Eva Marie Saint, an icon of the Golden Age of Hollywood, died Tuesday at her home in Los Angeles. She was 102. 

She’s perhaps best known for appearing in “On the Waterfront”—her very first film role—and “North by Northwest” opposite Cary Grant. Indeed, she won her only Academy Award for her supporting role in “On the Waterfront” as Edie Doyle, a love interest of Marlon Brando’s Terry Malloy who is seeking justice for the death of her brother. 

Saint is celebrated for these iconic roles—and rightly so. But we want to take a look at some of her lesser-known projects inspired by the written word. 

‘A Hatful of Rain’

Beyond the aforementioned roles, Saint received some of her best critical praise for playing Celia Pope in the drama “A Hatful of Rain.” She was nominated for Best Foreign Actress at the BAFTAs and Best Actress – Drama at the Golden Globes. She lost to Simone Signoret in “The Crucible” at the former and to Joanne Woodward in “The Three Faces of Eve” at the latter.

She starred opposite Don Murray as her husband Johnny Pope, who, after being injured in the Korean War, is now hooked on painkillers. His addiction strains their relationship, along with his father and brother. The film is based on the 1955 play of the same name by Michael V. Gazzo, who also wrote the screenplay alongside Alfred Hayes and Carl Foreman. Fred Zinnemann directed. 

‘Raintree County’

The same year ‘A Hatful of Rain’ was released, Saint appeared in the Western romance “Raintree County.” It’s based on the book by the same name by Ross Lockridge Jr. Saint plays Nell Gaither, the college sweetheart of Montgomery Clift’s John Shawnessey. John, however, has a dalliance with Elizabeth Taylor’s Susanna Drake and ends up marrying her after she tells him she’s pregnant. The relationship is anything but easy, though, as Susanna suffers severe mental illness as the Civil War breaks out. Edward Dmytrky directed the picture and Millard Kaufman wrote the screenplay. 

‘Because of Winn-Dixie’

Younger audiences might remember Saint from her small role as the librarian Miss Franny Block in the heartwarming “Because of Winn-Dixie.” The film starred a young AnnaSophia Robb as Opal, who adopts a dog she meets at a grocery store and names him Winn-Dixie. The 2005 film is based on the book of the same name by Kate DiCamillo and also stars Jeff Daniels, Cicely Tyson and Elle Fanning. Wayne Wang directed and Joan Singleton wrote the screenplay. 

‘Winter’s Tale’

One of Saint’s last film roles was the 2014 romantic fantasy “Winter’s Tale,” adapted from the book of the same name by Mark Helprin. The movie tells the romance between Peter Lake (Colin Farrell), who is beholden to the demon Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe) and Beverly Penn (Jessica Brown Findlay). The story spans over a century, and Saint plays the elderly version of Willa Penn, Beverly’s younger sister. The film was directed and written by Akiva Goldsman.
