Eva
Marie Saint (born July 4, 1924) is an American actress.
She played the blonde, graceful leading lady in many
films, starting in the 1950s.
Saint was born in Newark, New Jersey,
USA. She studied acting at Bowling Green State University,
and did some work in radio and television before winning
the Drama Critics Award for her stage role in A Trip
to Bountiful (1953).
Her first film role was in On the
Waterfront (1954) with Marlon Brando, for which she
won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Her best
known films were in the early years of her career:
A Hatful of Rain (1957) with Don Murray, Alfred Hitchcock's
North by Northwest (1959) with Cary Grant, and Exodus
(1960) with Paul Newman.
Because of the second-rate film roles
that came her way in the 1970s, Saint returned to
television and the stage in the 1980s. She has appeared
in a number of made-for-TV movies, and won an Emmy
in 1990 for the mini-series People Like Us.
Saint will play Martha Kent, the adoptive
mother of Superman, in Superman Returns (2006). Eva
Marie Saint has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame, one for motion pictures at 6624 Hollywood Blvd.,
and one for television at 6730 Hollywood Blvd.
