Eva Marie Saint, the Oscar-winning actress celebrated for classic films such as North by Northwest and On the Waterfront, has died at the age of 102.

A spokesperson for Saint said she died on Tuesday from natural causes, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Saint won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her film debut in 1954’s On the Waterfront, in which she starred opposite screen legend Marlon Brando.

Over the course of her long career, Saint also received a Primetime Emmy Award and earned nominations for a Golden Globe and two BAFTA Awards.

Alongside Brando and Cary Grant, her co-star in Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller North by Northwest, Saint appeared with a remarkable roster of leading men, including Paul Newman, Gregory Peck, James Garner and Bob Hope.

Although she continued acting into the 2010s, Saint remains best known for the landmark films she made during the 1950s—particularly Elia Kazan’s On the Waterfront and her celebrated collaboration with Hitchcock on North by Northwest.

Saint made her feature-film debut in On the Waterfront, starring Brando as Terry Malloy, a former boxer who becomes a longshoreman after a local mob boss pressures him to lose a match.

After Terry witnesses the mobster’s henchmen murder a dock worker to stop him from testifying in a corruption investigation, he must choose between speaking out and remaining silent so he can keep his job.

Saint played Edie, the murdered dock worker’s sister, who urges Terry to testify before the commission.

For her first screen role, Saint won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and received a nomination from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts for Most Promising Newcomer.

Her immediate success in Hollywood brought a succession of leading roles—and paychecks far greater than the $7,500 she earned for On the Waterfront.

The actress also demonstrated her comic talent when she followed On the Waterfront with That Certain Feeling in 1956, appearing opposite comedian Bob Hope.

The following year, Saint took on another very different role in the Civil War drama Raintree County, which also featured her lifelong friends Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift.

Saint further tested the boundaries of Hollywood censorship under the Production Code with the 1957 addiction drama A Hatful of Rain. The performance earned her another BAFTA nomination, this time for Best Foreign Actress.

Saint’s other defining film arrived near the end of the 1950s, when Alfred Hitchcock cast her as his latest glamorous blonde opposite Cary Grant in the comic spy thriller North by Northwest.

The film, a more ambitious return to Hitchcock’s early-career thrillers about a ‘wrong man’ who is swept up into espionage against his will, starred Grant as an ad executive who is mistaken for a spy by a dangerous group of international criminals.

Saint played a nuanced role as the apparent femme fatale and arm candy of the villain (played by James Mason), but she’s later revealed to be a double agent working behind the scenes for a US intelligence agency. 

The breezy film was a hit with critics and audiences alike, becoming one of the best-regarded movies Saint, Grant and Hitchcock ever made. 

A new Congressional Research Service assessment says the United States has lost or suffered damage to at least 81 military aircraft since the war in Iran began, with the total value of those losses estimated at up to $3.3 billion.

Among the aircraft affected are some of the US military’s most sophisticated platforms, including an F-35A Lightning II stealth fighter and 12 F-15E Strike Eagle jets that were either damaged or destroyed.

Three F-15Es, each valued at more than $30 million, were brought down in a friendly-fire incident over Kuwait on March 2. A fourth was shot down over Iran the following month.

Eight additional F-15Es suffered minor damage during Iranian airstrikes on Jordan’s Muwaffaq Salti Air Base on September 9 and 10.

The damaged fighters have since been repaired and returned to operational service, according to the report.

The report also details the loss of at least 45 MQ-9 Reaper drones, each estimated to cost between $30 million and $50 million.

The losses reduced the Air Force’s Reaper fleet to 135 aircraft, a general told the Senate in May. The drones are used for both intelligence-gathering missions and precision missile strikes.

According to the Air Force Times, the service is expected to maintain at least 189 deployable MQ-9 Reapers at any given time.

The Congressional Research Service analysis also recorded damage to an F-35A, a fifth-generation fighter valued at more than $92 million, after the aircraft came under Iranian fire on March 19.

Another major loss was a $270 million E-3 Sentry surveillance aircraft. The aging plane, built on the Boeing 707 airframe, remains a key part of the US military’s airborne monitoring capabilities.

The Air Force had 32 E-3 Sentry aircraft in service as of 2015.

The United States also lost an A-10 Thunderbolt II ground-attack aircraft in April, while a second A-10 was damaged during the September assault on the Jordanian base.

Total list of US aircraft lost or damaged in Iran war:

Last month, US Central Command estimated that the total cost of the war in Iran grew to $43.6 billion — a $5 billion increase from August.

