Actors of "Desperate Housewives". How many seasons in the series, who voices the role in the Russian version

The series "Desperate Housewives" can be safely called the most popular in the last decade. The adventures of modern women who devoted themselves to the family and living in a quiet suburb made an impression and aroused considerable interest among millions of TV viewers. Of course, the plot plays a big role in the success of the television series, but the tremendous game played by the actors of Desperate Housewives plays an enormous role. About their life, creative and personal biography, we will tell in this article. Also here you will find the answer to the question of who is voicing desperate housewives.

The grand success of the project

The series "Desperate Housewives" immediately after its release in 2004 became a hit. But what is the reason for such a great success? Perhaps the whole point is that the main connoisseurs and fans of the series are women of Balzac's age who have long been married with families, children and prosperity? And in their lives so not enough insanity and adventure? But on the screens appear Bree Van de Kamp, Gabriel Solis, Lynette Scavo or Susan Meyer - and each mother of the family begins to identify with this or that heroine. And these, albeit fictional, adventures were able to give only "Desperate Housewives." How many seasons (and there were as many as 8), we enjoyed watching the life of the main characters, while feeling that they almost do not differ from us, well, maybe a little more bold. But let's talk about those who breathed life into these fictitious women. Next we will talk about the performers of the main roles of the series.

Gabriel Solis

All the actors of Desperate Housewives are absolutely original and unique. But the actress, who played the former model and the wife of a successful businessman, who suffers from a lack of attention and gets into different bindings because of this, deserves special attention (in Russian the role was duplicated by Svetlana Kuznetsova). Of course, we are talking about Eva Longoria. About her biography and personal life, we'll talk in this block. The actress was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, on March 15, 1975. Initially, Eva Longoria did not intend to devote herself to the cinema, but only engaged in her own education, thereby becoming a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. But, having received the diploma and having moved to Los Angeles, Eva acquires her own agent.

Successes and personal life

The debut of the actress was an episodic role in the popular series "Beverly Hills 90210". Then follows the role in the "Main Hospital" and two years of filming in the project "Young and Daring". Already in 2004, Eva received an invitation to participate in the project "Desperate Housewives". The series became a starry hour for the actress and brought immense popularity. Now she was invited to the main roles in the big cinema. In 2006, Langoria starred in the film "The Guardian", where she played along with such masters as Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland. At the same time, she participated in the filming of the film "Cool times" with Christian Bail in the title role. In 2008, Eva brilliantly played a major role in the film "The Bride from the Other World." The film completely failed at the box office, and critics criticized it for nothing. Since that moment, the actress was disappointed in the big cinema and did not participate in the shootings.

In life Eva Longoria does not look much like her heroine from the series. Unlike Gabriel Solis, who is trying to save her marriage , Eve survived more than one divorce. And the news, devoted to her violent novels, for a long time did not descend from the main pages of the famous tabloids. The first marriage actress concluded in 2002, married with a popular actor Tyler Christopher. But already in 2004 the idyll came to an end. In 2007, the actress married Tony Parker, a French basketball player. After three years, lived together, the couple declared a divorce, motivating their decision "incompatibility and irreconcilable differences." Then came the romance with the Spanish singer Eduardo Cruz (Penelope Cruz's brother), which also ended in a break. Another failure is Ernesto Arguello, a Spanish businessman. At the moment, Eva meets with Mexican media tycoon Antonio Baston. The couple does not conceal their happiness, so, perhaps, soon we are waiting for a smart wedding.

Bree Van de Kamp

Probably, this is the most complex and contradictory character. Always restrained and unperturbed, Bree (the role was duplicated by Elena Shulman) tried to create a family worthy of a commercial. In her attempts to achieve excellence, she did not understand that she was farther away from her children and her husband. And at one point she had to face reality and try to start everything from the beginning. Marcia Cross, who embodied the image of this housewife, was born on March 25, 1962 in the town of Marlborough, Massachusetts. Since her early childhood, Marcia dreamed of an actress's career. In the 6th form she played a role in the school setting and since then decided not to deviate from her dream. At the age of 18, Cross enters the New York School of Dramatic Art. Then there were performances on the theatrical stage, where the actress plays the main roles in such plays as "Servant of Two Masters" and "12 Nights". Marcia Cross debuted on television in 1984, when she took part in the series "At the End of the Night." But do not think that the actress was completely absorbed only by her career. After all, at this time she managed to graduate from higher education and get a degree in psychology.

