Half a century later, Saint – by then in her early 80s – made a big screen comeback as Superman’s adoptive mother in the 2006 blockbuster Superman Returns.<\/p>\n
And she later had parts in the supernatural fantasy Winter’s Tale, alongside Colin Farrell and Russell Crowe, and another in the 2019 nun drama Mariette in Ecstasy.<\/p>\n
Saint, who has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, said her longevity in acting had given her work extra depth.<\/p>\n
“The longer you live, the smarter you get, because you’ve been around, you’ve seen things,” she told TCM.<\/p>\n
“You’ve gone through different emotional experiences in your own life, and hopefully, you understand things better.<\/p>\n
“And that makes you a better actress.”<\/p>\n
Saint’s marriage to Hayden lasted for 65 years, until his death in 2016, and she is survived by their two children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Half a century later, Saint – by then in her early 80s – made a big screen comeback…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":794699,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-794698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=794698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794698\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/794699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=794698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=794698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=794698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
