Eve Pollard is an English actress, author, journalist and a former editor of several tabloid newspapers. In her early years, Pollard (then known as Pollock) lived in Maida Vale, London, with her Jewish parents and younger twin brothers, Peter and Ralph Pollard, who now live in Southern California. Her mother had left Austria in 1938 and her Hungarian father arrived with the Free French in 1940. She attended an all-girls Catholic school in south London where she developed a love of journalism. Her career began at Honey magazine where she was the tea girl, eventually becoming fashion editor in 1967, moving to the Daily Mirror the following year. She was the second female editor, in modern times, of a national newspaper in the UK, editing the Sunday Mirror from 1987–1991 and the Sunday Express from 1991-1994. Wendy Henry, former editor of the News of the World and the Sunday People, was the first.
In 1985 she was launch editor-in-chief of ELLE magazine in the US and edited the Sunday magazine for the News of the World and You magazine for the Mail on Sunday. She has also worked in television as features editor of TV-am (1982–1983) and devised the series Frocks-on-the-Box for the ITV contractor TVS during the 1980s, a series which ran for two thirteen-part series. She has often appeared on radio and TV and was a regular participant in Through the Keyhole. In 2003 Pollard was a guest panellist on the award winning talk show Loose Women. She has been a member of the Competition Commission’s Newspaper Takeover Panel, appointed in 1999.
