Identity of Elderly Stuntwoman in Awards Prank Revealed
Sacha Baron Cohen, while accepting the Charlie Chaplin Excellence In Comedy Award at the 2013 Britannia Awards, pulled off a memorable prank involving an elderly lady in a wheelchair. During his acceptance speech, Cohen pretended to push the woman off the stage. Nearly a decade later, Sandy Gimpel was revealed as the elderly woman in the prank. In her new memoir "Stuntlady: Falling for the Stars," Gimpel writes about the stunt that still cracks people up. Inside Edition's Jim Moret has more.

Obviously, she going to be a physically and mentally fit. Her entire career revolves around her being in tip top shape. Still kudos to her for being the oldest current stuntwoman.

83 now and looks stunning. 73 when she did the stunt, which is just as impressive. Sandy can write another book "80 is the New 50"
I know I cracked up when it happened and felt bad but now I know I was justified for laughing 😂

The way Rock keeps crying about it, it was VERY real. 😂
Her laugh is so bright and child like, I love it.
I have absolutely no memory of this happening. She looks absolutely amazing for her age.
She looks like a women in her 60's. Amazing lady!
Even at the time, she was already 73. Wow....I'm speechless. Great woman.
I knew she was going to say that the hardest part was keeping a straight face.
It’s just a prank bro The prank:
Why didn’t they show us the clip at least once? Now I have to look it up.

Yes, I was wondering why they didn't show the scene that the entire video was explaining and providing context for. It's frustrating as a viewer - but maybe Inside Edition couldn't afford the rights to the actual footage?

what a fabulous comedic moment !!! will be remembered for a long time !!!!! congrats on pulling it off so amazingly !!! When I saw it live, I knew it had to be planned only cause Sacha was involved, but what was priceless was the faces on everyone !! That was PURE GOLD !!! This should be in the Guinness Book of Records for pranking the most celebrities in one joke\act !!!!
What a magnificent story she can tell the kids, grandkids, great grandkids etc etc. Brilliant and damned if she doesn't look fabulous.
She looks no older than 60! ❤ what a legend.

Wow what a lady so beautiful I bet she some amazing stories
I need that energy. I'll have whatever she's been taking.
This might be, well actually this is the best prank of all times.
Damn. Shout out to her for still putting on this kind of dangerous work. She's real strong. Gonna live forever.
wow. i thought it was gonna be some younger dude disguised as an old lady. this is wild.
*Imagine her waking in JAWS with the same stunt but from the Empire State building top floor lol.*
LOL WHEN EVERYONE THOUGHT WILL SMITH SLAPPING CHRIS ROCK WAS PRANK!
There was a spider in my room. I killed it. No worries. I went to the kitchen afterwards and made a steak and avocado salad. Ranch dressing. Sunkist to drink. When the world doesn't play fair you can always count on a pleasant dish.

You should google Donna Mills. She will be 83 in December and looks fantastic.
That’s such a clever book title. I might check it out!
In like 10 years were going to see Will S on that chair😂
I’ll never forget that 😂 I laughed so hard SMH
Johnny Knoxville have nothing compare to this woman
What a legend.
Why does she look younger now compared to then lmfao
Lady looks good, is sharp as a tack and is still enjoying her work. God bless! ❤
That no old woman... that a stunt woman!
This is such a great prank
Legend!! And the book title! Hilarious!! ❤
I'm 27 and can't stand without my knees dislocating😂
That's a good book title
Chile, next time you really fall and break a hip, no one is going to believe you! 😩😂
she was billy mumy's stand in and stunt double on lost in space as well as doing some of the monsters ..she was only 23 then and was an adorable little pixie
What a perfect title for that book!!
I needed to know this.
She looks gorgeous for 83
Dude respect to this lady..
What a fine lady
She's 83 but yet slaying
she is incredible
What? I didn't think she actually was an old lady, I thought it was makeup, hahaha, she's amazing.
So much respect
She looks younger now than 10 years ago!
She's absolutely beautiful!!!!
Borat is a funny guy 🤣
😂 She’s a little spitfire! Love it..
that's absolutely amazing
It took 10 years to finally accept an extra judicial settlement of undisclosed amount 😂
LEGEND
They dont make em like they used to. 1940. 😂
This lady is so freaking great 😂
Oh wow lol. I rewatched that video pretty recently. Strange coincidence
She's 83 really? With my current lifestyle, I dont know if I'm able to survive till 83, yet alone doing that stunt at that age would definitely be the last moment of my life.
Look, I think Meryl Streep has a competitor. Lol
She's a legendary star!✨Bless her!
Could we see the whole thing up close?!?!?!
Reminds me of wrestlings stunt granny when that one show tried to expose wrestling.😂😂
83?! She looks incredible. So Sacha Baron Cohen shoved an old lady off the stage after all 😂
😂❤Rock on with your bad self!!!👏👍🏻👌❤❤❤
Boy this was important.
Dear God, she was 73 at the time!
Why'd it take 10 years to spit it out?
So now we know the winners and the other nominees all know ahead of time who actually wins…
