Eve Meyer may not be a household name today, but in her prime she was a striking beauty who lit up both magazines and movie screens.
Sadly, she met her tragic end in the world’s most catastrophic aviation accident.
Before she was Hollywood’s blonde bombshell, Eve Meyer was just Evelyn Turner — a small-town Georgia girl with big dreams of making it to the world’s glamour capital.
Born on December 13, 1928, Eve Meyer went on to become one of the most captivating figures in mid-20th-century American entertainment. But her early life was marked by challenges.
Her father served in the U.S. Army, and her mother worked in textiles, but the parents separated when Eve was just 10. Despite the split, her happiest childhood memories were filled with family picnics and fishing trips.
A natural tomboy, Eve loved all kinds of sports and never shied away from a rough-and-tumble adventure. When her parents split, the young girl was sent to live with her grandmother.
Despite these hardships, Eve displayed natural charm and striking beauty, traits that would later define her career. She was a standout student, graduating high school with honors.