Weapons costs also jumped by more than $6 billion in just over a month, from $21.7 billion listed in the latest Congressional Budget Office report to $28.1 billion in US Central Command’s estimate.

The White House and the Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

A transgender Washington state resident allegedly helped enable a deadly school shooting in Canada by assisting the shooter rather than alerting authorities, federal officials said Tuesday. The Feb. 10 attack at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia left children dead.

James Cody Bryant, 30, was arrested Tuesday morning in Bellingham, north of Seattle. He is accused of sending money, providing advice and agreeing to livestream the attack carried out by 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar.

“Bryant had the information and ability to alert law enforcement, and even discussed that possibility with the shooter, but he chose not to,” Acting U.S. Attorney Neil Floyd said during a news conference in Seattle.

“Instead, he encouraged and offered assistance to a murderer.”

Bryant is charged federally with conspiracy to murder people in a foreign country. Prosecutors allege that he helped Van Rootselaar start a car so the shooter could travel to the school after already killing two family members.

“So even after the shooter had already tragically killed two family members, Bryant assisted the shooter in successfully traveling to the second location to take even more lives,” FBI Seattle Special Agent in Charge W. Mike Herrington said.

“In the complaint, Bryant even admits to being maybe the only one who could stop the shooter.”

Herrington said both Bryant and Van Rootselaar identified as transgender. He said Bryant identifies as female.

The pair first connected through a random match on the online chat platform Omegle about three years before the shooting.

Investigators have found no indication of what their transgender identities were, why they continued communicating or whether they ever met face to face, Herrington said.

According to Herrington, their online relationship evolved into conversations about violence over a period of at least six months.

“This complaint was particularly difficult to read, in part because of the casual tone these two individuals used when discussing the mass taking of innocent lives that was being planned,” he said.

Bryant allegedly agreed to record and livestream the attack in an effort to increase the shooter’s notoriety.

“Bryant even stayed awake after an overnight work shift to make sure this horrific act could be widely viewed online,” Herrington said.

“We certainly know the shooter was concerned that not enough people would see the livestream without Bryant broadcasting it, and was depending on Bryant to amplify the livestream because the shooter did not have many followers on social media.”

Floyd said the attempted livestream on Twitch ran for about 20 seconds before it ended. Herrington said investigators do not know whether Van Rootselaar would have carried out the attack without Bryant’s agreement to manage the broadcast.

Officials also said Bryant provided financial help, including slightly more than $100 for shoes. A separate transfer of about $15 for a lighter was attempted but later reversed.

Floyd said Bryant and the shooter discussed sending weapons to Canada, but Bryant was uncomfortable doing so. Herrington said investigators had no indication the guns used in the attack came from the U.S.

Asked about a possible political ideology or group affiliation, Floyd said investigators had no information indicating either.

Herrington pointed to the shooter’s suffering and “a very keen focus on notoriety” as themes in the communications. The pair discussed other mass shootings, how the public reacted and a desire for the Tumbler Ridge attack to receive similar attention, he said.

The investigation crossed the border within days of the massacre, when Canadian police received information from an online platform used by the shooter and contacted the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), British Columbia RCMP Assistant Commissioner Elija Rain said.

Floyd said investigators obtained subpoenas and warrants and reviewed thousands of communications, many on Discord, before making the arrest.

Canadian investigators have reviewed more than 90 statements from students, educators and first responders and continue to examine other online contacts, Rain said.

“Our RCMP criminal investigation remains ongoing and the possibility of further charges being pursued in Canada remains under active consideration,” he said.

Herrington warned that assisting a mass shooting from afar does not shield someone from prosecution.

“If you think you are safe from prosecution because you did not pull the trigger, or were not physically present at the scene of the crime, think again,” he said.

“The FBI and our partners will use all of the considerable investigative tools at our disposal to hold accountable those who enable or assist in acts of mass violence.”

The Feb. 10 attack killed eight victims, including five students, an educator and the shooter’s mother and 11-year-old stepbrother, according to Canadian authorities. Van Rootselaar was found dead inside the school from an apparent self-inflicted injury.

A former senior CIA official who confessed to inventing a fake “highly classified” government operation to fund Florida real estate purchases and acquire hundreds of gold bars also disclosed US intelligence to a foreign official.

David J. Rush created the fictional operation as cover for buying luxury properties in Florida, which he planned to sell for his own financial gain, according to court records.

