Eva Longoria has revealed that her older sister is the most important person in her life.

The Desperate Housewives actress says that nobody makes her happier than Elizabeth, who was born 37 years ago with Down's syndrome.

"I've met so many amazing people but no one comes close to my own sister, Elizabeth," Longoria told The Mirror. "She is and always has been the absolute brightest light of my family's life. Whatever I do, Elizabeth is proud of me. Hers is the first face I want to see when I go home. She's just the most special, inspirational person."

"When people walk into a room, Elizabeth's face lights up because she's just so delighted with life," she added. "She gives off this warm glow that everybody responds to. Elizabeth is such a positive person who completely believes in herself and everyone else."
