Before They Were Stars, They Were Soap Stars

Many years before the drama of Wisteria Lane, "Desperate Housewives" star Marcia Cross was playing Kate Sanders. Her role on "One Life to Live" lasted from 1986 to 1987. Here, she and her TV husband-to-be, played by John Loprieno, had only just tied the knot when his late wife, a character named Tina, stunned the wedding guests holding a child she claimed was his. When the marriage was declared invalid, Cross' character left town. (ABC/Getty Images)
