O’Kelley dished that she’s even filmed a movie with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills resident bad girl Brandi Glanville.
“She was awesome and so ridiculously beautiful. She's my favorite to watch on the show because she just says whatever she feels...she tells it like it is!”
For the season premiere of Devious Maids, Longoria was the director and O’Kelley, who starred with Julia Louis Dreyfus on The New Adventures of Old Christine, said she was a true pro.
“She was so good and so in command. I love seeing female directors, just, in general...I love the girl power. But to have a female director who is also a well-known actress and beyond beautiful...and then to see her have such command of her set and be such a pro...it was just amazing to watch."
O’Kelley’s second appearance on Devious Maids airs Sunday at 10/9c on Lifetime.
