Eva - 2007 |
"Home Alone" |
I believe there was some kind of foreshadowing that in the movie “Something About Eve,” Bette Davis would utter her famous end of career tag, “Fasten your seat belts…it’s going to be a bumpy night.”
Those 1950 papier mache’ seatbelts would have done nothing to subdue my beautiful Eva (AY-VAH) … well, at least in her toddler years. You have never met a child so loving, giving and jovial even to this day, yet so full of gleeful mischief, you wanted to find a nice home for her. She would pick pocket cosmetics, lipstick preferably, pilfer it from your bag and draw Picasso-like masterpieces on white canvas doors, or your rug. Shampoo would disappear from bathrooms and emptied in the toilet. One day I heard her banging a cabinet with a child-lock on it in the dining room, and in half-Houdini, half-Jaws (James Bond) fashion, she broke the lock, and with a cherubic grin, one by one, dropped saucers and cups with the greatest of ease onto the floor. |
She knocked out the same tooth with a plastic fork during dinner, necessitating a pre-school root canal. If you could survive Eva’s toddler years, you could survive the apocalypse.
My favorite memory of Eva was Christmas Eve ’09, when we found her, passed out on my bedroom floor, with a whole ring of orange lipstick drawn in a circle around her baby lips. Yeah, “I’m so glad I called that guy.”
Eva's voice, acting and spirit bring so much joy every day, and following in her sister Valentina's footsteps, enjoys a pretty hefty acting and vocal resume. She knows how to put lipstick on now, with liner.
