Eve Curtis, also known as Lisa Eve McKim, hails from Marion, Ohio, where she was recognized from an early age as a natural performer and leader. Her eighth-grade teacher predicted a bright future, writing 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, Eve's family relocated to Long Beach, California, where her father established a successful real estate career. She attended Woodrow Wilson High School and later Platt College, studying production art.
After briefly working in the advertising industry in her early twenties, Eve's passion for acting led her to study with Lynette Katselas at the Beverly Hills Playhouse, where she was classmates with notable actors such as Brandon Lee, Jason Gould, Faith Ford, and Jane Leeves. Throughout her twenties and thirties, Eve worked extensively in Los Angeles theatre as an actor, producer, and writer, collaborating with companies like Theatre Rapport, West Coast Ensemble, Tabula Rasa, LATC, Women Artists Group, The Attic Theatre, Beneath Broadway, and Write Act Repertory.
Following a hiatus from show business in her late thirties, during which she developed other business ventures and creative projects, Eve returned to the industry, focusing on film and television. 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 went on to work 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). Eve obtained her SAG card in 2007 and 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). She worked on the first three seasons of the show, relishing the opportunity to be surrounded by tremendous talent and to learn and grow on set each day.
Subsequently, Eve 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, and is also a licensed California Realtor, specializing in architectural and resort properties.
