She looks better painted naked.
100 years old, and she was still beautiful.
This is tragic. What horrible news. She seemed like a wonderful person. I wish her family well as they mourn their huge loss. Prayers to Gloria Stuart on her journey to see God.
RIP.
I hated the part when she threw the jewel in the sea.
One of those women who were beautiful in their youth and maturity. RIP Ms. Stuart.
May she rest in peace and may we be as fortunate as she to be productive and able into our later years.
bless her heart...may she rest in peace
Yea, but I liked the TV commercial version where she jumped in and caught it!!!!
Not to mention that sound she made while doing so...ugh
I wouldn’t throw her out of the skiff for shucking oysters.
We should all live to see 100.
I’ve never seen Titanic but she was the love interest in Gold Diggers of 1935. That movie has a few ups and downs but it is basically extremely well done with some pretty hilarious dialogue, some great character actors, and it displays the genius of Busby Berkeley.
None of us get out of here alive.
She was a natural beauty for all 100 years of her life. She is beautiful in this picture. May she rest in peace.
It will be interesting to see how the newer stars age with all of the Godawful plastic surgery they are now having. They all have the Wildenstein look, and it is scary. Bring back the natural beauties like Loretta Young, Hedy Lamar, Vivien Leigh, and Gloria Stuart, etc. Perhaps some had a little help with noses and teeth here and there, etc., but they still looked natural.
I think her hands died at 98. Still had a beautiful face though.
