Happy 100th Birthday to the lovely and beautiful, and quite talented, Eva Marie Saint.

[@BeauDare-ov7py]

When I worked with Eva Marie Saint as an actor on the TV series, "Moonlighting" she had this wonderful way of including you in the scene. When I walked onto the film set, I wasn't quite sure what was going on. Then, much to my surprise, I saw Eva smile and gesture to me, and I immidiately felt relaxed and part of the scene. Her thoughtfulness was such a nice gesture. I'll always remember her kindness. Afterwards, we exchanged letters to keep in touch. Just a wonderful experience... Hollywood could take a lesson.

[@BeauDare-ov7py]

A million best wishes, Eva. Beau XX

[@lechat8533]

How wonderful to hear such beautiful things about her from a colleague. I loved watching "Moonlighting" as a teenager. Thank you for sharing :)

[@BeauDare-ov7py]

@Lechat, Many thanks for your kind words. Indeed, Eva Marie is a remarkable lady. Best wishes always.

[@dinorossi6611]

That is amazing. I saw her on Wilshire a few months ago and she was driving a MBZ . Imagine ?

[@BeauDare-ov7py]

@Dino, Many thanks for your thoughtful note. Great that you got the chance to see her. Eva is such a delightful lady. All best wishes.

[@Sibealove]

I'm so happy for Eva Marie Saint. After such an incredible life and career, it's just so wonderful that she was able to reach the milestone age of 100. I watched North by Northwest on her birthday to celebrate. Thank you for reposting this great interview! Wishing her nothing but happiness and health ❤

[@Ron71997]

So impressed with her elegance and class. What an amazing woman.

[@ogdvb]

She’s the treasure! One of the most beautiful and talented actresses ever to grace the celluloid. And even in this video at almost 90 she exudes beauty, confidence and inner peace! I wish nowadays movie stars to learn how to carry their careers and their lives with such rare dignity and stay true to themselves no matter what! ♥️👏🏼

[@jbt6007]

So beautifully grounded. Happy 100.

Incredible film, incredible performances. Watch Ms. Saint's Oscar acceptance speech...priceless!

[@thomasberman1023]

She is absolutely wonderful!!

[@drmorqWarrenProject]

WOW......... Happy 100th Birthday!!!

[@irvinemuscle]

A few years ago my friend's 100 y.o. mom had a birthday dinner party at Lawry's Prime Rib on La Cienega in L.A. Eva was there having dinner and when she heard about the 100th birthday she made a point of stopping to say hello which made my friend's mom's day....I think Eva was a youngster at 95. Long may she continue in good health and happy times.

[@lnl3237]

Great story! What a birthday gift!

[@user-wt3bk9nl5x]

[@brucekuehn4031]

Such a beautiful, natural face! Keep the ego in check and live a happy life. There is a role model!

[@gerardmackay8909]

The best advert I have ever seen for why NOT to have plastic surgery. Sharp as a tack, authentically unassuming and looking radiant at 90. What an admirable woman

[@Avery_4272]

What a kind & positive person. And not only was she great in old movies & TV, but she was wonderful later on as Maddie Hayes' mom in the TV series Moonlighting. Happy 100th, Eva Marie Saint!

[@lnl3237]

Did not remember that? Thanks.

[@jpete3027666]

I thought damn she looks amazing for 100 here. It was 10 years ago. She still looked great here for 90.

[@ashleecooks1572]

I love this woman I was mashed into the carpet as a kid when i saw her in north by northwest wanted her super power of grace and style ❤

Happy Birthday Eva Marie Saint, one of Bowling Green State University's special alumna! I have two degrees from Bowling Green State University too! Love that you came to this school following your older sister to become a teacher and eventually because of your House Father, became an actress instead. Yes you were a sweater girl for BGSU and a cheerleader for your High School in Newark, New Jersey.

[@aiai-j7i]

"Did you surprise even yourself?" "No". Great answer to a ridiculous question. She was acting, dude--it is her artform.

[@lechat8533]

Of course, she hasn`t done anything to her face. Why would she? Her face looks perfect. But others aren`t so lucky. She has been a class act from the beginning until now as she is 100 years old (born in 1924). Incredible woman!

[@ValleyoftheRogue]

That‘s a great example for a human Person who decides to age gracefully without any surgery or artificial crap.

[@NemeanLion-]

It must be kind of strange to turn 100. I wonder if they ever feel like “I could go at any moment”.

[@aiai-j7i]

Oh dear...we could all go at any moment...haven't you noticed?

[@NemeanLion-]

@@aiai-j7i Of course I know we could go any moment, but there’s a drastic difference between the lifespan of a 20 year old and a 100 year old.

[@Hudpix16]

I guess you take it easy and try to enjoy the little health you have left. I mean there’s only so much you can do at 100.

[@VictoriaRistuccia]

She looks fantastic

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

Selfishly as a film buff, of course, I wish she had done many more movies, esp. after the triumphs of Waterfront and N by NW, but what an admirable woman to choose to play her career the way she did and not make it so all-important. I don't think she ever actually played the top billed lead in a film which is what so many supporting actor Oscar winners tend to do, some have the ambition to parlay that into a major star vehicle career and some fail, and some just have other priorities. Happy 100th!
