Eddie Murphy – Evie

Eddie Murphy rose to prominence through the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live as a regular cast from 1980 to 1984. As a stand-up comedian, he ranked at number ten on the list of 100 greatest stand-ups of all time on Comedy Central. Murphy took the credit for Golden Globe nominations in the films Beverly Hills Cops series, 48 Hrs., Trading Places, The Nutty Professor, and Dolemite Is My Name. He won the Golden Globe Award and received an Academy Award nomination for his performance in the musical film Dreamgirls as the soul singer James “Thunder” Early.

Early on in his career, he was inspired to become a comedian after listening to the comedy album That Nigger’s Crazy by Richard Pryor when he was 15. Not long after, he performed in a talent show at the Roosevelt Youth Center. And from then on, he established his name in the entertainment industry as one of the highly successful actors. Seemingly, the granddaughter, Evie, is going to follow in his footsteps when she’s all grown up. In a photo uploaded on her mother’s Instagram account, both mom and daughter make quite a memorable appearance.
