Gloria Stuart, Claude Rains' love interest in The Invisible Man and the older version of Kate Winslet in Titanic (and plenty of movies in between). She just passed her 100th birthday in July and was also feted at the Academy recently.

Wow, lots of deaths of note (to me) recently. Certainly Arthur Penn. Gloria Stewart's passing almost led me to watch Titanic that night. Almost.

I'm probably the only one who has a big thing for one of Eddie Fisher's small hits, Dungaree Doll, but I was singing it all day the day he passed.

And Tony Curtis! Waaaaaaaaaa. I demand a screening of The Great Race at Casa Chihuahua! So many great roles. Wasn't he in Sparticus, or some other film or films where he played some Roman slave boy? Or was that several films? Um, lemme see, Harry Houdini, Cary Grant Knock-Off in Some Like It Hot, and of course, the sparkle-toothed Great Leslie!

R.I.P. all.

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.
