Theres going to be a very special spotlight on actress Eva Marie Saint during the 2013 TCM Classic Film Festival. The Oscar-winning actress is set to join TCM host Robert Osborne for an extended interview about her life, her career and her remarkable 61-year marriage to Jeffrey Hayden. The interview will be taped in front of a live audience at the Avalon Hollywood. It will then debut on TCM in spring 2014 as the original special Eva Marie Saint: Live from the TCM Classic Film Festival.
Last month, TCM announced that Saint will be one of the festivals special guests, with a scheduled appearance at the U.S. premiere of the newly restored On the Waterfront (1954), the film that marked her film debut and earned her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Restored in 4K by Sony Pictures Entertainment, Elia Kazans grippingly realistic On the Waterfront is a tale of corruption and social justice. Saint plays the girlfriend of a young man (Marlon Brando, also an Oscar winner) who speaks truth to power. Karl Malden, Rod Steiger, Lee J. Cobb and Leif Erickson round out the extraordinary cast in this Best Picture honoree, which also features a powerful music score by Leonard Bernstein.
Eva Marie Saint has had an extraordinary career spanning nearly six decades so far, winning the Academy Award for her first film and co-starring with the most enviable list of co-stars of any actress of her time, including Paul Newman, Cary Grant, Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, James Garner, Warren Beatty, Richard Burton, Gregory Peck and Frank Sinatra, said Osborne, adding Shes also a wonderful storyteller and has great tales to tell. Her joining us at the film festival will be a treat that no one who loves movies should miss.
This will mark Saints third TCM Classic Film Festival appearance. She attended the very first festival in 2010, when she participated in a screening Alfred Hitchcocks North by Northwest (1959). At the 2011 festival, she joined Robert Osborne to help pay tribute to Elizabeth Taylor at a screening of A Place in the Sun (1951). She has also drawn enormous crowds during all four of TCMs Road to Hollywood tours, including her November 2012 appearance in Pittsburgh to help introduce On the Waterfront with TCMs Ben Mankiewicz. Serving as a build-up to the TCM Classic Film Festival, TCMs Road to Hollywood brings a touch of the festival to movie fans across the nation with free screenings attended by legendary stars. In addition, Saint was a special guest aboard the first ever TCM Classic Cruise in 2011.
Each year, the TCM Classic Film Festival features an extended interview taped in front of a live audience for telecast on TCM. In 2010, the first TCM Classic Film Festival welcomed two-time Oscar winner Luise Rainer, who was 101 at the time. In 2011, Peter OToole was the featured guest, followed by last years interview with actress Kim Novak, whose Live from the TCM Classic Film Festival special premiered earlier this month on TCM.
Passes for the 2013 TCM Classic Film Festival are on sale now and can be purchased by calling the festival box office at (877) 826-5764 on business days between 10 a.m. 5 p.m. (ET), or 24 hours a day through the official festival website: http://www.tcm.com/festival The site also features additional information about the festival, including video and photos from past festivals.
