She was born Gloria Miller on August 8, 1923 in Oakland, California. Her father, Robert Stanley Miller, was a piano salesman. When she was a child her family moved to San Francisco. During World War 2 she worked at as a welder in a shipyard. Eve appeared on stage in San Francisco's Follies Bergere. She made her film debut in the 1945 musical Diamond Horseshoe. The lovely brunette landed small parts in Inner Sanctum, Beyond The Forest, and Never Fear. In an interview she said "As far back as I can remember I dreamed some day of having a Hollywood contract." Producer Ida Lupino gave her a featured role in the 1951 drama The Big Trees.
Then she costarred with Ronald Reagan in The Winning Team and with Sterling Hayden in Kansas Pacific. Unfortunately she never became an A-list star. Eve became engaged to actor Glase Lohman. The couple had an argument in July of 1955 and he told her he couldn't marry her. She was so upset that she attempted suicide by stabbing herself in the abdomen with a kitchen knife! During the 1950s she appeared on television shows like Perry Mason and Frontier Doctor. Her final role was in a 1961 episode of Coronado. As she got older she began suffering from severe depression. Tragically on August 17, 1973 she committed suicide with an overdose of pills. Eve was only fifty years old. She was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills, California.
