Eve Lindley

Eve Lindley (born January 12, 1993) is an American actress and model who has rapidly emerged as a distinctive voice in contemporary television and independent cinema. Born in Danbury, Connecticut, she grew up in a bilingual household with an American father and a Cuban mother, and she was the youngest of three sisters, a dynamic that shaped her early sense of identity. Her parents’ divorce when she was two led to joint custody, and by seventh grade she was living full‑time with her father, whose support proved crucial when she began her gender transition during high school. Lindley’s transition was met with acceptance within her family, a factor she later credited for giving her the confidence to pursue a career in the public eye. Before stepping onto a set, she held a variety of jobs—including costumemaking, retail sales at Barneys New York, barista work, and dog‑walking—experiences that grounded her work ethic and exposed her to the fashion world, where she eventually modeled for high‑end retailers. Her breakthrough came in 2016 when she made her film debut in All We Had, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and earned her critical notice for her authentic portrayal of complex emotion. The same year she was honored by Out magazine as part of its influential OUT100 list, cementing her status as a prominent transgender figure in media. Lindley’s television career accelerated with her casting as Simone in AMC’s Dispatches from Elsewhere, a surreal drama that paired her with veteran actors such as Jason Segel, Sally Field, and André Benjamin, and highlighted her ability to blend vulnerability with eerie mystique. Since then she has continued to select projects that challenge gender norms and expand representation, while also advocating for trans visibility through public speaking and activism. Her growing body of work reflects a commitment to nuanced storytelling, and she remains a compelling example of how personal truth can translate into powerful artistic expression.
