Viewers 'Desperate' for Latin flair
BUENOS AIRES -- Araceli Gonzalez saunters across the sidewalk in pale pink pumps and a matching silk robe, chatting amiably with her assistant and garnering gawks from the grips. With her long legs, ivory skin and considerable cleavage, she is, physically speaking, the polar opposite of Gabrielle Solis. "When they told me they wanted me for the Eva Longoria role, I couldn't believe it, because I don't look anything like her," says Gonzalez, who stars as Gabriela Solis on Amas de Casa Desesperadas, the Argentine version of ABC's Desperate Housewives. The show has been an instant hit here since its Aug. 30 premiere on Canal 13, when 1.5 million viewers tuned in -- quite a feat considering its 11:30 p.m. Wednesday time slot and the fact that Argentina has a population of 38 million.
