Oscar winner Eva Marie Saint, the classic Hollywood star of “On the Waterfront” and “North by Northwest,” has died at 102, a long life that outlasted the studio era she helped define.

Just The News reports that the actress died Tuesday at her home in Los Angeles of natural causes, surrounded by family and loved ones.

Her representative informed Deadline of the death. She was 102.

Saint was born on July 4, 1924. She became one of the last living links to mid-century American film, when major studios still built careers on craft, restraint, and stories that reached a mass audience.

Brando, Grant, and the roles that made her name

Audiences knew her best as Edie Doyle in “On the Waterfront,” opposite Marlon Brando’s Terry Malloy. Both actors won Oscars for those performances.

She later starred with Cary Grant in “North by Northwest,” another landmark of classic Hollywood suspense. The two films fixed her place in the era’s top tier, serious drama on one side, elegant thrills on the other.

Television honored her as well. In 1990 she won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Special for “People Like Us.”

A 65-year marriage and a family that stayed close

Away from the screen, Saint’s private life was marked by rare steadiness in a business that often discards it. She was married to director Jeffrey Hayden for 65 years. He died in 2016.

She is survived by her children, Darrell and Laurette; grandchildren Eli, Tyler, Molly, and Stella; and great-grandchildren Arlo and Finley. The representative’s account to Deadline said she died at home with family and loved ones around her.

That ending fits the record she left: long work, durable marriage, and a final chapter spent with the people who knew her off-camera.

Hollywood still chases novelty and noise. Careers like Eva Marie Saint’s remind a distracted culture what lasting screen work, and a steady home life, used to look like.
