Once described by director Bernardo Bertolucci as "so
beautiful it's indecent," Eva is the daughter of French
actress Marlène Jobert and Walter Green a Swedish
dentist.

acting school.
She performed on stage in productions such as “Jalousie
En Trois Fax” before making her film debut as the
female lead in the Bernardo Bertolucci's 2003 film "The
Dreamers", starring Michael Pitt and Louis Garrel.
In addition to playig a lead role, she also composed the
music for the film.
This debut performance brought her critical acclaim and
she has finished her second movie role in the French film,
"Arsene Lupin", directed by Jean-Paul Salomé
– co-starring Romain Duris and Kristin Scott Thomas.
Shortly after, Eva was said to have turned down a major
role in Brian De Palma's “The Black Dahlia”,
for the fear of being typecast.
In 2005, she had her first important role in Hollywood
as Sibylla of Jerusalem in the movie "Kingdom of Heaven",
her third film, as the female star alongside Orlando Bloom
and Liam Neeson and directed by Ridley Scott.
