Eve Sherston

Eve Sherston is the villainess from "House Guest," episode 1.08 of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour.

She was played by the late Adele Mara.

Eve Sherston is the wife of George Sherston, and the couple were con artists conspiring with Ray Roscoe to blackmail and extort $20,000 from John Mitchell. The set-up included goading John into an altercation with Ray, which included portraying Eve as a victim of Ray's attempted assault. The plan ended up working, as John decks Ray and he is declared dead by George.

Eve's villainous role--as well as the entire set up--was revealed in the episode's climax, when Sally confronted George at the couple's camper, which was where Sally found out that Ray is alive. The group planned to kidnap Sally as part of their plan, but they were foiled when John appeared with police. At episode's end, the evil Eve ended up arrested, along with her husband and Ray.
