Biography
The daughter of actress
Susan Sarandon and Italian filmmaker Franco Amurri, Eva Amurri began acting at the age of seven. Her first film appearance was in the political satire
Bob Roberts, a pet project by her mom's partner,
Tim Robbins. Amurri then accompanied Sarandon in several films, including
Dead Man Walking, where she portrayed her mother's character of Sister Helen at age nine. After breaking out on her own as Sara Livey in the independent comedy-drama
Made-Up, she gained some attention as Ginger Kingsley in
The Banger Sisters, where she appropriately plays the daughter of
Susan Sarandon's Lavinia. Amurri then earned a role in the coming-of-age drama
Saved (2003). ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
