Eva Tanguay(1878-1947)
- Actress
Eva Tanguay was born in Marbleton, Québec, Canada, on August 1, 1878. A
stage actress early on, Eva went into vaudeville as soon as she got the
chance and performed there for years, becoming known as "The Girl Who
Made Vaudeville Famous". She was a late comer to the world of movies;
had she been born 20 years later, she probably would have been a bona
fide star on the screen. She was 38 when she appeared in her first
motion picture,
Energetic Eva (1916). Her next--and
last--film was
The Wild Girl (1917).
Eva died of a heart attack in Hollywood, California, on January 11, 1947. She was 69 years old.