In a plea document, Rush acknowledged providing “certain descriptive information” to a foreign official. Prosecutors said the disclosure could “endanger the safety and life of the human source and the US government officers working with the source.”

The disclosure could also undermine the US government’s ability to recruit human intelligence sources, who depend on official promises that their identities and cooperation will remain absolutely confidential.

In a separate scheme, Rush allegedly invented a sham “sensitive government activity” to explain how he obtained the gold bars, court filings state.

The Justice Department estimates that Rush’s alleged fraud caused approximately $194 million in losses to the federal government.

Prosecutors further allege that Rush misrepresented his military and educational background to colleagues and government contractors. He also presented his fictional program as a legitimate operation approved by senior US officials.

“Rush used his legitimate government authority and manufactured personal bona fides to create confidence in his directions,” prosecutors wrote in the court filing.

Rush, 49, of Ashburn, Virginia, pleaded guilty to a single wire fraud charge. The offense carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison, according to court records.

US District Judge Michael Nachmanoff is expected to sentence Rush on January 28 in Alexandria, Virginia.

According to a court filing submitted Tuesday, Rush had attempted several months earlier to authorize the fraudulent release of $100 million connected to a government contract.

He then instructed another person to move approximately $145 million into a holding company established at his direction. The money was allegedly used to purchase four luxury properties in Palm Beach and Hobe Sound, Florida.

Earlier filings from prosecutors alleged that Rush kept more than $40 million worth of gold bars, acquired from the federal government, inside his Virginia residence.

Authorities also accused him of improperly collecting tens of thousands of dollars in military-leave payments after being honorably discharged from the US Navy in 2015.

An FBI agent’s affidavit states that investigators arrested Rush after searching his home and finding approximately 300 gold bars, around $2 million in US currency and roughly 35 luxury watches.

Following his initial court appearance earlier this year, a judge ordered Rush to remain in custody without bond.

During a hearing in June, defense attorney Jessica Carmichael said Rush wasn’t charged initially with any crimes related to the discovery of the gold bars, which she referred to as ‘basically a non-issue’ and ‘nothing more than a sensational tidbit.’ 

She said her client properly obtained the gold bars and kept them locked in a safe in his basement.

‘Mr. Rush never claimed they were his,’ Carmichael said.

Authorities say Rush lied about his education and military background on job applications, falsely claiming to be a former Navy pilot who graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Clemson University in South Carolina and a master´s degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York.

Investigators determined that he didn´t serve as a Navy pilot and didn´t attend either school. 

Rush enlisted in the Navy in 1997 and was honorably discharged from the US Navy Reserves as a lieutenant in 2015, according to the FBI affidavit.

This is a developing story.  

One San Fernando Valley family received a harsh reminder that keeping cool in Los Angeles can come with an extraordinary cost.

Micah Reed said he was shocked after the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power issued him a September utility bill of roughly $3,300.

Reed, who lives with his wife and two sons, said in a social media video that he kept the thermostat set to 74 degrees throughout August so his “family wouldn’t melt.”

“Am I powering the entire crypto mining grid of the San Fernando Valley, or did LADWP just decide that I pay my mortgage twice this month?” Reed said.

The video drew nearly 1 million views and thousands of responses from Angelenos who said they had faced similar concerns over high electricity bills.

Reed later started a petition demanding “an independent audit and summer rate relief.”

He maintains that air conditioning is a basic health and safety necessity during San Fernando Valley summers, when temperatures can climb above 100 degrees.

“Yet, because of LADWP’s aggressive tiered pricing system and opaque pass-through charges, residents are effectively penalized with a massive ‘Heat Tax’ just for trying to avoid heatstroke,” he wrote.

The petition urges City Controller Kenneth Mejia to order a public, independent review of LADWP’s rate calculations, tiered pricing structure and pass-through charges, including the Energy Cost Adjustment and Incremental Reliability Cost Adjustment.

“Living in Los Angeles is already unaffordable enough. Running an air conditioner shouldn’t force families into debt,” Reed added.

It also seeks higher Tier 1 and Tier 2 electricity-use thresholds from July through September, arguing that households should not be pushed into the highest penalty rates for essential cooling during triple-digit heat waves.

Reed is additionally calling for flexible monthly billing, limits on sewer and sanitation add-on charges during periods of extreme heat, and interest-free payment plans for residents facing unusually high summer utility bills.

The petition also asks LADWP to suspend utility shutoffs for residents struggling to pay sky-high summer bills.
