Eva Marie Saint, ‘North by Northwest’ Star, Dies at 102

SO THE PART THAT GOT ME IS THIS EVA MARIE SAINT ACTUALLY MADE IT TO ONE HUNDRED AND TWO WHICH IS HONESTLY INCREDIBLE BECAUSE MOST HOLLYWOOD PEOPLE CANNOT HANDLE A NORMAL LIFESPAN LET ALONE THAT AND SHE PASSED AWAY TUESDAY AT HER HOME IN LA. SHE WON THE OSCAR WAY BACK IN 1955 FOR ON THE WATERFRONT WITH MARLON BRANDO AND WAS LEGITIMATELY THE OLDEST LIVING OSCAR WINNER UNTIL NOW. SHE WAS THAT ICONIC SPY IN NORTH BY NORTHWEST AND LATER PLAYED SUPERMAN’S MOM IN THAT 2006 MOVIE WHICH IS JUST SUCH A WILD CAREER SPAN. SHE WAS THE REAL DEAL FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF TELEVISION BEFORE IT ALL GOT SO LOUD AND FAST LIKE THIS CLUB TONIGHT. SHE KEPT ACTING OFF AND ON FOR DECADES. ANYWAY DID YOU SEE WHO JUST WALKED IN?

THIS IS GOING TO BE EVERYWHERE TOMORROW BECAUSE EVA MARIE SAINT HAS DIED AT ONE HUNDRED AND TWO YEARS OLD IN LOS ANGELES. SHE WAS A TOTAL LEGEND WHO WON THE ACADEMY AWARD FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS FOR HER ROLE IN ON THE WATERFRONT IN THE FIFTIES AND PEOPLE STILL TALK ABOUT HER PERFORMANCE AS EDIE DOYLE BECAUSE SHE BROUGHT SO MUCH SENSITIVITY TO THAT MOVIE. SHE PLAYED THE COOL BLONDE SPY IN HITCHCOCK’S NORTH BY NORTHWEST AND ALSO POPPED UP AS CLARK KENT’S ADOPTIVE MOTHER IN SUPERMAN RETURNS WHICH SHOWS HOW SHE JUST KEPT WORKING FOREVER. IT IS RARE TO SEE SOMEONE STAY IN THE GAME THAT LONG AND ACTUALLY REMAIN A CLASSIC NAME WITHOUT ALL THE DRAMA WE USUALLY HEAR ABOUT. ANYWAY THAT IS THE STATE OF THINGS.

Eva Marie Saint, the Oscar-winning actress known for roles in On the Waterfront and North by Northwest, has died at her home in Los Angeles at age 102.
