In 1910 she was the highest paid vaudeville performer sometimes earning as much as $3500.00 per week.
In the 1930s she lost her sight due to Cataracts, and old pal Sophie Tucker paid for the surgery which restored her sight.
The only surviving Eva Tanguay film is The Wild Girl (1917), which is archived at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Eva Tanguay was a major Vaudeville star and she also appeared on Broadway in six productions between 1895 and 1909. Tanguay appeared in "The Ziegfeld Follies of 1909," her final Broadway show. This edition also starred Sophie Tucker, Lillian Lorraine, and Nora Bayes.
Eva Tanguay made only one recording. In 1922 she recorded her signature song, "I Don't Care." The recording survives.
