Legend Eva Marie Saint, 93, Gets Standing O at Oscars 2018!
Eva Marie Saint has a big smile on her face while getting a standing ovation at the 2018 Academy Awards held at the Dolby Theatre on Sunday (March 4) in Hollywood.
The 93-year-old actress, who won an Oscar in 1955 for her work in On the Waterfront, was at the show to present the award for Best Costume Design.
Eva paid tribute to her late husband Jeffrey Hayden, who she said was by her side at the Oscars every year. She thanked the audience for the applause and said it made up for not having him there this time.
“I just realized something: I’m older than the Academy,” she added, noting how this is the 90th Oscars. “I’m very proud of that. Just keep moving!”
