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 (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 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. Show less «
