Video Interview: Eva Longoria

NEW YORK: World Screen speaks to Eva Longoria about the NBC series Telenovela, her love of comedy and having pride in her Latino heritage.

Longoria catapulted to fame in 2004 thanks to her role as the scheming, sexy Gabrielle Solis on Marc Cherry’s breakout hit Desperate Housewives. After the series went off the air in 2012, she served as executive producer of Devious Maids, also penned by Cherry, and appeared in a number of feature films and TV series. Tapping into her producing skills, she set up a production company called UnbeliEVAble Entertainment, which recently produced Telenovela, a workplace comedy on NBC that stars Longoria herself.
