4. She Acts, Too!
Eva has acted in several films and TV shows including The Young and the Restless (for which she earned two NAACP Image Awards nominations) and the TV One series Born Again Virgin. Currently, you can see Eva getting spooky on the new VH1 show Scared Famous.

Besides being close with several of the Atlanta 'Wives, Eva is friends with a lot of other notable celebs, such as Brandy Norwood.
