She has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - for Motion Pictures, at 1612 Vine St, and for Television, at 1634 Vine St. Because of the second-rate film roles that came her way in the 1970s, Saint returned to television and the stage in the 1980s. She retired from acting, and died at her home in Ketchum, Idaho from heart failure. Her best known films were in the early years of her career: A Hatful of Rain (1957) with Don Murray, North by Northwest (1959) with Cary Grant, and Exodus (1960) with Paul Newman. Her role as the neighbour of elderly sisters, played by Lillian Gish and Bette Davis, with romantic interest provided by Vincent Price, brought Sothern an Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nomination. Her first film role was in On the Waterfront (1954) with Marlon Brando, for which she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Her final film role was in The Whales of August in 1987.

She studied acting at Bowling Green University, and did some work in radio and television before winning the Drama Critics Award for her stage role in A Trip to Bountiful (1953). She resumed working sporadically on television until the mid 1980s, including a television remake of her earlier success A Letter To Three Wives. Saint was born in Newark, New Jersey, USA. In 1965 she was heard as the voice of the car in the series My Mother The Car. She played the blonde, graceful leading lady in many films, starting in the 1950s.
