Ava Tate

Eva Tate is a former French movie star, colleague of Sander Cohen, revolutionary, and Rapture celebrity. She was originally going to be a fairly significant character (voiced by Juliet Landau, who also voiced the Little Sisters in BioShock) but her speaking roles were removed. It is possible that she may return in future DLC content, Landau was allegedly told that she might still appear in the "bonus materials." Tate was to "host the entire game" according to Landau. The exact meaning of this remains unknown.

There are several references to her in Bioshock 2, a poster for a movie called the Black Dream starring Sander Cohen, a brand of alcohol called Tate Merlot, and a loading screen quote in the multiplayer mode. "It's no wonder Cohen closed the Fort, darlings. Theater is dead...Why play the voyeur when ADAM can make you a star?"
