Early Years and Childhood

Eva Amurri was born in New York City on March 15, 1985 as Eva Maria Livia Amurri. Franco Amurri, her father, was an Italian film director, and Susan Sarandon, her mother, was an actress from the United States.

Susan’s maternal ancestors were Italian, therefore Eva grew up in an Italian household. Her ancestors are from Italy, England, Ireland, Germany, and America.

Both of Amurri’s parents worked in the American film industry, thus she grew up in an environment that encouraged her to pursue acting.

Eva was an excellent student who aspired to be an astronaut when she grew up, just like every other schoolchild. She chose to become an actress instead of a mathematician since she disliked math and acting was her first love.

Amurri was a tomboy growing up, and her mother, Susan, trimmed her hair herself. Eva used to steal sweets from movie sets as a child and conceal them in her room because sugar was forbidden in the Amurri household.
