Eva Marie Saint Wins Supporting Actress: 1955 Oscars

[@anamariaaninha]

Today this legendary actress is turning 100 years old. I would love to see her again at an Oscar ceremony

[@joshmills5219]

The oldest living Oscar recipient for acting! Ms. Saint is a national treasure.

[@HovaNirvana]

I’d like the comment, but the number of likes on it is literally how old she is right now (99) so I’d like to keep it at that.

[@lnl3237]

Comment now...over 100!

[@Caban1970]

She gave birth to her son Darrell on the following day (April 1, 1955.)

[@brookehanley3659]

Wow! When I saw her doing those stairs all dressed up and all by herself I was impressed! I was afraid she would fall down! She looked beautiful.

[@dennismclaurin1487]

Just turned 100 This woman must be a Saint

[@GentM2015]

I can't believe she is still alive today. Incredible actress and a legend.

[@rootedsorrow]

Just turned 100 yesterday

[@midkrylegda7887]

Today she turns 100. What a legend!

[@dennismclaurin1487]

This woman must really be a Saint

[@johnriley7312]

This talented Woman turns 100 years young today

[@dayender]

She’s older than the Oscars award. Just seen her at the 90th academy.

[@jamesmonroe7751]

NOW the oldest living Oscar winner! Her speech was priceless! Never a dull moment with Eva. Waterfront. Raintree. Northwest. Sandpiper. We've bean thoroughly entertained for close to 70 years of her brilliant performances. Don't worry. Things will get better. The only supporting actress to actually go up instead of down!

[@motionsickness9610]

Not true! That honour belongs to Walter Mirisch who turned 100 on November 8 2021. He was awarded the Academy Award for Best Picture for In The Heat of The Night.

[@ezrascloset]

I love her smile. She was very beautiful. A well deserved Oscar!

[@mdonahue4683]

You said it.

[@shannonadcock-tn5kp]

Descent actress but no beauty

[@TheChannelTV-bt8em]

One would never know that On the Waterfront marked Ms Saint's screen debut. As Edie she is as much at ease before the camera as Brando and indeed, keeps up with him every step of the way. Her contribution to the finished film is immeasurable. Touching and passionate performance justly rewarded.

[@lnl3237]

She has said that all her previous work on live television steeled her for whatever might happen on a film set.

[@mca1218]

I've been a fan of hers forever. She is beauty, radiance, and wit ("I may have the baby right here!!") personified.

[@siobob1]

Happy 100th Birthday, Eva Marie Saint!

[@josephkearny5874]

What a career! She worked with Brando, Kazan, Hitchcock, Cary Grant, John Frankenheimer, Bob Hope, Gregory Peck, Jackie Gleason, Warren Beatty, Liz Taylor, Montgomery Clift, Paul Newman, Otto Preminger...she was a great guest on TMC.

[@acousticguitarfan55]

Eva Marie Saint...one of the greats! Such a class act and her acceptance speech so memorable! Love it!

[@jamest681]

She was so good in On the Waterfront. A very natural and honest performance.

[@cicerodiello1]

I met Eva Marie Saint at a screening of North by Northwest at the The Stanford Theatre in 2000. She was a true lady who sat through the entire film and did Q & A. When I shook her hand she asked where I was from. I said Australia. She spoke about having been there in 1999 for he 100h anniversary of Hitchcock’s birth.

[@lnl3237]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful encounter with a truly special artist and human being. She has had both a successful career and a fulfilling personal life. Happy for her. Happy for us.

[@mistercool3859]

Happy 100th Birthday, Eva Marie Saint!!!

A very Happy 100th Birthday to one of my idols. 💐

[@JOJO22858]

What a great, unusually honest speech for the 50's. I never knew they ever handed out Oscars in New York before? Always loved Eva Marie Saint!

[@dobazajr]

Transportation was difficult then. Some celebs were living either NYC or LA. Plus the Academy then can't afford to buy air tickets to get their nominees and guests in one room unlike today where they have sponsors.

