She was a girl next door and she became an overnight star with the worldwide success of her show Desperate Housewives.

She said, “There’s no way to find your bearings when fame hits. It’s like a hurricane. I was famous in, like, two seconds. Thank God I was totally grounded before it all happened. I think if you don ‘t know who you are, then you’re suddenly forced to find yourself in this chaos. And you can’t.”

The best part is that she didn’t allow her fame to go to her head and thats how she has her feet firmly placed on the ground.
