On 1 November 1997, the film Titanic was released on the big screen and quickly became one of the most beloved films by audiences around the world. Today, it is rightly considered a classic of the disaster film genre, touching viewers with its story of tragic love aboard the legendary liner.
The plot of the film is told by the elderly Rose, brilliantly played by the talented actress Gloria Stuart. This role became one of the most famous in her career, although the actress’s creative path began much earlier and included dozens of roles in both cinema and theatre.
Over the course of her 70-year career, Gloria Stewart has appeared in over a hundred film projects and television shows. Among her most notable roles are characters in the classic film The Invisible Man (1933) and, of course, Titanic, where the actress played Rose at the ripe old age of 87.
Thanks to this film, Gloria Stewart received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, setting a record as the oldest actress ever nominated for an Academy Award. She was also honoured by the Screen Actors Guild for her tremendous contribution and dedication to the art.
Gloria was not only an outstanding actress, but also a woman with a deep passion for her work. Her life story is a shining example of how love for art knows no bounds, and dedication to one’s craft remains important regardless of age.
