000 child migrant farm workers in the U.S. [64] and promote awareness and support to enact the Children's Act for Responsible Employment (CARE Act). [65] [66]

Longoria was named Philanthropist of the year by the Hollywood Reporter for 'her commitment to Latino causes and giving back to the community. [67] She appeared on Fort Boyard in 2009, making over €20,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. [68]

In 2009, Longoria enrolled in a Master's program in Chicano Studies and Political Science at Cal State University, Northridge. According to Eva, "because of my involvement with the NCLR and my charity work, I really wanted a better, more authentic understanding of what my community has gone through so I can help create change." [69]

In September 2009, Longoria was appointed to a bi-partisan commission issued with the task of determining the feasibility of the creation of a National Museum of the American Latino. [70]

Politics

In 2009, Longoria enrolled in the Chicano Studies master's program at California State University, Northridge. [71] She has called Arizona's SB 1070 immigration law unconstitutional. [72] In 2012, she was one of seven Californians named to the "largely ceremonial" post of co-chair of Barack Obama's re-election campaign. [73]
