Eva Marcille

thumb Eva Marcille Pigford (formerly Sterling; born October 30, 1984) is an American actress, fashion model and television personality. Quotes Being that I was the shortest girl on my season, and the idea of a Black girl and this short in the modeling business, it’s unheard of. It will never happen We were kids trying to find our dreams realized and actualized by a woman who believed could do it for us Housewives, I mean — I don’t know what is going on in someone’s life unless the producers tell me. It’s a part of how this thing works That environment could not exist without producers aiding and embedding what was going on And if she could see it in us, then the world could see it in us because the world sees it in her. So it was just a TV show to win a competition. What I will say is I will never fail to thank Tyra. What Tyra set out to do in this business, I will always say — and especially for Top Model, initially — she set out to change the world; to change what the modeling industry looked like, sound like, felt like and expected. And she did that for me.
