She began her career at 18 and is known for performances in a wide variety of genres, including gonzo, and for wearing glasses when performing.

Angelina is of Cuban, Chinese, English and Irish descent. She has said that she came from a "very wealthy" background, but that when she turned thirteen, her family "pretty much lost everything". She knew from an early age she wanted to enter the adult film business, as she started shooting her own porn films at age 14 using her parents' Handi-Cam. She entered the porn industry by answering an advertisement in the newspapers; her first scene was for the Shane's World series.
Angelina is known for wearing glasses during sex. She had said on film shoots she gets sent home to get them if she forgets to bring them with her, and during a visit to one AVN Awards show she wasn't recognized as she wasn't wearing her glasses. They are prescription as she is "very blind".
She took a temporary break from porn between May and November 2004 to accommodate her then boyfriends wishes, during which she returned to school and worked at Macaroni Grill in Valencia, California. Angelina soon after returned to adult films. In late 2005 Eva considered joining the US Navy but never did.
She has done mainstream work, appearing as an extra in shows such as Seventh Heaven and Cousin Skeeter.
