Gloria Stuart, who became the oldest woman to be nominated for an Academy Award after the blockbuster Titanic relaunched her career, has died at 100.
Her grandson, Benjamin Stuart Thompson, says Stuart died in her sleep Sunday night at her Los Angeles home.
Gloria Frances Stewart was born July 4, 1910, in Santa Monica, Calif., and got into acting while attending the University of California-Berkeley.
Stuart was discovered at the Pasadena Playhouse and signed to a contract by Universal Studios.
