Gloria Stuart has passed away at the age of 100.

The actress, most famous for playing the older version of Kate Winslet's Rose in Titanic, died yesterday in Los Angeles. At 87 years old, she was the oldest Oscar nominee for her role in James Cameron's 1997 movie.

Stuart's career started decades earlier, back in the 1930s. A blonde who made her name in horror classics, she appeared in Frankenstein and The Invisible Man before becoming a founding member of the Screen Actors Guild.

She retired in the 40s before returning to screens in The Waltons and, eventually, Titanic. Stuart wrote about her late blossoming career: "When I graduated from Santa Monica High in 1927, I was voted the girl most likely to succeed. I didn't realize it would take so long."
