![]() ![]() "I had to have someone who'd play the latter part of the life of someone we'd recognize, Kate Winslet, so it couldn't be someone like Katharine Hepburn. In "Gloria Stuart: I Just Kept Hoping," her 1999 autobiography, Stuart said that after reading the script, "I knew the role I had wanted and waited for all these many years had arrived! I could taste the role of Old Rose!"Ĭameron told the Los Angeles Times in a 1997 interview that he chose Stuart because he was "looking for a pro from the '30s or '40s, someone probably retired, maybe off the Hollywood radar for awhile." Stuart's performance as Old Rose frames the 1997 romantic-drama that starred Leonardo DiCaprio as lower-class artist Jack Dawson and Kate Winslet as the upper-class young Rose. Stuart played Rose Calvert, the 100-year-old Titanic survivor who shows up after modern-day treasure hunters searching through the wreckage of the sunken ship find a charcoal drawing of her wearing a priceless blue diamond necklace. Writer-director Cameron's $200 million "Titanic" changed that. ![]()
