曾凭借《码头风云》《西北偏北》等经典影片斩获奥斯卡奖的演员伊娃·玛丽·圣特，在漫长演艺生涯中始终打破好莱坞固有惯例，现已去世。她享年102岁。
她的公关经理杰夫·桑德森表示，圣特在洛杉矶家中自然离世，家人与挚爱陪伴在侧。
这位气质端庄的金发演员，戏路宽广，从性感间谍到南方淑女，再到超人的继母均能驾驭。她的电影处女作是与马龙·白兰度合作的伊利亚·卡赞执导的《码头风云》（1954年）。圣特在片中饰演艾迪·多伊尔，其兄长被操控码头工会的黑帮暴徒杀害，角色最终与白兰度饰演的好斗码头工人特里·马洛伊产生交集。
她的表演为该片斩获八项奥斯卡金像奖之一。（她也是第四位凭借银幕处女作获得奥斯卡最佳女配角奖的演员）。在颁奖当晚，她明显怀有身孕。“我说不定现在就要把孩子生下来了！”她说道。（她的儿子达雷尔于两天后出生。）
圣特于1951年与导演兼制片人杰弗里·海登结婚，二人相伴65年，直至海登2016年去世。两人育有两个孩子。圣特曾明确表示，家庭对她而言比事业更为重要。
“曾经有位经纪人希望我多拍电影，”她在2014年接受哥伦比亚广播公司《周日早间》节目采访时表示，“我说：‘不行。就算一年拍一部，我也做不到。我有孩子，还在年幼。’他说：‘那我想你成不了超级巨星。’我回答：‘嗯，那确实。’”
那名经纪人后来怎么样了？“把他炒了。”她说道。
她始终坚持自我设定的电影拍摄上限；在塞浦路斯和以色列拍摄奥托·普雷明格的《出埃及记》时，她还带着大家庭一同前往片场。尽管没有高产电影作品，圣特在斩获奥斯卡奖后，仍参演了诸多高口碑项目，包括《雨树县》《花落遗恨天》《春残魂断》《俄罗斯人来了，俄罗斯人来了》《霹雳神风》，以及改编自《西部往事》的同名电视迷你剧。她还获得过五次艾美奖提名，并凭借1990年电视电影《我们这样的人》获奖。97岁时，她还参演了一档播客节目。
但或许她最令人难忘的表演，是在1959年阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克执导的惊悚片《西北偏北》中饰演伊芙·肯德尔——一位神秘金发女子，在与卡里·格兰特饰演的罗杰·索恩希尔一同躲避追杀的间谍时相遇。索恩希尔丝毫没有察觉，肯德尔本人就是一名秘密特工。
圣特回忆称，希区柯克对她饰演性感间谍的要求十分简单：“三点：压低声音。不要用手。全程直视卡里·格兰特的眼睛。”
希区柯克素来以对年轻女演员严苛著称，但对圣特并非如此。“我发现他是一位非常棒的导演，绅士风趣，彬彬有礼，但其他女演员的看法就不一样了。我甚至不想听关于他的那些事，”她说道。
尽管饰演蛇蝎美人对她而言是全新尝试，但圣特表示在观看自己的表演时并不意外。“不。我觉得演员们都不会感到意外，”她说，“毕竟，这就是我们的工作。”
“看起来‘太过纯真’”
圣特于1924年7月4日出生在新泽西州纽瓦克，在纽约州北部长大，就读于俄亥俄州博林格林州立大学（在校期间曾当选“毛衣女王”）。她原本计划成为一名教师，后来开始参与学生戏剧演出，由此改变了职业方向。
搬到纽约市后，她在著名表演教练李·斯特拉斯伯格创办的演员工作室受训，并获得了与亨利·方达合作出演《罗伯茨先生》的机会。但她被导演约书亚·洛根解雇；后来她得知，原因是自己被认为“看起来太过纯真”。接替她的演员是乔斯林·白兰度（马龙的姐姐）。
尽管深受打击，但她并未因此放弃演艺事业。
她在2021年接受《综艺》杂志采访时表示，刚入行时，她和一位女演员同伴会在地铁上用自创的语言交谈。“我们因为找不到工作而倍感沮丧，所以我提议我们做点什么，让别人注意到我们，”她说，“我们开始闲聊时，总能吸引一小群观众。人们会放下报纸，好奇地想：那是什么语言？”
圣特在早期直播电视领域站稳脚跟，凭借《Studio One》《固特异电视剧场》《通用电气真实剧场》和《菲尔科电视剧场》中的戏剧表演闻名。她主演了霍顿·富特的《到博特西普的旅行》的首部电视剧版本，并在百老汇重演了该角色，被《码头风云》的导演卡赞看中。
他邀请圣特与白兰度进行即兴试镜。圣特走进房间时，白兰度打开了收音机，两人开始跳舞。“他还故意掀起了我的裙子，我当时尴尬得差点哭出来，”圣特在2010年接受《圣巴巴拉独立报》采访时说道，“但卡赞看到了化学反应，他知道这能拍成电影。”
她表示和白兰度合作非常愉快。
“和他合作有点吓人，但这对电影拍摄起到了帮助作用，那就是他对他人的感知极为敏锐，”她说，“他只要看着某人或是和他们交谈，就能精准把握对方的本质。他还会和我们谈论身边的人。有时候我坐在那里会想：‘如果他都能看穿那个人，那他对我的了解肯定比我自己还多。’这让我有点不自在，但我把这种情绪用到了电影里。他闯荡过社会，而我一直被保护在家里，所以我就利用了这一点。”
《码头风云》之后，圣特参演了与保罗·纽曼、弗兰克·辛纳屈合作的桑顿·怀尔德音乐剧版《我们的小镇》，还出演了多部舞台剧。
但好莱坞向她伸出了橄榄枝，这位奥斯卡得主先后与蒙哥马利·克利夫特和伊丽莎白·泰勒（《雨树县》）、保罗·纽曼（《出埃及记》）、沃伦·比蒂（《春残魂断》）、詹姆斯·加纳《36小时》、理查德·伯顿与泰勒（《鸳梦惊魂》）、伊夫·蒙当（《霹雳神风》）、格利高里·派克（《追杀惊魂》）、鲍勃·霍普（《那个Certain Feeling》《取消我的预订》）以及汤姆·汉克斯（《对头冤家》）合作出演影片。
她的其他电影作品包括《都是戴茜惹的祸》《不要敲门》（与山姆·谢泼德合作）、《超人归来》（饰演玛莎·肯特）以及《冬日奇缘》。
在电视领域，她参演了《世界上最棒的小女孩》《蓝色月光侦探社》、双人剧《出租车！！》（与马丁·辛合作）、《巴顿将军之死》（与乔治·C·斯科特合作）、《我回家过圣诞》《我的安东尼娅》、1996年电视迷你剧《泰坦尼克号》以及《欢乐一家亲》。
近年来，圣特还涉足播客领域。她在《巴士之旅》中饰演玛丽莎·托梅的姑姑，这是一部在《Pack Podcast》平台播出的短剧。她称这个泼辣的角色由尤金·帕克创作，极具吸引力，称赞他的作品“非常真实”。
