Passage: In memoriamPassage: In memoriam

Memories of North by Northwest and On the Waterfront are surfacing beneath CBS Sunday Morning's latest remembrance. In "Passage: In memoriam," the program reports the death of Academy Award-winning actress Eva Marie Saint among the notable figures it honors from the past week.

The brief tribute reached about 73,000 views in its first 14 hours, already far beyond the few thousand a short upload usually attracts over a full first day. Its comment section is also much busier than usual, even as the channel's overall daily views are below their regular pace.

Viewers' recollections reach beyond individual films. Some describe discovering Saint's work decades ago; another remembers her appearances on Turner Classic Movies. Those memories give the brief announcement a more personal dimension: not just the roles she played, but the places where people encountered her work.
