Eva Longoria Parker was Nominated for Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy at the 2006 Golden Globe Awards.

Gabrielle Marquez was born into a small town in Mexico, where her family was very poor. When she was a child, her father was diagnosed with cancer, from which he died. When she was 15 years old, she was sexually assaulted by her stepfather, Alejandro, and left home the next day.

Unfortunately this led to an argument with her mother as her mother blamed Gabrielle, thinking she was jealous. Five years later, she seduced a fashion photographer and became a model. Gaby can be a self-absorbed, spoiled, vain, shallow, and sarcastic person, but underneath she is thoughtful and caring, and loves her friends on Wisteria Lane dearly and will always help in a crisis.

She tends to be reckless and acts first then thinks later, often thinking of herself before others, but regretting it later and making amends. She is very attractive and has the ability to wrap men around her little finger.
