Eva Milichovská graduated from the Ohradní Grammar School in Prague. She did not pass the entrance examinations for the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design and consequently started as a draughtsperson for Stavoprojekt. The company soon recommended her for architectural school, in which she enrolled in 1952. After four semesters, the enthusiastic attendee of DISK Theatre performances decided to try the entrance interview for the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts, where, thanks to her architectural experience and sense for space, she captured the attention of Professor František Tröster. She graduated in 1959, but had already been given an engagement two years earlier by the Horácké Theatre in Jihlava. In 1961, Joan Brehms offered her a job at the South Bohemian Theatre in České Budějovice. Then Eva worked for a short time at the Municipal Theatre in Most before returning to Jihlava in 1969, where she remained until 1991.

She has over 200 stage and costumes designs to her name. In recent years, she has been devoting her time solely to figural painting.
