Former The Young and the Restless star Eva Longoria (ex-Isabella Braa) and Universal Pictures have struck a deal that includes the company's acquisition of rights to My Daughter's Quinceaera.
Congratulations are in order for The Young and the Restless alum Eva Longoria (ex-Isabella Braa), who just struck a two-year, first-look deal with Universal Pictures, set to catapult her from the world of television into the world of motion pictures.
The first film Universal has the rights to is My Daughter's Quinceaera, a pitch from Lauren Iungerich (creator of MTV's Awkward) that Longoria and her UnbeliEVAble Entertainment producing partner, Ben Spector, will produce, reports Deadline. The film centers on an overwhelmed single father who is faced with the prospect of planning the quinceaera of his daughter's dreams.

She will next be seen in Ricardo de Montreuil's Lowriders, which premiered at this year's L.A. Film Festival. The busy actress also just launched a clothing line, which you can read more about here.
