“I shot somebody in the foot,” she admits. “I did that with a BB gun when I was a child, but it wasn’t a serious injury.” Still—what street cred! We always knew that the 42-year-old actress, producer, director, designer, activist, philanthropist, restaurateur, author and businesswoman was a badass… we just didn’t know that she started quite so young. These days, Longoria has better aim—when she shoots, she scores. Her list of achievements, in a nutshell (both during and after her tenyear Golden Globe-nominated run as Gabrielle Solis on ABC’s Desperate Housewives) include opening Beso, a restaurant collaboration with master chef Todd English; publishing the cookbook Eva’s Kitchen: Cooking with Love for Family and Friends; founding the non-profit Eva’s Heroes, a charity that helps developmentally disabled children; launching her UnbeliEVAble Entertainment production company, which is in the midst of a two-year first-look agreement deal with Universal Pictures; becoming one of seven Californians named to co-chair Barack Obama’s re-election campaign in 2012; and even finding the time to go back to school—she received her Master’s degree in Chicano Studies from California State University, Northridge in 2013. This year, she also released a dedicated clothing line, her eponymous Eva Longoria Collection.
