Eva Marie Saint proved that age is just a number Sunday night, when the 93-year-old actress took the stage and owned the spotlight at the 90th Academy Awards.
鈥淚鈥檓 older than the Academy,鈥� she remarked. 鈥淚鈥檓 very proud of that. Just keep moving.鈥�
The actress won her first Oscar 63 years ago for 鈥淥n The Waterfront.鈥�

Saint was on stage to present the award for Best Costume Design, although the occasion caused her to harken back to the days when she would wear one simple outfit for movies such as 鈥淥n the Waterfront鈥� and 鈥淣orth by Northwest.鈥�
The veteran actress鈥� sense of humour drew high praise on social media.
鈥淟awd, I could only hope to be the same in my 90s,鈥� wrote one woman.
This woman is 93 years old.

Every single one of us needs to start doing whatever has been doing. 93 years young. Amazing.
