Despite me only seeing her in the film Titanic, I think it's good that she lived a very long life.

Ditto.

I'm sad that she passed away, but I'm also amazed that she had such a long and fulfilling life.

I think I'll watch Gold Diggers of 1935 and Titanic tonight.

Yes, it's always sad when someone passes away, but I'm happy she was able to live such a long life and to see and celebrate her 100th birthday.

That's sad. But like everyone has said already, she lived a very long life, and starred in a mega blockbuster.

RIP Gloria.

RIP Gloria... I've only ever seen her in Titanic and in the following video, but my love of Titanic makes this more sad. Thanks for being a part of that movie!

And she promoted that in June 2010 if this other Youtube video is to be believed, So as much as it saddens me to hear the loss of her life..I agree there is no doubt in anyone's mind she had a great life up until the very end....RIP Gloria Stuart

I totally didn't mean to turn this into a Hanson thread...that video wasn't from this year, though...I mean, they used the bookends of the River video, from 1998, with footage from a 2000 concert...so definitely not from 2010...that bottom text was just mentioning their new album from 2010...

Oh I didn't mean to turn this into a Hanson thread at all either....I honestly thought she did that acting either of 2010 or 2009....I don't follow hanson at all...I just feel incredibly Weird now :oops: :P

Anyway...I read also she was in a couple of Shirley Temple movies including Poor Little Rich Girl Which ironically was a line Rose (Kate Winslet said while talking to Jack describing herself of what she thought he was thinking when recalling the night she tried to jump off of the Titanic bow...



In her youth, Stuart was a blond beauty who starred in B pictures as well as some higher-profile ones such as "The Invisible Man," Busby Berkeley's "Gold Diggers of 1935" and two Shirley Temple movies, "Poor Little Rich Girl" and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." But by the mid-1940s she had retired.

She resumed acting in the 1970s, doing occasional television and film work, including Peter O'Toole's 1982 comedy "My Favorite Year." But Stuart's later career would have remained largely a footnote if James Cameron had not chosen her for his 1997 epic about the doomed luxury liner that struck an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage in 1912.

Stuart co-starred as Rose Calvert, the 101-year-old survivor played by Kate Winslet as a young woman. Both earned Oscar nominations, Winslet as best actress and Stuart as supporting actress
