The concept of “housewife” is not common among American women and is interpreted in a completely different way than in the vastness of our homeland. After all, each of them should first of all take place and be realized as a woman, to realize their goals and ambitions, to prove to a man his equality, wealth and invulnerability. And only then, if you have the strength and desire to create and protect home comfort. But despite all this, the series “Desperate Housewives” showed the whole world that a woman is beautiful in any role and she can handle any everyday difficulties. Be it the director of a consulting firm or an ordinary housewife. And many actresses of this series have gained wild popularity.

Each of them has its own life, but they also have something in common - this is a street called Wisteria Lane, on which they live with their families, and which keeps many secrets and secrets. The beautiful actresses who played their desperate heroines coped with this task perfectly. And it’s about them that we’ll talk with you now.
