Reel Mama got star struck with Titanic's Gloria Stuart

It's the fifteenth anniversary of Titanic, and having the movie back in theaters brings back a favorite personal memory of mine: meeting Titanic star Gloria Stuart at the Women in Film (WIF) Foundation Legacy Series.

I have to admit to getting star struck with the great actress of Hollywood’s Golden Age, who experienced a resurgence in popularity when she played Old Rose.

The WIF Legacy series interviews women who leave an indelible mark on Hollywood.  They have been leaders in the industry and serve as an inspiration for all women currently working in Hollywood, and for young women who wish to pursue a career in film.  These special interviews, including Gloria Stuart’s, are archived at UCLA and are available to the public for viewing with an appointment.  Click here for more information.

Enjoy seeing Titanic in 3-D at the movies this weekend, and when you watch Gloria’s performance, remember that she is one of the most important trailblazers Hollywood has ever seen!
