Wow! Happy Centennial, Gloria!
Gloria Frances Stuart (born Gloria Stewart; July 4, 1910 – September 26, 2010) was an American actress, visual artist, and activist. She was known for her roles in Pre-Code films, and garnered renewed fame late in life for her portrayal of Rose Dawson Calvert in James Cameron's epic romance Titanic (1997), the highest-grossing film of all time at the time. Her performance in the film won her a Screen Actors Guild Award and earned her nominations for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress...
Amazing!
I thought she looked old when Titanic came out!
She’s now as old as Old Rose was in Titanic, and has outlived all actual survivors of the disaster.
To be fair - she was wearing makeup for those scenes to age her a few years. I remember hearing once that she was a little disturbed by the added years!
Thanks for the wikipedia link - she was a very cute 24 year old!

Close, but not quite. Old Rose was 101 in the film.
