Felicity Huffman was spotted for the first time since she was bailed from jail for her alleged involvement in an explosive college admissions cheating scandal.
The Desperate Housewives actress peered out from her LA Hollywood Hills home with a stony face and an icy glare on Thursday.
She'd been holed up inside her sprawling home since Tuesday evening when she was released from jail after posting $250,000 bond and surrendering her passport.
The 56-year-old star is accused of paying $15,000 disguised as a charitable donation to scam 'charity' Key Worldwide Foundation to help her eldest daughter cheat on the SAT.

Huffman has been charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud for paying $15,000 disguised as a charitable donation to have someone correct her eldest daughter's SAT exam
In December 2017 her daughter Sofia Grace Macy, 18, took her SAT college admission test at a separate testing site instead of taking it at her school - Los Angeles High School of the Arts.
There someone changed the answers on her test, helping her score a 1420 out of 1600, a 400-point improvement from her PSAT results just one year prior.
Soon after the proctor was paid $40,000 by Key Worldwide Foundation, the same organization that Huffman would later give a $15,000 donation to, according to the documents.
Charging documents state that both Huffman and her husband, actor William H Macy, agreed to the plan to help daughters Sofia. They allegedly discussed using it again for their second daughter Georgia, 16, but decided against it.
Huffman, along with actress Lori Loughlin and her husband, are among 50 people who have been accused of paying bribes and cheating to get their children into America's top colleges.
Huffman has been charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud. A magistrate judge ordered the actress to restrict her travel to the continental US and she surrendered her passport to the court.

She's scheduled to appear in court on March 29th in Boston.
She was arrested at 6am on Tuesday when seven FBI agents showed up at her Hollywood Hills home, drew their weapons, and ordered the actress to come out and surrender.
Huffman, her husband, and their two daughters were asleep inside the home when agents arrived.
Loughlin was also charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud for allegedly paying $500,000 to get their daughters Olivia Jade, 19, and Isabella, 20, into the University of Southern California.
The scheme worked in several ways. First, parents would pay obtain a medical document which said their child needed extra time to complete either their SAT or ACT test. Once they got it, they would take the test in one of two centers that was controlled by the scheme's 'mastermind' Rick Singer. One was in Hollywood and one was in Texas.

Singer paid off Mark Riddell, a 'really smart' Florida college prep teacher who would fly to the test locations when a child was due to take it and either sit it for them or correct their answers once they had finished. The doctored tests were then sent on to be graded.
The second part of the scheme involved creating fake athlete profiles for kids to get them athletic scholarships to schools they would not have gotten into on their grades alone.
Singer allegedly had several sports coaches from various colleges around the US on his pay roll to facilitate this part of the scheme.
The Schools involved in the nation-wide scheme included Yale, Stanford, Georgetown, USC, and UCLA

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
