Stupid list update with the oldies kicking it.
Gloria Stuart (100.23) was the 20th nominee to make it to 100, and having lived about 5 weeks longer than George Burns (100.13) was the 19th oldest any has yet made it. Gordon Wellesley (screenwriter) remains the oldeset living nominee at 103.8. And George Abbott's overall record of 107.6 is safe for at least 4 years.
She was the 5th oldest living nominee, Grahame Tharp (documentary filmmaker) now fills that slot.
She was the second oldest living nominated actor behind Luise Rainer (who is now again the only centenarian actor). Olivia de Havilland (94.2) is now second banana and Dorothy Malone (85.7) moves into the top 25. At the time of his death, Tony Curtis (85.3) was 29th on the list.
At 87.7 at the time of her nomination for Titanic, Stuart still holds the record for being oldest person receiving a first Oscar nomination.
