This didn’t just give her the needed exposure as an actress but also got her the opportunity to appear on a good number of TV commercials.
It was in 2004 that she was called in to join the Desperate Housewives which would make her even more popular. She remained a part of it from then until 2012. Soon afterward, her career went on to blossom with a lot of TV shows to her name including Children’s Hospital, Welcome to the Family The Simpsons, Mother Up!, and Empire.
