Eve Hewson

Eve Hewson is an Irish actress who has carved out her own distinct identity in the entertainment industry, separate from her famous parentage as the daughter of U2 frontman Bono. Born Memphis Eve Sunny Day Hewson on July 7, 1991, in Dublin, Ireland, she grew up in a household steeped in music and the arts. Despite the enormous fame of her father, Hewson was determined to establish herself on her own merits and pursued acting with dedication, studying at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

Hewson began her acting career with small film roles while still in college. She appeared in the Sean Penn-directed film This Must Be the Place (2011) and gained early recognition in the Steven Spielberg-directed Bridge of Spies (2015). Her television breakthrough came with the Cinemax series The Knick (2014-2015), where she starred alongside Clive Owen in Steven Soderbergh’s period medical drama set in early 1900s New York City.

Her career reached a new level with the Apple TV+ series Bad Sisters (2022-present), a dark comedy-thriller created by Sharon Horgan. Hewson stars as Becka Garvey, one of five Irish sisters involved in a complex plot surrounding the death of their brother-in-law. The show became one of Apple TV+’s most acclaimed originals, earning BAFTA and SAG nominations. Hewson’s warm, funny, and emotionally grounded performance has been a standout in the ensemble cast.

With Bad Sisters establishing her as a leading lady and a strong filmography that includes work with directors like Spielberg and Soderbergh, Hewson’s estimated net worth stands at $5 million. She continues to work consistently in both film and television, choosing roles that showcase her range and commitment to her craft rather than trading on her family connections.
