It’s proving to be a big year for Eva Longoria.

The Desperate Housewives actress is in her third trimester and is now the proud recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The 2,634th star was awarded to 43-year-old Longoria whose acting career began in 2000 and now includes several turns as producer.

Some of Eva’s dearest friends — and biggest names in Hollywood — were present at the ceremony, including musician Ricky Martin and Mom actress Anna Faris who both spoke.
Fashion designer, Victoria Beckham, was also part of the festivities, as well as Reese Witherspoon, Kerry Washington, Melanie Griffiths, TV host Mario Lopez, and Eva’s former Desperate Housewives co-star, Felicity Huffman.

A visibly moved Eva declared during her speech, “It’s just been a surreal journey. I feel like I’m still a little girl from Corpus Christi, Texas, who had a really big dream and big hair. As a woman and as a Latina, I represent a lot of communities and I want to tell all those communities that this isn’t my star, this is our star.”

You can see her next in the romantic comedy Overboard, set for release next month.
