Housewives' welcomes Gabrielle's mom
LOS ANGELES, California(AP) Gabrielle's mom, to be played by Maria Conchita Alonso, is paying a visit to "Desperate Housewives."
In an episode tentatively scheduled for February 19 on ABC, Alonso will play Lucia, who drops in on her daughter after leaving the latest in a string of husbands, the network said.
Gabrielle is played by Eva Longoria.
Lucia has been referred to previously by Gabrielle and not in the most loving way but hasn't been seen until now.
"She's extremely ecstatic and she loves the role," said Alonso's publicist, Rona Menashe. "She watches the show and loves it."
Alonso, who's filming the episode this week, made her U.S. movie debut in "Moscow on the Hudson" in 1984, playing opposite Robin Williams. Her other films include "The House of the Spirits" and "Chasing Papi," and she has appeared on stage and in TV ser1c84ies including "Kingpin."
The Cuban-born Alonso, who was raised in Venezuela and was a beauty pageant winner, also is a Grammy Award-nominated singer.

She has already made her debut performance on Desperate Housewives in the Season 2 episode, "Thank You So Much". I think it will be great if she returns as she was really funny, Maria also made Material Girls quite enjoyable as she is a fantastic actress.

Yeah, what's up with the plastic sergery; it was not needed. Too bad, I loved her in the eighties. Touch and Go, The Running Man, Moscow on the Hudson. She was grerat in all of them.

I am happy to see Maria Conchita playing so many roles. I've been in love with her ever since Moscow on the Hudson. What I wouldn't give to have been able to trade places with Robin Williams.

This is great that Maria Conchita plays her mother!!! Good for her! I hope she stays for several episodes. Maria is a very versatile actress!
