Would You Like Fries With That?
If you were at Wendy’s in Corpus Christi yesterday, you may have seen someone familiar behind the counter: Eva Longoria Parker. In a total departure from her character, Eva spent some time serving up fast food… Gabby would be appalled! So, why was the star moonlighting? According to reports, it was to help out a great cause.
Eva was there to kick off the Father’s Day Frosty Weekend. The event is in support of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and its Wendy’s Wonderful Kids program. For every Frosty served, the charity got 50 cents towards its cause. You all may remember the late Dave Thomas, founder of the chain, was adopted himself and often did things like this to promote the issue of adoption and help fellow adoptees. The weekend event wasn’t exactly something new for Eva. She spent several years working at the same Wendy’s before she found success as an actress.
That’s not all she’s up to during her hiatus. Eva has also been spotted here and there at basketball games to support husband Tony Parker. His team, the Spurs, are currently competing in the NBA playoffs. The image to the right is from a game on May 23, 2008 against the Lakers. The teams played at the Staples center in LA.
Well, that’s all for now. Check back next time to see what some other cast members are up to. I’ll also be starting my look back on the series with the pilot episode. Til then, take care!
