This former A- list mostly television actress who starred on a long running network dramedy has been in the news within the past month talking about something other than acting.

Apparently there is also a se-x tape she made about a decade ago that is making the rounds.

Marcia Cross says her anal cancer is linked to HPV and husband’s throat cancer

(CNN)Marcia Cross wants to end the shame surrounding anal cancer.
The “Desperate Housewives” star appeared on Wednesday’s episode of “CBS This Morning” to discuss her diagnosis more than a year ago.

Cross, 57, said it came about as a result of a routine digital rectum exam during a visit to her gynecologist.

“I was so not thinking anything was wrong because I didn’t have any symptoms, and she gave me an exam and came around and said, ‘Well, I just want you to know, whatever it is it’s curable,'” Cross said. “It was like ‘What? What are you talking about?'”

Cross is talking about her cancer battle to help destigmatize the disease.

“I know that there are people who are ashamed,” she said. “You have cancer. Should you then also feel like ashamed like you did something bad because it took up residence in your anus?”
Her husband, Tom Mahoney, was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2009.

Doctors now suspect that Cross’ cancer and Mahoney’s came from the same type of human papillomavirus, known as HPV.- Source
