Marcia Cross is really and excellent actress. I've seen her work closely and I'm really amazed how she can performe all kind of roles. But the one I'll be talking about is her role in Desperate Housewives. As Bree Van De Kamp, later Bree Hodge, Marcia had caught my attention, her personality and the way she handle things is one of the reasons that Desperate Housewives is one of my favorite TV series. The sundays I've a 8pm curfew thanks to this lady. She´s really hardcore. Sha can do everything, with her ellegance and sarcastical diplomacy, all I can say is that Marcia Cross is a big asset to DH and for the american television.

she plays bree on desperate housewives
Marcia Anne Cross is a very talented emmy award winning actress who plays 'perfect/desperate' Bree Van De Kamp Hodge on desperate housewives. she portrays Bree so perfectly! I love it how she could make Bree so cold then in real life be so easy-going and kind, (and laugh. bree can't lol). and, while she was pregnant with Eden and Savannah, (her twin daughters) she still acted until she was ordered to bed rest. now, she has to act and raise her daughters. the question now is: what will she do after DH? we'll need to wait and see!

Let me just start out by saying that I absolutely love Marcia Cross as an actress. I think that she is such a wonderful and talented actress. I first became a huge fan of hers' when I saw her on the TV show Everwood. Marcia Cross is the reason that I decided to watch Desperate Housewives when it started, and Marcia's character, Bree, has always been my favorite character on the show. She plays the role of Bree perfectly. Marcia is so good at doing a wide range of acting, whether she's doing dramatic or comedic material, she always does it perfectly. Like I said at the beginning of my review, I absolutely love Marcia Cross as an actress, and I can't wait to see what her career has in store for her.

Marcia Cross is so amazing. She shines on screen. She is very talented. She is a very devoted actress. She continued to film Desperate Housewives, while she was 5 months pregnant with twins. She is very pretty. She married Tom Mahoney in June 2006. They were engaged since August 2005. They had twins Savannah and Eden on February 20, 2007. They are very lucky. She gives a very amazing performance, especially on Desperate Housewives and Seinfeld. She is gifted. In Desperate Housewives, she had such strong storylines. Her character became an alcoholic, married a suspected murderer, abandoned her son in the middle of nowhere, her son came out of the closet, her daughter was sleeping with a teacher, she temporarily went through a divorce, her husband died, she dated an sex addict, she was engaged to a crazy pharmacist who killed her husband, put up with her new mother-in-law and her husband's suspected to be dead ex-wife, who ended up trying to get pregnant with him, and lost a friendship with another housewife over her suspected murderer husband. That was only in 60 episodes. She portrays the role beautifully. She is very talented. She is perfect, especially when it comes to acting.

Marcia Cross is one of the greatest actresses TV has ever seen.She is so talented and such a great actress that she brings a new look to the series.She is typical for taht role of Bree because she makes her look hilarious,mad and the best housewive of the show.She acts as the perfect stict housewive and mother but evrythin fails in front of her eyes.She wants everything to be perfect and Marcia makes Bree so believable that we think of her as a really existing woman.Marcia needs a recognition from Emmys and Golden Globes too as she has never won such a big award for her role as Bree Van de Kamp.
In the first season,Marcia Cross is not so well known actress but her performance as Bree made her popular to nearly every person in the world.She really deserves Emmy for the role but Felicity Huffman got the award although for me the performance of Marcia is better.She is also noinated for Golden Globe award but she looses again to a 'housewive'-Teri Hatcher.Teri's performance is great too but can be comparable to taht of Marcia Cross.
In the season two,none of the actreses gave such great performances as in the first season but marcia remains great.She receives Golden Globe nomination for the second year but it not recognized by the Emmy voters.
The first part of the third season,Marcia is flawless but her pregnancy keeps her apart from the show.
Truly,one of the greatest actresses nowadays that can be comparable to the big screen actors.

What more can I say?
I simply think she's an amazing woman of classic beauty. And really intelligent and funny, too!
She herself says not to be like her desperate houewives caracter 'Bree van de Kamp' at all and calls her "Martha Stewart on Steroids."
I think it's really impressive that she finished her psych studies while shooting tv-shows.
I really recommend to watch a couple of interviews with her on youtube. com or whatsoever. I think she is really delightful and I hope to see her in many more movies and tv-shows!

She's a good atress for Desperate Housewives. Her role as Bree van de Kamp is nice, a very troubling one at that because Andrew has rocked her world and Rex has problames with his health and sex life.
She's beautiful, but yet I'm too young so I'm not taht attracted to her. She's a great actress and knows how to act. P.S. her crying in DH Season i finale sounded like laughing, but anyways....
I hate George. She was attracted to that anti-handsome person. He's so creepy, yuck. But the pefect person to annoy Bree. She did a nice job with him. Spoilers Ahead BE WARNED And she shot his toe off! I love Bree!

She is with no doubt one of the best TV series actresses nowadays! She is great looking even though ahes not in her 20's anymore, and she is incredibly talented... she proved to be a great actress deserving to be in a big show as one of the main charachters... she would probably handle herself really great if she had her own show, and would problably have grat ratings in her own ahow too!
I think tha when Desperate Housewives is done, Marcia should have her ouw show, so she can really ahow her talents and skills without having to share air time with so many other co-stars.

Very talanted actress that is pregnant and plays Bree. It was very interesing to describe her part between my friends. Everybody loves her because she's a little crazy, maybe not a little, but... evrybody likes her! Looking back on her past I wish her luck and happiness with her husband. Isn't it dangerous to born in such an age?
