Biography
Whittle is a program director for Kids on Stage, a Los Angeles-based theatrical program for children— it is her blue jumpsuit-clad character on Jay Jay that has made her a household name with pre-schoolers (and their parents). She is known for her crisp manner of speaking to the talking airplanes, and this makes Whittle—who uses her married name, Evelyn Whittle Keller, when not acting—an intriguing counterpoint to the childlike talking planes.
Eve is known for her ability to whistle in strange and haunting ways. In Jay Jay's Mysteries, Eve uses her own whistling as a special effect.
Eve Whittle is a graduate of Roanoke College (BA) and Antioch University (MA). She lives in Culver City, California.
