Before the interview, she revealed she was given advice from her Desperate Housewives producer Brian Tanen which helped her land the job.

Hair me out: Eva shared an honest moment with fans last month when she unveiled her grey hair in a video posted on her Instagram account.

She said it was the last audition of the day and hadn't even had time to read the full script, but still impressed the show's producers and won the coveted role.

The actress also revealed her mother instilled in her a pride of her Latina heritage from a young age.
