''For photo shoots, normally you agonize for weeks over ideas,'' says White. ''But because I was confirmed for this [job] the day before, everything was very quick.'' And ridiculously early: The Desperate Housewives star was only available between the red-eyed hours of 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. as a result of her strict television schedule. But White wasn't thrown by the brutal call time. ''We all get up early anyway, and Eva was just a joy to work with. Being around her spirit is infectious.''
