Los Angeles, Sep 14 (IANS): Actress Susan Sarandon says watching her granddaughter Marlowe being born gave her more pride than anything she has ever achieved throughout her acting career.

The 67-year-old star helped her daughter Eva Amurri Martino, who is married to NBC sports analyst Kyle Martino, deliver her first child Marlowe at her home here last month. She says the experience was overwhelming, reports contactmusic.com.

"I have loved working, playing and travelling with my daughter - but nothing prepared me for watching her birth Marlowe. She was a warrior, and I'm so proud to be her mother and to be a part of that beautiful new child,” said the “Tammy” actress.

Eva has revealed that her famous mother hopped on a plane to Los Angeles from New York as soon as she told her she thought she was going into labour 11 days early.

"I let her know that I wasn't sure if this was it, but I just had a feeling. She hopped on a plane and got there as soon as possible,” she said.
