Gloria Stuart of "Titanic" Sails Away at 100.
 

Last night on Sept. 26th,2010 , the long time,Oscar winning Hollywood actress ,
who gained new fame amongst a new generation and with critics as "elderly rose"
in 1997's "Titanic",passed away at age 100,2 months and 22 days.

She was born On July 4th,1910 and had a great career in movies starting in 1932. She took over 30 years off between films and returned in 1982's My Favorite Year,with Peter O'Toole.

In the mid-90s,James Cameron handed her the role of a lifetime in "Titanic". She was the only cast member who was actually alive at the time of the actual disaster.

Oldest person ever to be nominated for an Academy Award, 2/10/98. She really should have won. I had seen the movie 3 days before this and loved how she played her part. (She was actually playing someone who was 100).

Titanic opened in December of 1997 and made her name more famous than it ever had been. I just watched it again in July.

Gloria,it was great that the world really got to know about you these last 13 years and that in some way,you helped give some kind of final closure to the victims of that terrible night in 1912.

....Rest in Peace.

i recently saw an article saying that the original cause of the mishap had been corrected through a niece of a crewman speaking out (so she could finally sleep at ease)

i wondered if there were any songs about the titanic going down in which lyrics might need an alteration
