Soon after Alice's birth, the family relocated to Los Angeles hoping to win over American audiences, following Trevor's success in Britain. But breaking into the American market wasn't easy, leading the family to return to London in 1995.

Alice first hit the stage during high school, participating in productions of "Les Misérables" and "Twelfth Night." Upon graduating with distinction, Alice moved to California. After taking a gap year to unwind and figure things out, she enrolled at The Beverly Hills Playhouse, a prestigious acting school where Hollywood stars like George Clooney, Alec Baldwin, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Patrick Swayze. Subsequently, Eve transferred to the University of Oxford to further pursue her passion for theatrical arts in her homeland.

Acting Career

Alice Eve broke into film in 2004, featuring in the film "Hawking," where the famous scientist was played by Benedict Cumberbatch, as well as in the period drama "Stage Beauty," set in 17th-century London theater.

In 2010, Eve secured the lead role in the American romantic comedy "She's Out of My League," which propelled her to widespread fame. In a fun twist, her character Molly's parents were played by her real-life parents, Trevor and Sharon. That same year, she took on another notable role as the charming nanny to Charlotte's (Kristin Davis) children in the film "Sex and the City 2," a continuation of the popular series about four friends navigating life in New York City.
