Joined by fellow company spokesmodels Andie MacDowell and Kate del Castillo, the Desperate Housewives actress was on hand to celebrate L’Oreal’s 100th anniversary of legendary beauty by helping preserve the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2010.
“L’Oreal Paris has long been a favourite for making Hollywood celebs look their best,” the event’s organizers said in a statement. “Now Hollywood is paying tribute to L’Oreal with its very own star on the Walk of Fame. … The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is honoring the world’s largest beauty company as a Friend of the Walk of Fame.”
Meanwhile, in addition to being a primetime actress and one of the many faces of the largest cosmetic company in the world, Eva is an outspoken advocate for the Latino community.
During her recent visit to Washington where she announced the leadership of the National Museum of the American Latino Commission, Eva told CNS News that is time for Congress to “take on” the issue of illegal immigration and that this unsolved problem should not be used as the scapegoat to not pass health care reform.
“I think there needs to be a sophisticated dialogue about what needs to happen with immigration but the main thing is it needs to happen,” she said. “And also, there needs to be education about the current system and how it’s not working and this has been on the national agenda for 10 years, so it’s time to take it on.”

“If one were to watch Fox News or listen to Rush Limbaugh — as millions do — one would believe that the burden of the ordinary American taxpayer, and the unfair plight of America’s rich, is that their money is being stolen by the poorest and most powerless sectors of the society. An organization whose constituencies are often-unregistered inner-city minorities, the homeless and the dispossesed is depicted as though it’s Goldman Sachs, Blackwater, and Haillburton combined, as though Washington officials are in thrall to those living in poverty rather than those who fund their campaigns. It’s not the nice men in the suits doing the stealing but the very people, often minorities or illegal immigrants, with no political or financial power who nonetheless somehow dominate the government and get everything for themselves. The poorer and weaker one is, the more one is demonized in right-wing mythology as all-powerful receipients of ill-gotten gains; conversely, the stronger and more powerful one is, the more one is depicted as an oppressed and put-upon victim (that same dynamic applies to foreign affairs as well).
It’s such an obvious falsehood — so counter-intuitive and irrational — yet it resonates due to powerful cultural manipulations. Most of all, what’s so pernicious about all of this is that the same interests who are stealing, pillaging and wallowing in corruption are scapegoating the poorest and most vulnerable in order to ensure that the victims of their behavior are furious with everyone except for them.”
