Actress Eva Longoria came to fame later in life
The former Desperate Housewives star, 39, insists that the fact she wasn’t a wet-behind-the-ears teenager when she first hit the limelight meant she was more able to cope with the stress.
“I don’t allow fame to define me,” says Eva.
“I became famous quite late in life – I was 28 or 29.
"If you allow the media to define you as ‘America’s sweetheart’ or the ‘funny woman’, that’s where you get into trouble.

"Because I was so set in who I was, it all brushes off me.”
The star also thinks that despite finding fame and fortune in Tinseltown, it’s her university education, which is her proudest achievement, adding:
“I already had my BA, my education and I was quite set in who I am.”
