We had a different actress in mind, a white actress, and that deal fell through. Alfre is a little bit older than our gals, but she just has a stunning face.

Desperate Housewives

Certain actresses really don't like to wear bras. And we try to accommodate them as much as humanly possible.... So we've done a lot of blurring.

I love the idea of a beautiful neighborhood that represents the very best of American values, but also as a fun backdrop to some darker, deliciously sneaky things going on in people's lives.

My dream is to get someone like Carol Burnett on the show.

I got to have a TV show that really was the talk of the nation for a while there. So I'm a very lucky guy.
