Eva Longoria - Fact Sheet

Profession: Actress

After blossoming into a fetching young woman, Longoria attended Texas A&M University-Kingsville, where she earned her Baccalaureate in Kinesiology—the study of body movement. When she wasn’t studying, Longoria appeared on stage in university theater productions. After graduation, Longoria won an Infinity Model Search contest, which led to her discovery by a theatrical agent. She soon found herself in bit parts on television, including an episode of “Beverly Hills, 90210” (Fox, 1990-2000), and eventually was cast as Isabella Brana on the long-running daytime soap opera, “The Young and the Restless” (CBS, 1972- ). Longoria was honored with an ALMA Award for Outstanding Actress in a Daytime Drama in 2002 for her work on the soap. Meanwhile, she hosted “The Talent Agency” (2003), a syndicated talent show that came and went without so much as a whimper. In “Hot Tamales Live”, a Pay-Per-View comedy special hosted by Kiki Melendez, Longoria got the chance to display her comic talents. But despite growing exposure, Longoria failed to make herself a household name. That would soon change.
