Biografía

In November 2017, Cross was diagnosed with anal cancer during her annual checkup with her gynecologist. Her doctor administered a digital rectal exam and immediately sent her to a colon and rectal surgeon. Two biopsies later, doctors confirmed that she had anal cancer, and started her on six weeks of radiation and chemotherapy. After three months of treatment, she decided to share her story publicly. Cross started with an Instagram post where she asked for advice on managing hair loss from cancer, and eventually opened up about the disease. Now she is in remission and has a low chance of a recurrence.

Was 7 months pregnant with her twins Savannah and Eden when she completed filming the third series of Esposas desesperadas (2004).

Longtime companion of Richard Jordan, until his death in 1993; since then, she did not date anyone seriously, until her engagement in 2005.

Her friend, Dana Delany, was the original choice for the role of Bree Van de Kamp on Esposas desesperadas (2004). Delany was later cast as Katherine Mayfair.

Received her Bachelor's degree in Acting from the Juilliard School in New York City (1984).

[on the huge success of Esposas desesperadas (2004)] The show has only been on, for like, five minutes; give it some time to settle in.

[on Madonna] We used to swim at the same pool. She'd get out and put all this jewelry on - and I'd go home with my wet hair. (In Style magazine, September 2006)

I think beauty comes from being happy and connected to the people we love.

I'm really thrilled that I met someone that I want to spend the rest of my life with.

I never thought I would live Kimberly Shaw down. So the fact that I've got another character, very different, under my belt is great.
