This year's recipient Helen was supported by her husband Taylor Hackford at the cermony. The pair have been happily married since 1997, but Helen had some surprising advice for those not in relationships. "My advice to single women probably is to stay single as long as you can," she said. "I love you darling," she said to her husband. "And you know a relationship is a wonderful thing, but it's not necessary to be happy and successful in life."
