Camilla Eves (born Camilla Scott, July 12, 1961) is a Canadian actress and television host.
Scott hosted The Camilla Scott Show on the Baton Broadcast System (and later the CTV television network), a daytime talk show, from 1996 to 1998. The show received a poor critical reception; the Globe and Mail wrote "What could be less fun than licking a metal pole on a January morning with a crazed Shitzu scrabbling up your pant leg? According to the mostly male TV critics of middling years who write for the papers, the answer is Camilla Scott."
Concurrent with her talk show work, she had a recurring role in the TV series Due South as Inspector Margaret "Meg" Thatcher of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police from 1995 through 1999. She credited this role for helping her receive an award for community safety from her cellphone company. In 1996, she witnessed a mugging and called 911, giving a description of the mugger and his car that led to the mugger being arrested and the stolen goods being recovered. "Maybe my role as an RCMP officer on Due South gave me the practice I needed to help in a real situation," she said.
In 2002, Scott had a voice role as Mama Bear in a television adaptation of the Berenstain Bears.
In 1994, Scott starred as Polly Baker in Mike Ockrent's Toronto production of George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin's Crazy For You at the Royal Alexandra Theatre.
Scott appeared as the lead in the Toronto production of Mamma Mia! after Louise Pitre departed on tour. She continued in the role for three years.
She starred as Khashoggi, a role that previously had always been played by a man, in the Dora Award–winning Toronto production of the Queen musical We Will Rock You. She took the role in October 2008, and remained with the show until it closed on June 28, 2009.
