Eva Marie Saint – 96
She’s one fine example who balanced work and family with full élan. For 7 decades, she had been in the business and had a net worth of $20 million. With small beginnings in TV, she got leading roles opposite Marlon Brando in ‘On the Waterfront’ and then Hitchcock’s ‘North by Northwest’ made her a star overnight.
Her choice of roles was primarily governed by interest and not money. You’ll be amazed to know she didn’t even need any divorce attorney in her life, thanks to her 65-year-old marriage.
