She was continuing to teach tap-dance up to two days before her death from the effects of a stroke. She has appeared in a number of made-for-TV movies, and won an Emmy in 1990 for the mini-series People Like Us. She was brought back to the small screen to play a minor role, as a secretary, in Hawaii Five-0. Because of the second-rate film roles that came her way in the 1970s, Saint returned to television and the stage in the 1980s. Her third wedding, in 1958, was to Hawaiian columnist Eddie Sherman, following which she left movies for choreography and semi-retirement. 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. They toured together in a nightclub act before being divorced in 1957. Her first film role was in On the Waterfront (1954) with Marlon Brando, for which she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

She left Universal and was paired up with dancer Ray McDonald for 1949's Shamrock Hill and 1953's All Ashore, and married him in 1953. 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 married James Cross in 1945; they were divorced in 1952. Saint was born in Newark, New Jersey, USA. Her first pairing with O'Connor was 1942's What's Cookin'?, and they appeared in films together throughout World War II. She played the blonde, graceful leading lady in many films, starting in the 1950s. Her singing, acting, and dancing skills were noticed by George Murphy, who helped her get a role in 1937's Top of the Town. Eva Marie Saint (born July 4, 1924) is an American actress.
