Gloria Stuart, who started out in the early days of talkies and returned to become the oldest Oscar nominee in Academy Awards history for "Titanic" at the age of 87, died in Los Angeles. She was 100 years old.
As Old Rose, the survivor of the sinking of the Titanic, she was nominated for supporting actress for the 1997 blockbuster as well as a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award, which she shared with Kim Basinger.

As a young blond ingenue, Stuart began her career by appearing at the Pasadena Playhouse. She was soon signed to a contract by Universal, and made her film acting debut in "Street of Women" in 1932.

Stuart was remembered as an early "scream queen" for her work in "Frankenstein," "The Old Dark House," "The Invisible Man" and "The Kiss Before the Mirror."

100 years old. Wow!
Hope I'm as active as she when I'm in my 80's.
