Eva Ionesco (born on July 18, 1965) is a French actress, born in Paris, France. She is the daughter of photographer Irina Ionesco.

At the age of 5, Eva becomes her mother's favourite photo model. Irina Ionesco's erotic photo of her young daughter Eva have been a source of controversy since they first appeared in the 1980s. Eva also modeled for other photographs such as Jacques Bourboulon.

Eva Ionesco made her movie début at the age of eleven in 1976, playing a child in Roman Polanski's movie Le Locataire. A short time later she was cast in lolita roles for polemical soft porn movies of the mid seventies like Spermula and Maladolescenza.

In the eighties, she attended the prestigious acting school 'Amandiers', directed by Patrice Chéreau and Pierre Romans. With her glamorous look and high pitched voice, she soon became a familiar face as second role actress for the young french cinema.
