Those of you that are familiar with Desperate Housewives will immediately recognize this lovely redhead as Dana Delany. Even though she’s featured as a pivotal cast member, she’s never actually been a “housewife.” According to reports, she’s in no hurry to get hitched either. When asked about the subject she had this to say, “I have tried hard all my life not to be a desperate housewife. I grew up with 70s feminism and I try to hold true to those principles. A job is often a better bet than many men, and more fulfilling.”
