Biography
Golden Globe®-nominated, Screen Actors Guild Award®-winning, ALMA Award-winning actress, and Variety's 2014 "Top 5 Actresses," producer, director, entrepreneur, philanthropist and "Desperate Housewives" alum, Eva Longoria takes her career to a whole new level, as she makes a trusted name for herself both in front and behind the camera.
In 2012 Longoria partnered with NBC Universal and signed the biggest first-look development deal between an actor and a network to date that includes a non-writing, executive producer agreement through her production company UnbeliEVAble Entertainment.
Longoria, alongside producing partner Ben Spector, is actively developing projects as a producer, director and writer. She is Executive Producer of Lifetime's one-hour scripted hit dramedy, "Devious Maids," the first show in history to cast five female Latinas as lead characters on a television series (Judy Reyes, Ana Ortiz, Dania Ramirez, Edy Ganem and Roselyn Sanchez). "Devious Maids," picked up for a third season, follows the trials and tribulations of five maids in Beverly Hills.
Longoria was also Executive Producer of Hulu's hit animated sitcom series "Mother Up," written and directed by "Family Guy" vet Michael Shipley, which follows the trials and tribulations of Rudi Wilson, a former music business executive forced to downshift her life in middle America, becoming an irresponsible suburban mother, who basically improvises her way through parenting.
Through UnbeliEVAble Entertainment, Longoria executive produced the half-hour NBC musical comedy, "Tuned," co-producing and starring Zachary Levi ("Chuck"), and sold two other projects: the medical drama "Critical" to NBC, and Texas political drama, "Pair of Aces" to ABC.
On the feature film front, Longoria starred in Refugio, Academy Award® nominee Demian Bichir's writing and directorial debut feature film. Longoria also has feature film Any Day alongside Sean Bean and Kate Walsh, as well as Visions, starring opposite Isla Fisher and Jim Parsons. Longoria also had a highly acclaimed performance in the film Frontera where she starred opposite Ed Harris and Michael Peña as a Mexican woman crossing the US border to meet her husband.
"Telenovela," developed by Longoria through UnbeliEVAble Entertainment, centers on an ambitious telenovela star who struggles to stay on top in a world where the drama on-camera is nothing compared to the drama off-camera. Longoria, along with Spector and Crissy Pietrosh and Jessica Goldstein ("Cougar Town") would executive produce, and could potentially go hand-in-hand with sister network Telemundo to make episodes of the fictional telenovela that would air on the Spanish-language net.
Longoria is also executive producer and host for the NCLR ALMA Awards, executive producer of the documentaries Harvest and Food Chains-- both of which explore the current and historic exploitation of farm workers -- and is currently producing her third documentary Our Time which explores the power of the Latino vote.
Longoria is the founder of "The Eva Longoria Foundation" dedicated to helping Latinas build better futures for themselves through education and entrepreneurship, co-founder of "Eva's Heroes" which enriches the lives of adolescents with developmental disabilities, and is national spokesperson for "Padres Contra el Cancer" a nonprofit that is committed to improving the quality of life for children with cancer. She is a current board member of MALDEF, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
Named "Philanthropist of the Year" by The Hollywood Reporter, honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at Variety's annual Power of Women Luncheon, Longoria is also a founder of the Latino Victory Project, and selected as a speaker at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, helping the President secure 73% of the Latino vote. A Brand Ambassador for L'Oreal Paris, Longoria owns BESO Hollywood, her own production company, UnbeliEVAble Entertainment, two fragrances "EVA, by Eva Longoria" and "EVAmour," and also has a New York Times bestselling cookbook EVA's KITCHEN: COOKING WITH LOVE FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Longoria received her Master's degree in Chicano studies in 2013 with her thesis on "Success STEMS from Diversity: The Value of Latinas in STEM Careers."
