Felicity Huffman on Her Cinderella Night  3/11/06

Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman insists she turned back into "a pumpkin" after attending the glitzy Oscars ceremony on Sunday (05MAR06).

Huffman admits she felt like the heroine of fairytale Cinderella at the glittering ball - where everything goes back to normality when the party is over.

But the blonde screen star didn't mind returning to "pumpkinhood".

She says, "I think I turn back into a pumpkin and that is really great. I love my pumpkinhood.

"I mean, my God, I was sitting in the front row. That was astounding.

"I was sitting next to Terrence Howard and his son Campbell. I was sitting in front of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. I was sitting in front of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. I don't know what the hell I am doing there."
