Sad...

Im so sad right now!!! I was just watching Titanic the other night! She was such a cute old lady!!


Oscar-nominated actress Gloria Stuart passed away at the age of 100 on Sept. 26, The Washington Post reports.

Stuart, best known to audiences as the elder Rose in the Best Picture-winning 'Titanic,' was diagnosed with lung cancer several years ago, according to her daughter, Sylvia Thompson.

The actress began her career in the 1930s, starring in such films as 'The Invisible Man,' 'Roman Scandals' and 'The Prisoner of Shark Island.'

'Titanic' earned Gloria her first and only Oscar nomination. She lost the Best Supporting Actress prize to 'L.A. Confidential' star Kim Basinger at the 1998 ceremony.

Stuart was 87 when the Academy nominated her for her work as a 100-year-old survivor of the sinking ship in the James Cameron film, and she remains the oldest Oscar nominee in history.

Born in Santa Monica, California, Gloria attended the University of California at Berkeley and was married twice. Her first marriage, to Blair Gordon Neill, lasted from 1930 to 1934.

Later in 1934, she married Arthur Sheekman and the two had one daughter. The pair remained together until his death in 1978.
