Occupation : Film actress
Eva Amurri was born on March 15, 1985 in New York City. She grew up in a household of Hollywood royalty, including her Italian filmmaker dad Franco Amurri, actress mom Susan Sarandon, step-father actor/director Tim Robbins, TV writers aunt Valentina Amurri and grandfather Antonio Amurri. Eva is of Welsh and Italian descent.
Amurri began working alongside her mom and former step-dad Tim Robbins in films at age 7. Starting on the 1992 political satire “Bob Roberts,” Eva Amurri continued to appear in the 1995 award-winning movie “Dead Man Walking,” the 1999 coming-of-age drama “Anywhere but Here,” and the 1999 made-for-TV crime drama “Earthly Possessions.” In 2001, she and her mom also made a guest appearance on the hit TV sitcom “Friends.”
Amurri starred with her mom in "The Banger Sisters" (2002), playing Ginger, daughter to Sarandon's Lavinia, a one-time rock and roll groupie whose suburban life is turned upside down by old friend and fellow groupie, Suzette (Goldie Hawn). The movie received warm reviews, but it was Amurri that scored many of the laughs as an overly privileged teenager. Amurri had another starring role in "Made-Up" (2004), a mockumentary satirizing the reality-TV makeover craze. She played Sara, an aspiring cosmologist and daughter of an aging actress, who wants to document her mom's radical makeover. The movie received a small release, but once again, Amurri got kudos for an acting job well done. Amurri then started in the black comedy, "Saved!" (2004), co-starring Mandy Moore, Macaulay Culkin and Jena Malone. Amurri played Cassandra, the lone Jewish girl at American Eagle Christian High School, and an exuberant rebel in a group of outsiders who just want to make it to graduation. Despite being on the verge of a star career à la Kate Hudson, Amurri instead has opted to attend college, yet another sign of her determination to be her own person.
