History
Born Eve Turner in Atlanta, Georgia,[2] Turner was a high-profile pin-up model in the 1950s, and was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month in June 1955. Her unbilled film debut was in Artists and Models (1955). She worked frequently as a photographic model for Russ Meyer after their marriage, appeared in the film Operation Dames (1959), and took a lead role in Meyer's 1960 exploitation film Eve and the Handyman.
Eve Meyer served as producer (or associate or executive producer) on Meyer's 1960s and early 1970s films, including Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970). She was a successful business woman at the time of her death in the Tenerife disaster in 1977 in which two 747 jets collided on takeoff.[3]
