Following the recommendations of her doctor, the star of television’s Desperate Housewives will be staying off of her feet.
Cross’ spokesperson, Heidi Slan, told Access Hollywood, "Marcia Cross has been put on bed rest due to the fact that she is pregnant with twins. This is a precautionary measure only."
The 44 year-old actress is pregnant for the first time. Cross married Tom Mahoney, 48, last June.
Due to the decision of the doctors, the producers of Desperate Housewives have decided to turn Cross’ home into the Bree Van De Kamp residence for two days to shoot scenes. Also, the bed rest will mean that Cross will be unable to attend the Golden Globes on January 15. The actress has been nominated for the best television actress title.
