You’ve undoubtedly heard of Felicity Huffman, whether or not you’re a fan of her work.
But nevertheless, scandal aside, Huffman was a force to be reckoned with in theentertainmentindustry.
And really, her life has been pretty interesting, even before all the drama took place.
Huffman is well-known for her many acting roles, but she’s also so much more than that.
“I went, Oh my gosh, I’m going to get my childhood home.
I’m so happy!
I’m so happy!”
(Here’sthe real reasonDesperate Housewivesended after Season 8.)
We’ve actually been doing this series for 56 years," she joked.
It’s time to go!'"
Too badaDesperate Housewivesrevival will never happen.
And as tragic as that was for her, she got through it.
She also hinted at having suicidal thoughts and struggles.
Fortunately, Huffman’s circle of family and friends were able to help her through it.
“That dark time changed me, I think, for the better.”
No one is immune to depression, including celebs like Huffman.
“I’m the luckiest guy, I won the lottery,” he said.
“I love being married to Felicity.
I love being married, I really like it.
Although I have screwed it up before.
I just got lucky.
There’s no secret, I got lucky.”
Huffman felt the same, adding, “I lucked out, I married Bill Macy.
But that’s as far as I can go.
I don’t know how you make marriage work, I just got lucky.”
Of course, she loved Macy, but did she really want tomarryhim?
In an interview withTribune News Service,Huffman explained exactly how she felt.
When she explained further, Huffman added, “I thought I’d disappear.
Men’s stock when they get married goes up.
Women’s stock goes down.”
Still, she eventually married Macy and was truly happy to do so.
Obviously, that didn’t happen, but Huffman’s concerns were still totally valid.
“When I am home I want to be away,” she continued.
“When I am away I want to be home.
“I now try and accept my limits.”
“They are 13 and 15 now, and I am still enjoying them.
Can you believe it?”
Huffman said, laughing.
“So I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, you’re hysterical now, I get it.
Oh, now you’re really sad.
Oh, now you’re really happy.’
I’m like, ‘Cool, bring it.'”
Huffman was uniquely prepared to parent teens, and that’s something not everyone can say.
AsNPRreported, a March 2019 FBI investigation known as “Operation Varsity Blues” was revealed.
Huffman expressed plenty of guilt and remorse for her actions.
According toNPR, she stated as much to the court before her sentence was announced.
“I have done more damage than I could have ever imagined,” she said.
“I take full responsibility of my actions and making amends with my crime.
I will deserve whatever punishment you give me.”
Obviously, Huffman’s involvement in the scandal was a big deal.
And honestly, that’s understandable.
Huffman might have wanted the best for her daughter, but her actions were immoral and totally privileged.
The letters were meant to vouch for Huffman’s character, and Longoria’s letter did just that.
“Until one day, Felicity told the bully ‘enough’ and it all stopped.
You know the saying, don’t do the crime if you could’t do the time.
Well, Huffman had to do the time.
Hey, at least she’s in good company.
Specifically, a source toldEntertainment Tonightthat Huffman was completing her community service hours working with The Teen Project.
Huffman wants to make it clear that she has learned her lesson from her time spent in prison.
Whether or not the public chooses to believe that is up to them, isn’t it?
Specifically, it was announced that Huffman would headline in a new ABC half-hour comedy, according toPeople.
But just how was Huffman able to land a new job so quickly?
Honestly, good for her.
