Biography
Early life
Eva LaRue is of Puerto Rican, French, Dutch and Scottish ancestry, and is a member of the Bahá'í Faith.[1]
LaRue began acting at the age of 6 and was later a teenage beauty queen. She won Danfranc Productions Miss California Empire 1984 title at the state pageant held in Irvine, CA.
Career
From 1993 to 1997 and again from 2002 to 2005, LaRue portrayed Dr. Maria Santos Grey on All My Children.[2] She received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination in the category of "Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series" for AMC. She also received a nomination in 2004 in the category of "Outstanding Original Song" for composing the song Dance Again with You, which was used as her character's theme song during a storyline in which her character's husband became paralyzed from the waist down.
LaRue also performed in television movies over the years, appearing as Annette Funicello in a biographical movie of the former Mouseketeer and also in the adaptation of Danielle Steel's Remembrance as Princess Serena.
While on All My Children, LaRue developed a notable friendship with Sarah Michelle Gellar, who portrayed the role of Kendall Hart on the soap opera.
In the fall of 2005, LaRue began the role of Natalia Boa Vista on CSI: Miami. It was revealed in the end of Season 4 that Eva's character, Natalia Boa Vista, was the mole in the lab reporting back to the FBI. Beginning with Season 5, LaRue became a fulltime cast member.
Personal life
Previously married to John O'Hurley, she began romancing John Callahan, an All My Children co-star who portrayed her on-screen husband Edmund Grey on All My Children. Together, they co-hosted both the Miss America pageant and Lifetime's Television Weddings of a Lifetime before marrying on November 30, 1996 on the Hawaiian island of Lanai. For many years, she went by the name Eva LaRue Callahan. They have since divorced. LaRue and Callahan have one daughter, Kaya McKenna.
In August 2006, it was revealed that LaRue's sister, Nika, was one of the women photographed by convicted serial killer William Richard Bradford for his collection. She was no. 3 (out of 54 women) on the poster released by the LAPD to find living victims. Bradford would photograph women he met in bars under the guise that he would assist their modeling careers. The incident was used in a CSI: Miami episode soon after the revelation.[3][full citation needed]
LaRue is also third cousin to Jane Fonda.[4] In addition, she is the godmother of Michael Joseph, the son of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos.
She was spotted recently with co-star Jonathan Togo at a Portuguese SuperLiga game between Sporting Portugal and FC Porto, which took place on January 27 2008 at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon. They were both given a Sporting jersey prior to the game.[5]
