If you have seen at least a couple of Desperate Housewives episodes, you definitely remember Edie Britt, the real estate agent, famous for her scandalous nature and numerous romances. The actress that played Edie, Nicollette Sheridan, is a little like the character: she’s had big divorces, scandals, and lawsuits. She has done a lot of TV series, but decided to pause her career to help take care of her mom.
