Gloria Stuart, who played the older version of Kate Winslet's character Rose in 1997's blockbuster Titanic, died at the age of 100 Sunday at her Los Angeles home, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.

Her daughter Sylvia Thompson told The Washington Post that Stuart had been diagnosed with lung cancer years ago.

In 1998, Stuart, then 87, became the oldest Oscar nominee ever for her role in the James Cameron-directed film. She also earned a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, as well as a spot in People's Most Beautiful issue in 1998 as she basked in the light of the smash hit film.
