Before she was up to her Stilettos in mayhem & mischief on "Desperate Housewives," Eva Longoria Parker was causing trouble in Genoa City on the daytime soap "The Young & the Restless" (and before that, she popped up on my favorite soap "General Hospital" as a Brenda Barrett look-a-like).

The beautiful Mrs. Longoria Parker dropped by the RT studios to chat with Jeffrey (a "Desperate" fan himself) and told him about the crash course in acting she learned on daytime TV. Watch the interview snippet after the jump.

She stars in the comedy "Over Her Dead Body" which drops in theaters this weekend. Catch more of Jeffrey's interview with Eva this weekend on Reel Talk.
