Clara Stanton is a quiet young woman living in Hope Valley, but that hasn’t stopped her from winning the hearts of fans in her time on the show.
Eva Bourne acts as Clara Stanton on When Calls the Heart, but that’s not all that Eva Bourne is known for. The actress has spent a lot of time pursuing her career as an actress.
Eva Bourne’s acting career
According to IMDb, Eva Bourne grew up in the town of Creston, located in the East Kootenays of British Columbia. Bourne grew up with parents who encouraged her to pursue her creative passions.
Unlike many other stars, Eva Bourne did not start acting until she was an adult. After high school, Bourne had plans to become a dental assistant, but dentistry wasn’t her passion. She took a risk and moved to Vancouver to study acting instead.
Luckily for Bourne, it wasn’t long before she booked her first role. She first starred on USA Network’s Psych, and after that, the opportunities kept coming her way.

Eva Bourne has worked with many popular Hollywood celebrities already, including Owen Wilson and Juliette Binoche. With a resume this impressive, it’s no wonder she fills the role of Clara Stanton perfectly.
