Longoria also flexes her comedic muscles in Hot Tamales Live, a critically acclaimed comedy/variety show in which she both stars and co-produces. Hot Tamales Live performs regularly at The Comedy Store and consistently sells out its performances whenever they perform across the country. Hot Tamales Live is currently available on DVD/videocassette and pay-per-view. Acknowledging her "comedic flair," Back Stage West proclaimed: "Eva Longoria is sensational."
The youngest of four sisters who grew up on a ranch in Corpus Christi, Texas, Longoria attended Texas A&M-Kingsville, where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology. After graduating from college, she entered a talent contest that brought her to Los Angeles, where she was spotted and subsequently signed by a theatrical agent. Longoria's timing couldn't have been better, and she was determined to see where her acting dreams would take her.
Her persistence has certainly paid off. After landing roles on The Bold and the Beautiful, General Hospital, and co-starring on Beverly Hills, 90210, she auditioned and won the role of "Isabella" on the popular series The Young and the Restless. Longoria's career was successfully launched. She considers herself blessed to have had the opportunity to work on the No. 1 daytime drama.
Longoria currently lives in Los Angeles, where she spends her off-time engaging in all types of sports, ranging from rock climbing to motocross and kick boxing to yoga. Pastimes also include salsa dancing, crocheting and home decorating. She has a passion for the study of Latino literature and history, and is politically active throughout California and nationally with various organizations in the pursuit of advancing Latino rights.
