In 2010, LaRue reprised her role as Maria temporarily on January 5 for All My Children's 40th anniversary.[7]
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.

In the fall 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
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 Los Angeles Police Department 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.[8]
LaRue is a third cousin to Jane Fonda.[9]
LaRue revealed that when she was 8 months pregnant with her daughter Kaya, back in 2001, she was supposed to fly in one of the planes which hit the Twin Towers on 9/11, but she changed her flight the night before, so she could sleep in.
