rickee Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 The lovely Gloria Stuart has passed away at 100! I had the extreme honor to meet her several times; most recently at her 100th birthday party on July 4th and then shortly thereafter at the wonderful Motion Picture Academy salute to her on July 22nd. Gloria was there with all her friends and family (the place was so crowded) and she enjoyed every minute of it. At this point, she had practically no voice (just above a whisper)...but she still was able to tell her stories and answer Leonard Maltin's questions...with her own dynamic, impish and wonderful spirit! I truly loved this woman. It is a blow. RIP, dear Gloria. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/afterword/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Oh no! That is such sad news. She lived a good, long life and her career resurgance was remarkable. R.I.P. Gloria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I always loved the fact that the star of Lucy's first film was still alive and so active. She had such a fascinating career. I was so happy she made it to 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 And thank you, Rick, for always sharing your encounters with her. What a second-hand thrill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickee Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Here's a link to the birthday party back on 4th of July. I was fortunate enough to be right up front to grab these shots. The hosts were James Cameron and his wife, Suzi and you'll recognize the gorgeous Frances Fisher (whom Gloria had a special friendship with). Gloria was completely sharp and in the spirit of the wonderful day. http://www.gofobo.com/news/gloria_stuarts_100th_birthday_party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 This is a real bummer but can't believe she made it all the way to 100. Titanic was one of my favorite movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 She looked terrific for 100, i'm also very happy that she reached that milestone before passing. Sad news indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONALISAISMONALUCY Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Sad news of hearing of Gloria Stuart's passing. She was blessed with a long life and a great comeback in the film "The Titanic". I am so happy that she made it to her 100th birthday!!! I hope that TCM will make a special tribute of her films. Rest In Peace, Gloria Stuart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