“我活了这么久，知道什么是真实，什么不是，而尤金的剧本就是真实的，”她说，“它们迷人、积极，但并不矫揉造作。”
桑德森的声明称，圣特身后留下了两个孩子达雷尔和劳蕾特、四个孙辈以及两个曾孙。
Eva Marie Saint, star of “On the Waterfront” and “North by Northwest,” dies at age 102

Academy Award-winning actor Eva Marie Saint, who starred in such classics as “On the Waterfront” and “North by Northwest,” but also bucked Hollywood conventions throughout her lengthy career, has died. She was 102.
Her publicist, Jeff Sanderson, said she died of natural causes at her home in Los Angeles, surrounded by family and loved ones.
A regal-looking blonde who ricocheted from playing sultry spies to Southern belles and Superman’s stepmother, Saint made her motion picture debut opposite Marlon Brando in Elia Kazan’s “On the Waterfront” (1954). Saint played Edie Doyle, whose brother was murdered by thugs working for a mob boss running a longshoremen’s union; her character becomes involved with Brando’s pugilistic dockworker Terry Malloy.
Her performance earned Saint one of the film’s eight Academy Awards. (She was only the fourth person to win a best supporting actress Oscar for their film debut.) On the night she received her award, she was visibly pregnant. “I may have the baby right here!” she said. (Her son, Darrell, was born two days later.)

Saint married director-producer Jeffrey Hayden in 1951, and the couple stayed together for 65 years until his death in 2016. They had two children. Saint had made it clear that family was more important to her than her career.
“I had an agent once who wanted me to make many more movies,” she told CBS’ “Sunday Morning” in 2014. “I said, ‘I can’t. I can only do one a year, if that. I have children, young children.’ And he said, ‘Well, I guess you won’t be a superstar.’ And I said, ‘Well, I guess not.’”
And what happened to that agent? “Fired him,” she said.
She kept up her self-imposed limit on films; she also brought her extended family to the set of Otto Preminger’s “Exodus” while filming in Cyprus and Israel. Despite not cranking out movies, Saint followed her Oscar win by appearing in many prestige projects, including “A Hatful of Rain,” “Raintree County,” “All Fall Down,” “The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming,” “Grand Prix,” and the eponymous TV miniseries based on “How the West Was Won.” She also received five Emmy nominations, and won for the 1990 TV movie “People Like Us.” At age 97, she appeared on a podcast series.