Starry hour

The first success of the actress brought the performance of one of the main roles in the television series "Melrose Place." Although initially only one episode was conceived for the character of Marcia, she liked the producers so much that, as a result, the actress was approved into the main cast. For five years, Cross participated in this project, and after the film was shot in "Spin City", "Seinfelde", "Everwood", "CSI: Crime Scene." In 2004, after brutal competition and harsh casting, Marcia was approved for the role of Bree Van de Kamp in the project "Desperate Housewives". The series returned her deserved popularity and recognition of critics and viewers around the world. Participation in the teleproject brought many awards to the actress, including "Golden Globe" and "Emmy". Personal life of the actress has developed quite successfully. In 2006, she linked her fate with actor Tom Mahoney and, despite the fact that she was already 45 years old, gave birth to two charming twin girls. Until recently, Marcia was engaged only in her family, but at the age of 51 she decided to return to the acting profession and took part in the comedy "Tolstyak Patrick".

Lynette Scavo

In her struggle for family happiness, this housewife had to face many challenges, including drug addiction and jealousy. But, eventually, they with the husband could reach harmony and open own pizzeria. The role of a large mother, experiencing the ups and downs in family life, was convincingly played by Felicity Huffman (voiced by Elena Pavlovskaya). The future television star was born in Bedford, New York, on December 9, 1962, in a large family of a banker and an actress. When Felicity turned a year, her parents divorced, and the girl remained to live with her mother.

Successes and failures

Career Huffman was quite successful and until the moment when she got into the actors "Desperate Housewives." Already in the early 80's actress performed on the stage. In 1988 she took part in the production of Broadway "Stir", where she replaced Madonna herself. At the same time, the actress starred in the films "Sweet Factory" and "Everything changes." Until the mid-90s she took part in many successful projects as a guest star. To the Russian TV audience she is familiar on roles in such serials as "X-Files", "Tomorrow Will Come Today" and "Law and Order". In 1998 Felicity Huffman got on the project "Night of Sport", participation in which brought her the Golden Globe Award. But the main success awaits the actress in 2004, when she gets to shoot "Desperate Housewives" - it brings her world fame and a statue of "Emmy." Since that time, Felicity has accepted many proposals. Films worth noting: "Reversible mistakes", "Cool Georgia", "Fashion Mommy", "Phoebe in a magical land". The personal life of the actress can also be called successful. In 1997 she married the actor William Macy, and until now the couple lives in peace and harmony, they have two adorable daughters.

Susan Meyer

The most restless and curious housewife. Because of her lively character, Susan often finds herself in comic and awkward situations. She will appear naked before neighbors, then she will accidentally set fire to the neighbor's house. Her relationship with a wise, not weathering daughter deserves special attention, because often they change roles, and the daughter becomes the main adviser for the mother. Teri Hatcher perfectly coped with the role of extraordinary Susan (dubbing - Julia Rudina), and this is not surprising, because the actress knows what it means to be a single mother. She brings up her daughter without a father.

Biography of the actress

But it was still too early to talk about unprecedented popularity.

The first glory Teri brought to the popular television series "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman", where she starred in the title role. Also, the actress took part in one of the parts of the bondage - "Tomorrow Never Dies". This role was brought Hatcher prize "Saturn". In the early 2000s Teri Hatcher's career went into decline, and the fact that she got into the actors of "Desperate Housewives" was a real salvation. All eight seasons, the actress delighted the fans with an impeccable game. But after the completion of filming Teri failed to participate in any loud project.

Brenda Strong

This actress got the role of a suicidal housewife unable to endure the fact that all her secrets became public property (the role was duplicated in Russian by Natalia Danilova).

Betty Applewhite

Mysterious neighbor who moved to a quiet town late at night, quite quickly blended into the life of desperate housewives. But, like everything else in this suburb, Betty Applewhite hid her secret - the second son living in a cellar locked up. At first, the plot spun around her a little.

Although the story of Betty Applewhite lasted only two seasons in the series, she made an impression on the audience. And Aelfry Woodard, who played this role, won the Emmy award.
