Eva Marcille was born to a Puerto Rican father and African-American mother. Her middle – now stage name, Marcille, is an amalgam of her grandmothers’ names Marjorie and Lucille. She attended Clark Atlanta University at Atlanta, Georgia and was granted early admission into Vanderbilt Law School before joining “America’s Next Top Model” Cycle 3. In the show, she was often criticized for being short, standing at ‘only’ 5’7’(170cm). However, this did not stop her and she went on to win the title along with a modeling contract with Ford models, a CoverGirl cosmetics contract, and a spread in Elle magazine. This win launched her modeling career, soon gracing the covers of Women’s Health and Fitness, Cosmopolitan, IONA, King, and Essence magazines. She was also featured in Jewel, In Touch Weekly, WeTheUrban,, Unleashed,, Star Magazine, Elle, Elle Girl, and Lerner Catalog, as well as modeling for CoverGirl, DKNY, Samsung, Red by Marc Ecko, and Avon. Her runway shows include Marc Bouwer Fall, ELLEgirl presents Dare To Be You: Wal-Mart Meets America’s Next Top Models, Deborah Lindquist Spring, Naqada Spring, and 8th Annual Models Of Perfection Show.

She also performed as host for “Rip the Runway”, “My Model Looks Better than Your Model” and “Hair Battle Spectacular”. Her movie credits now include “The Walk”, “Crossover”, and “I Think I Love My Wife”. Her net worth is still growing.
Aside from her acting credits, she has appeared in several music videos, such as Angie Stone’s “Baby” (featuring Betty Wright), 50 Cent’s “I Get Money” and Jamie Foxx’s “DJ Play a Love Song”. She was also mentioned in Lil’ Kim’s song, “I Know You See Me” and Missy Elliott’s “On & On”.