But perhaps her most memorable performance was as Eve Kendall, a mysterious blonde who crosses paths with Cary Grant’s Roger Thornhill as he runs from murderous spies in the 1959 Alfred Hitchcock thriller “North by Northwest.” Little does Thornhill realize that Kendall herself is a secret agent.
Saint said Hitchcock’s direction to her playing a sexy spy was simple: “Three things: Lower your voice. Don’t use your hands. And look directly into Cary Grant’s eyes at all times,” she recalled.
Hitchcock had a reputation for being tough on young female actors, but not Saint. “I found that he was such a wonderful director, gentleman, funny, courteous, but there are other actresses who don’t feel the same way. I don’t even want to hear stories about him,” she said.

Though playing a femme fatale was new to her, Saint said she wasn’t surprised upon watching her performance. “No. I don’t think actors are surprised,” she said. “I mean, that’s what we do.”
“Too innocent” looking
Born on July 4, 1924, in Newark, New Jersey, Saint grew up in upstate New York, and attended Bowling Green State University in Ohio (where she was “Sweater Queen”). Originally planning to become a teacher, Saint began acting in student productions, and changed her career focus.
Moving to New York City, she trained at the Actors Studio with famed acting coach Lee Strasberg, and was hired for a production of “Mister Roberts” alongside Henry Fonda. But she was let go by director Joshua Logan; she found out it was because she was deemed “too innocent” looking. The actor who took her place was Jocelyn Brando (Marlon’s sister).
Crushed, she was nonetheless determined not to let it dissuade her from pursuing an acting career.
When she was starting out, she told Variety in 2021, Saint and a fellow female actor would talk in a made-up language while riding the subway. “We were so frustrated about not getting jobs, so I suggested that we do something so people would notice us,” she said. “When we’d start gabbing, we’d get a little audience. People would put down their papers and wonder, what language is that?”
Saint established herself in the early days of live television as a dramatic actor in plays on “Studio One,” “Goodyear Television Playhouse,” “GE True Theater” and “Philco Television Playhouse.” She starred in the first TV production of Horton Foote’s “The Trip to Bountiful,” and repeated her role on Broadway, where she was spotted by Kazan, the “Waterfront” director.
He asked Saint to audition opposite Brando in an improvised scene. Upon entering the room, Brando put on a radio, and the two started dancing. “He did something to flip my skirt, and I was so embarrassed I cried a little bit afterward,” Saint told the Santa Barbara Independent in 2010. “But Kazan saw the chemistry, and he could see that it could work for the movie.”
She said Brando was wonderful to work with.
“What was a little scary about him, which worked for me in the movie, was his perception of people that was so keen,” she said. “He could look at somebody or talk with them and hone into what that person was all about. And he would mention it about people around us. So sometimes I would sit there and think, ‘If he knows that about that person, he must know more about me than I know about myself.’ It made me a little self-conscious, but I used that in the movie. He’d been out in the world and I had been at home protected, so I used that.”
Following “Waterfont,” Saint appeared on TV in a musical version of Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town” with Paul Newman and Frank Sinatra, and also appeared onstage numerous theater productions.
But Hollywood beckoned, and the Oscar winner starred opposite such actors as Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor (“Raintree County”), Paul Newman (“Exodus”), Warren Beatty (“All Fall Down”), James Garner (“36 Hours”), Richard Burton and Taylor (“The Sandpiper”), Yves Montand (“Grand Prix”), Gregory Peck (“The Stalking Moon”), Bob Hope (“That Certain Feeling,” “Cancel My Reservation”), and Tom Hanks (“Nothing in Common”).

Other film credits included “Because of Winn-Dixie,” “Don’t Come Knocking” (with Sam Shepard), “Superman Returns” (as Martha Kent), and “Winter’s Tale.”
On TV she appeared in “The Best Little Girl in the World,” “Moonlighting,” the two-hander “Taxi!!” (opposite Martin Sheen), “The Last Days of Patton” (with George C. Scott), “I’ll be Home for Christmas,” “My Antonia,” the 1996 TV miniseries “Titanic,” and “Frasier.”
And in recent years, Saint podcasted. She played Marisa Tomei’s aunt in “The Bus Ride,” a short play streamed on “The Pack Podcast.” She said the feisty character, written by Eugene Pack, was compelling, calling his work “so honest.”
“I’ve lived long enough to know what’s honest and what isn’t, and Eugene’s plays are,” she said. “They’re charming, they’re positive, but they’re not saccharine.”
Saint is survived by her two children, Darrell and Laurette, four grandchildren and two great grandchildren, Sanderson’s statement said.
