Do you remember the end of the movie when the main character survived and reflected on her youth in old age? The actress who played Rose in her elderly years was named Gloria Stuart.
Sadly, the actress passed away several years ago at the age of 101. However, few people know about her journey to success and the challenges she faced in her career.
When Gloria was born, she was so beautiful as a child that her relatives knew she would become famous one day. And indeed, she did, but only at the age of 87 when she played the role in “Titanic.”
Before that, she had other roles, but Stuart became disillusioned with filmmaking and turned to the theater. She disliked the work schedule and the repetitive roles she was given, often playing the beautiful women.
The most interesting thing is that Gloria’s life mirrored her character’s in many ways. For instance, she was the only one in real life to survive a shipwreck when she was only two years old. Just like her character, Stuart lived to be over a hundred.
Isn’t that amazing? Do you agree that she was truly a beauty in her youth?
