'Desperate Housewives'' Marcia Cross' Grateful Platefuls
Marcia Cross' role as Bree on "Desperate Housewives" has kept her plate full this season with Bree committing adultery with Susan's (Teri Hatcher) ex-husband Karl (Richard Burgi), stealing recipes from her new neighbor Angie (Drea de Mateo) -- and now she has a plane crash in her future. Buzz is that someone close to Bree could die -- possibly her husband Orson (Kyle MacLachlan) or her son Andrew (Shawn Pyfrom).
"I would be shot if I said too much about the upcoming episode with the plane crash," Marcia tells ET. "Sometimes [exec producer] Marc Cherry says way more than one could say, but since I don't know that, I am not going to divulge any secrets. There is a big plane crash and people do get hurt because they do in plane crashes, but I can't tell you more than that."
Marcia is also hoping to keep plates full this holiday season by partnering with Feeding America, the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity, and the Chinet brand in an online initiative called Grateful Platefuls. Through the program, Huhtamaki, makers of Chinet, will donate $100,000 to Feeding America, which will provide 700,000 meals to Americans at risk of hunger. Folks can participate at www.facebook.com/mychinet. All you have to do is log onto the site, write what you are grateful for and pick a plate to display to participate in the hunger-relief program.
