Inside Eva Marie Saint's 100th birthday party! How the Oscar-winner will celebrate her milestone age with 'four generations' of family on July 4th
Eva won an Oscar for her first movie, Elia Kazan's seminal 1954 drama On The Waterfront, which starred her alongside Marlon Brando. She went on to act in Hitchcock's North By Northwest.
Her goal was Broadway, but her career started off bumpily - in 1948 she booked the only female role in what turned out to be the hit play Mister Roberts starring Henry Fonda, only to be demoted to understudy days before opening night. The movie won her an Oscar in 1955 and made her a star, propelling her into projects like the comedy That Certain Feeling opposite Bob Hope, as well as the romantic western Raintree County led by Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift. As her career progressed into the 1960s, Eva started working with the rising heavyweights of New Hollywood, including Paul Newman in the biblical epic Exodus and Warren Beatty in the tragedy All Fall Down.
