And while the Desperate Housewives alum is "a little anxious" to make her big return to TV, the insider says she has the support of her friends and family — including hubby William H. Macy.

"Hollywood has a short memory, and people have been very forgiving towards Felicity," notes the insider. "They all feel it's time for her to get back out there."

Huffman completed her entire sentence on October 25. She served 11 days out of her 14-day jail sentence in the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, Calif. Her 11-day stint was normal policy for inmates in the prison, who are down for release on weekends.

Meanwhile, fellow actress — and public face of the college scandal — Lori Loughlin is still not out of the woods. Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were also found guilty last year for their involvement in the college admissions scandal. Loughlin began her two-month sentence on October 30, while Giannulli reported to to a federal prison in Lompoc near Santa Barbara, Calif., on November 19. He has a longer sentence than his wife, facing a full five months behind bars.
