MINI BIO:

Waif-like blonde Eva Marie Saint was seen playing harried heroines or in sympathetic roles. She made her first film, On the Waterfront, at the age of 30 (fortunately she looked very young for her age) and won an Academy Award for it. Proper casting for her, however, proved elusive and she has not always made the impact that she might.

Eva Marie Saint Quotes:

Ari Ben Canaan: A year is a long time in the life of a pretty woman. Have you found another man?
Kitty Fremont: Nothing serious.
Ari Ben Canaan: Why not?
Kitty Fremont: Many reasons. On is that my husbands work took up his whole life and I presume that's good or at least most men seem to seem to think so. But I think that a man whose work is his whole life is only half a man.
Ari Ben Canaan: And you want a whole one?
Kitty Fremont: Exactly. The other half of his life must be a woman, what else?


Sarah Carver: I didn't have the courage to die. I knew what I had to do to stay alive.


Maj. Jefferson F. Pike: I know this is a strange question for a man to ask his wife, but... what's your name?
