We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Eva Marie Saint (1924-2026) who has died at the age of 102. She was born on July 4th and was an All American lady with grace and charm.

We were fortunate to interview Eva Marie a couple of times: first in 1999 during the centennial of Hitchcock’s birth at the NYU conference in New York. And the second in 2012 when she defended Alfred Hitchcock against media accusations.

Eva said she loved working with Hitchcock and called him her ‘sugar daddy’ as he took her to Bergdorf’s to find clothes for her Eve Kendall character in North by Northwest. You can read some of her interview in A Century of Hitchcock by Kentucky Press

RIP beautiful lady