[@PenaltyKillah]

Happy 100th birthday to an eternal legend 🙏🌊 I confess I only know her from voicing elderly Katara, but after watching her CBS Sunday Morning interview, I respect Eva a whole lot more now for choosing family over Hollywood.

[@brookehanley3659]

One of the greats who is still with us. I believe she is around 90 years old.

[@NeilReynolds-hg9gh]

100 now 👍

Ms. Saint will be 100 tomorrow (July 4th, 2024). Appropriately, she will be TCM's "Star of the Month." Her films will be featured every Thursday. Enjoy!

[@CammieInOz]

Famous Oscar speech line: "I may have the baby right here." The baby boy was born two days later. The lovely Eva is still with us at age 98. Bless her.

[@TheMrBennito]

Class act, very grounded woman and what a talent. It looks like she took the stage here without any make-up, probably also unique in those days.

Happy 100th Birthday, Ms. Saint! You made it! 😀❤️

[@viajandonagelatina4711]

She is still Alive, 4 of July of this year she will complete 100 years.

[@brookehanley3659]

Eva should have been in more but she did an Alfred Hitchcock movie that was pretty popular. Too bad she did not get Long Hot Summer Because she was pregnant at the time. Joanne Woodward was very good though.

[@HayyBooBoo4]

I really love these "Old Skool" actors, After winning the award they just gave a short acceptance speech and left the stage. However in today's era everyone just make longest speeches which feel so tirey and fake.

[@teojordan4591]

Her speech😘

[@clifftrainor6774]

Why did she win " _Supporting_ Actress"? She was the female lead in "Waterfront".

[@saulentertainment]

Cliff Trainor Because Katy Jurado was Mexican, she was the winner.

[@mrudulvemuri182]

Cliff Trainor yes she was the lead role. But the studio had decided to put her supporting actress category because they thought she had better chance of winning that.

[@lonellfletcher]

I thought it was because the story really focuses on Brando’s Terry. Everyone else I thought was a support to his main story.

[@slc2466]

@@lonellfletcher Totally agree. There are movies such as "Waterfront" that are centered around one main male character, and the female lead is a supporting role. Bravo to Ms. Saint, well deserved!

[@mdonahue4683]

@@mrudulvemuri182 Eve was also a relative newcomer to the movies too.

[@marcosvalenca]

A very fine actress. Even in today's Superman Returns.

[@invwsibleman]

that is my academy award winner right there

[@lonellfletcher]

Someone enlighten me; did the Oscars hold the ceremony in different locations simultaneously? When did it start and how long did it last? Why did it stop?

[@slc2466]

Did a little research via the wonderful "Inside Oscar" book. Looks like there was a five-year period in the 1950's wherein the Academy Awards presentation had a New York hook-up at the NBC Century Theater to go along with the Oscar show in Hollywood at the RKO Pantages Theater. Starting with the first televised awards on March 19, 1953 (for 1952 films), Bob Hope was the host in Hollywood, and Conrad Nagel was in New York. On March 25, 1954 Donald O'Connor hosted in Hollywood and Fredric March was in New York. On March 30, 1955 Bob Hope was at the Pantages and Thelma Ritter hosted in New York. On March 21, 1956 Jerry Lewis hosted in Hollywood, and Claudette Colbert and Joseph L. Mankiewicz oversaw proceedings in New York. Finally, on March 27, 1957 Jerry Lewis emceed at the Pantages and Celeste Holm hosted at the NBC Century Theater in New York. After that, I think it was a Hollywood solo venture, starting with the March 26, 1958 awards at the Pantages.

Wonderful

no, i wrote a research paper on him and during my research i came across an interview where he said that he regreted going to the oscars for accepting his role in "on the waterfront". I dont know where you got your information from.

I don't know why but she reminds me to Meryl Streep

Nope. Look at her. then look at Meryl.

Looking at older footage, movies, TV programs, interviews, western women use to be way more feminine compared to today

she looks like eva marie saint in on the waterfront...

No, it's true. He had a one-way ticket there. Wilson, on the other hand, got the title shot outdoors on the ballpark. A shame, really... Brando coulda taken Wilson apart!
