Eva Darren (born June 28, 1946) is a Filipino actress.
Career
Darren started appearing in movies during the early 1960s. She won the FAMAS Award for Best Supporting Actress for the movie Ang Pulubi (1969) starring Charito Solis.
In 1998, she was nominated for Gawad Urian Best Supporting Actress in the movie Ligaya Ang Itawag Mo Sa Akin (1997) starring Rosanna Roces. Her memorable mother role was in the hit ABS-CBN's TV series Pangako Sa 'Yo (2000), where she played the adoptive mother of Kristine Hermosa. She appeared as fortuneteller in Sineserye Presents: Patayin Sa Sindak si Barbara (2008) with Kris Aquino as Barbara.
She was part of the film Ate in 2008, which stars the sisters Ara Mina and Cristine Reyes.
72nd FAMAS Controversy
During the 72nd FAMAS Award held at the Fiesta Pavillon, Manila Hotel on May 26, 2024, FAMAS President Francia Conrad apologized to Darren: "they were not able to “locate” her because they were “running a live show with myriads of people,” she said. Darren was tasked but failed to present Special Citations with Tirso Cruz III, after she received a notice of invitation for the FAMAS awards night", Fernando de la Pena, her son said. A "young singer" Sheena Palad replaced Darren, who paid P5,000 ($90) per plate for her 4 grandchildren.{{cite news |last1= Yap|first1= Jade Veronique |title=FAMAS issues apology to veteran actress Eva Darren after alleged snub|url= https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/showbiz/chikaminute/908114/famas-issues-apology-to-veteran-actress-eva-darren-after-alleged-snub/story/ |accessdate=May 27, 2024 |publisher= |date=May 27, 2024}} On May 28, Darren and her family decided to accept the olive branch of FAMAS organizers for the incomprehensible irresponsible snub. "Please stick to the script… and maybe a nice pair of eyeglasses for all in charge,” Darren's son Fernando recommended.
