Eva Moore

Born in Brighton in 1870, Eva Moore built a long career as an English actress on the stage and later in film. She became known to broad audiences in Britain, and her life in the theatre stretched across major changes in popular entertainment.

She also wrote Exits and Entrances, a memoir that reflects on her family, her early life, and her years in the theatrical world. It remains a useful glimpse of an actress looking back on the culture and working life of her era in her own voice.

Moore died in 1955. Today she is remembered both for her performances and for the personal record she left of a busy life in the performing arts.
