This picture was from 2002, when she was 92.
Don't know when this one was, but looks from the same time frame.
In Titanic her EYES just sparkled. You couldn't hide the life and vibrancy that was behind them.

Stuart was a leading lady in 1930s films, then gave up acting and turned to art. Her role in 'Titanic' earned her an Academy Award nomination.
Gloria Stuart, a 1930s Hollywood leading lady who earned an Academy Award nomination for her first significant role in nearly 60 years — as Old Rose, the centenarian survivor of the Titanic in James Cameron's 1997 Oscar-winning film — has died. She was 100.
Stuart, a founding member of the Screen Actors Guild who later became an accomplished painter and fine printer, died Sunday night at her West Los Angeles home, said her daughter, writer Sylvia Thompson.

Gloria was a darned good lookin’ gal in the thirties. I remember her in The Old Dark House with Charles Laughton, Boris Karloff, Raymond Massey, Melvin Douglas...a HECK of a cast.

At first I didn’t like that part either. But then thinking about the humanity lost that night, I think the act of throwing away the jewelry recognized what was most important. My favorite scene was the camera panning across the photos she had set up near her bed, documenting a full life after she was spared.
Why couldn’t that boat sink, taking him and the wookie with?
I agree, I thought the movie was a waste of my money and time and I could never understand why people people were going back numerous times to see the darn thing.....ughhhh

My grand grandma used was 98 when she died. Before that she would push the other people in the nursing home around in their wheelchairs. She said she felt so sorry for these “old people” (they were about 30-40 years younger than her.
I tell my children one of my bucket list goals is to live to 101, because I want to dance at my 100th birthday. So, I have 65 more years of annoying people. :) Or, that was the plan. Last year, my birthday was so horrible that I have decided to have no more birthdays. That will make me 36 forever. Yay!
I totally agree. Vivien Leigh was absolutely breathtaking. Even in her later years, she had a look that was striking. Too bad she suffered so from her mental illness. :(
Audrey Hepburn was another who just had a look that it would be hard to duplicate. Even my husband liked her in ‘Sabrina.’
if I am reading this right, this person must have been a newborn, less than 6 weeks old.
I guess it has been a while since someone who remembers the Titanic (survivor or someone who was involved in construction or saw at port in the UK) was last alive.
what sound did she make? to be honest, i've never seen this movie... hubby and i attempted to see it 2-3 times when it was first released, but it was sold out... we never got around to seeing it...
I was wondering about that part. She was a progressive women, I’m thinking she never married in the movie?
That necklace will someday be worth as much as the fictional one in the movie. It cost $10,000 to make that one “prop.”

I like the scene where 64 pianos come together like a puzzle to form a stage on which stands a beautiful girl with the wind blowing her dress. And yet this final combination is only seen for about 2 seconds.
She still pops up sometimes on cable tv in showings of the Universal horror film The Old Dark House with Boris Karloff, Raymond Massey and Charles Laughton.
The Old Dark House cast....
Dont forget Lillian Bond and Ernest Thesiger.
It would be difficult to actually write, it's like a yelp. However, if you can stand the guys laughing in the background, you can hear it here:
