Marcia Cross Gives Birth to Twin Girls
February 22nd 2007 01:52
ONe of the stars of Desperate Housewives, Marcia Cross, has given birth to two healthy baby girls. The pair are fraternal twins (meaning they probably won't look the same), and were named Eden and Savannah. Which are lovely "un-celebrity" names, I think.
"Mother and babies are all doing well," says Cross's rep, Heidi Slan.
Marcia Cross experienced a difficult pregnancy which led to the filming of Desperate Housewives to be relocate to her house during the later stages.
Set designers painted Cross's bedroom the same color as her character Bree Van De Kamp's boudoir, and moved in furniture from the set. At the time, show creator Marc Cherry said Cross was "bored out of her mind (in bed), so she said, 'Bring the camera here – I want to act.' "
Her rep told the Associated Press that the bed rest was merely a "precautionary measure," and Cross herself said in December that she'd been having a problem-free pregnancy.
"I am absolutely, 100 percent fine," she told TV's Extra, though she admitted: "It's hard to carry around all that weight. I wake up feeling like me and then I step on the ground and I'm like, whose body is that walking to the bathroom?"
Still, she told PEOPLE in December that having babies later in life is "like a miracle ... I didn't think it would happen."
Marcia is 44.
