Eve Curtis, born and also known as, Lisa Eve McKim, is originally from
Marion, Ohio. From her earliest years, she was known to family and
friends as a natural performer and leader. Her eighth grade teacher
wrote in an autograph book that she expected to see "(Lisa's) name in
lights, or as the first female President". At the age of 12, her family
moved to Long Beach, California, where her father started a successful
real estate career. She attended Woodrow Wilson High School and later
Platt College, studying production art. She worked briefly in the
advertising industry in her early
20's, but gravitated strongly to her true love of acting. She studied with Lynette Katselas
at the Beverly Hills Playhouse, where her classmates included
Brandon Lee,
Jason Gould,
Faith Ford and
Jane Leeves. In her 20's and 30's, Eve
worked extensively in Los Angeles theatre as an actor, producer and
writer, with companies such as Theatre Rapport, West Coast Ensemble,
Tabula Rasa, LATC, Women Artists Group, The Attic Theatre, Beneath
Broadway and Write Act Repertory. After a stint away from show business
in her late 30's, during which time she developed other business
ventures and creative projects, Eve returned full force, concentrating
on film and television. During this time, she was fortunate to study
with and be mentored by the late
Susan Peretz, Actors Studio board member
and founder of the Third Street Theatre. Eve subsequently worked on
numerous student films, independent features and shorts, including
Weapon of Mass Destruction (2004)
and Little Losers (2004). She was
also featured regularly as a reporter on
_General Hospital (1963 TV series)_.
Obtaining her SAG card in 2007, Eve worked as a stand-in and background
performer, with one of her first jobs being a regular member of the
original Sterling Cooper secretarial pool on
Mad Men (2007). Working the first 3
seasons, she relished the opportunity to be surrounded by such
tremendous talent and to learn and grow on set each day. Shortly
thereafter, she obtained her first principal role in a major motion
picture, cast as Jogger #2 in
He's Just Not That Into You (2009).
Most recently, she worked with director
'Joe Di Gennaro' on the film Social Studies
and with Nate Golon on the web series
Generation U. Represented by her longtime agent,
Gail Marx, Eve is actively auditioning and
looking forward to her next role. She is a proud member of the
prestigious Edgemar Theatre Group, founded by
Larry Moss and
Michelle Danner. She is also a licensed
California Realtor, specializing in architectural and resort
properties.
