She retired at age 97? Wow. Clint retired at 96.

The fantabulous Eve Kendal in that film. They pushed the envelope for suggestion in that film, for the time. She was fantastic!
To: Ken H
Really? North by Northwest was in 1959? I remember watching it at the theater with my parents. Never forgot that airplane scene. Man do I feel old.

I thought you meant there is no landing strip on Ms. Saint's behind.

I just started watching “North by Northwest” on Amazon Prime. Such a great movie. I haven’t seen it in maybe 20 years.
To: Ken H
I thought she was excellent in the now politically incorrect film Exodus

She did an interview about 20 years ago - she is a totally class act.
Shared some funny stories about Cary Grant and Paul Newman. Married only once - for 65 years!

When I was a resident physician, I overheard some of the other residents talking about a patient whose daughter was extraordinarily beautiful. Then they discovered that she was the beautiful Eva Marie Saint.
