After seeing Eva Marie Saint in A Trip to Bountiful on Broadway, director Elia Kazan cast her in ON THE WATERFRONT ('54). An auspicious film debut, she won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance. When she accepted her Oscar, she was nine months pregnant and exclaimed, “I may have the baby right here!” Two days later, her son was born. Co-starring Marlon Brando, the film stands not only as one of the greatest ever made, but as a key artistic and social touchstone of 20th-century America. Saint recalled that working with Brando was exciting because “every time he said a line, it was always different” from take to take. “I would answer differently, and it just felt like we were really talking, and not actors working.” #movietok #filmtok #oldhollywood #classicfilms #evamariesaint
