Eva Griffith
- Actress
- Soundtrack
Eva Griffith's parents met on the set of
Tyrone Guthrie's production of the
William Shakespeare play "A
Midsummer Night's Dream." Her father,
Kenneth Griffith, was playing
Oberon, and her mother, Doria Noar, was
playing Mustard Seed. Eva was born in 1962 in London. She
made her acting debut as the daughter of
Richard Burton and
Elizabeth Taylor in
Divorce His - Divorce Hers (1973),
which was filmed in 1971. By age eleven, Eva's film career had taken
her around the world; she filmed Divorce His - Divorce Hers in Rome,
Italy, and Munich, Germany, and she filmed
Ride a Wild Pony (1975) in
Sydney, Australia. As she grew older, Eva began working less in film
and more on television and theater. During the early 1980s, she
performed in several productions in the London West End. In 1988, over
a decade after Divorce His - Divorce Hers, Eva appeared in her last
film to date, co-starring again with Elizabeth Taylor in
Young Toscanini (1988).
As of this writing (2008), Eva is a member of The Lions Part, a
London-based theater company, and is working towards the publication of
her Ph.D. thesis.
