Hollywood was shocked by the sad news: Legendary actress Eva Marie Saint – the last survivor of Hollywood’s Golden Age – has just passed away at the age of 100 due to complications from an old-age disease. She breathed her last breath early this morning at her home in Los Angeles, surrounded by her children, grandchildren and relatives.
Eva Marie Saint was born in 1924 and had a career that spanned nearly 80 years. She won an Oscar for her role in “On the Waterfront” (1954) and left a deep impression on audiences with her role as Eve Kendall in Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece “North by Northwest” (1959).
