Eva was joined by other influential leading ladies including Halle Berry, Hilary Swank, and Nicole Sullivan.

"I mean I don’t think anything would be possible without those powerful women like Sherry Lansing, Halle Berry, and Hilary Swank," she continues.

Eva was named Philanthropist of the Year by The Hollywood Reporter for her work in founding Eva's Heroes, a nonprofit in her hometown of San Antonio, T.X., which provides an after-school program for individuals with developmental disabilities.

"For me, growing up all of my role models were women and that’s where I get my inspiration from and that’s where I get my motivation from so it was really fitting to get Philanthropist of the Year Award here at this breakfast because I am so inspired by women."
