Eva Marie Saint, the Oscar- and Emmy-winning star best known for playing a New Jersey dockworker’s grieving sister in the Elia Kazan drama “On the Waterfront” and an elegant government agent in the Alfred Hitchcock thriller “North by Northwest,” died Tuesday.She was 102.
Saint’s death was confirmed by her representative, Jeff Sanderson, who said she died of “natural causes surrounded by family and loved ones.”Saint was one of the last surviving luminaries of the Golden Age of Hollywood, revered by generations of cinephiles for the understated complexity of her most celebrated performances.In a career that started in the early 1950s and spanned more than seven decades, Saint appeared in just more than 20 films.She was a prolific television performer, collecting five Emmy nominations and winning one for the 1990 miniseries “People Like Us.”Saint collaborated with some of the most fabled performers and filmmakers of the classical era.
She co-starred with Marlon Brando, Cary Grant, Paul Newman, Gregory Peck and Elizabeth Taylor in movies from giants like Hitchcock, Kazan, Vincente Minnelli and Otto Preminger.Eva Marie Saint poses with her husband, Jeffrey Hayden, at the world premiere of "Winter's Tale" in New York on Feb.11, 2014.Andy Kropa / Invision/AP fileThe entertainment industry changed dramatically during Saint’s life, but she persevered through each new chapter with a smile and a sense of humor, even appearing as Clark Kent’s adoptive mother in “Superman Returns,” released in 2006.“You know how to stay young?
