Biography for Eva Marie Saint

Played one of most famous female leads in movie history, opposite Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront (1954). She certainly brought "real acting" in a time when melodrama still ran rampant in the industry. Who can forget her memorable argument scene with Brando when she says, "I didn't say I don't love you, I said I want you to get out." Eva Marie Saint is still going strong with her work. She takes the fact that she's part of film history in her stride.

Famous for having embodied fragile and disarming women, Eva Marie Saint very early won celebrity. After studying dramatic art at the University of Bowling Green, in Ohio, she quickly turns in fictions and series for television. As early as 1954, she marked the spirits by giving the reply to Marlon Brando in on the quays of Elia Kazan, a role which earned her the following year the Oscar for the best actress in a supporting role. His innovative, subtle and sober game does wonderful, at a time when many actresses take pleasure in an expansive style.

She subsequently alternates romantic comedies and sentimental dramas, until her second striking role: that of a spy torn between love and reason of state, in the famous detective comedy La mort aux trousses (1959), by Alfred Hitchcock . Now feeling ready for big productions, she invests herself in the Exodus (1960) adventure, otto prenger epic on the birth of the State of Israel for which she shares the star with Paul Newman, then In that of 36 hours (1965), a psychological drama located during the Second World War.

The time is dedicated to collaborations with large filmmakers. Twice she crosses the road to John Frankenheimer: for the Angel of Violence in 1962, then for Grand Prix in 1966. She also filmed for Vincente Minnelli (Le Chevalier des Sables, 1965), Norman Jewison (the Russians arrive, 1966) and for Robert Mulligan (for his very strange and little known Western Older, L'Homme Sauvage, 1969).

After a role in Loving, by Irvin Kershner, tragicomedia on the sexual liberation typical of the late 1960s, she highlights her cinematographic ambitions and began a career essentially devoted to the shooting of TV movies. After almost thirty years of absence, she finally returns to the cinema, endorsing supporting roles in I dreamed of Africa (2000) or in the film of Wim Wenders, Don't Come Knocking (2005), which is presented in competition official at the Cannes Film Festival. In 2005 still, she appeared in the credits of the family comedy of Wayne Wang, Winn-Dixie my best friend.

Eva Marie Saint was an American actress born July 4, 1924 in Newark, New Jersey. She won the Oscar for best actress in a supporting role for her role in the 1954 film "On the Waterfront" by Elia Kazan. She was also nominated for an Emmy for her role in the television series "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit".

During her long career, Eva Marie Saint has played in many films and television series, notably "North by Northwest" by Alfred Hitchcock, "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming" and "Rainree County". She also appeared in popular television shows, such as "The Love Boat" and "Moonlighting".

In addition to her acting career, Eva Marie Saint is also known for her activism in favor of civil rights and peace. She participated in peace marches in Vietnam and was a member of the American American Liberties Union.

Trivia

Has campaigned to ban the usage of cell phones by motorists.

Lives in Santa Monica, California.

Performed in a musical version of "Our Town" as Emily in a 1955 TV production opposite Paul Newman (his only singing role) as George and Frank Sinatra as the Stage Manager.

Although the part of Edie Doyle properly is a lead, producer Sam Spiegel listed Eva Marie Saint as a Supporting Actress in the hopes of getting her a nomination. The ploy worked, and she won the Oscar.

Won the part of Edie Doyle in On the Waterfront (1954) over Elizabeth Montgomery. Director Elia Kazan, in his autobiography "A Life," says that the choice of an actress to play the part was narrowed down to Elizabeth Montgomery and Saint. Although Montgomery was fine in her screen test, there was an air of finishing school about her. Kazan thought this genteel quality would not be becoming for Edie, who was raised on the waterfront in Hoboken, NJ. He gave the part to Saint, and she went on to win cinematic immortality, and a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, in the part.

In 1974, the Eva Marie Saint Theater was dedicated on the campus Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. Saint is a 1946 graduate of BGSU.
