Felicity Huffman
One of the bevy of forty-something naughty ladies on Desperate Housewives, Felicity Huffman was born in 1962 in Bedford, N.Y.
She graduated from New York City’s Tisch School of the Arts and transitioned into an actress who’s selected unusual roles — including her Golden Globe-winning role as a transsexual in 2005’s Transamerica.
For her well-received portrayal of Lynette Scavo on Housewives, Huffman has earned an Emmy Award and numerous Golden Globe nominations.
The actress was also implicated in the 2019 Operation Varsity Blues scandal, and spent 14 days in prison for her involvement.
She is married to actor William H. Macy and the couple has two daughters together.
