I think Eva Longoria Parker is one of the most glamorous women in Hollywood, but last season she’s looked really drab and frumpy on Desperate Housewives. How much weight did she gain for the role?

According to Parker, 33, she gained no more than 7 pounds. “I am the same size, believe it or not,” she says. She admits she enjoyed how her “drabby” look meant spending less time on makeup and hairstyling before filming. “It is way more fun to play frumpy, because then you can focus on story and character as opposed to always having to look great.”
