Gloria Stuart, who played the older Rose in Oscar-winning flick Titanic, has turned 100. (Kate Winslet played Rose as a young woman in the movie.)

PHOTOS: What the stars are up to

Stuart celebrated her 100th birthday on Sunday with more than 100 family members and friends, including Shirley MacLaine, Tom Arnold and Frances Fisher. Director James Cameron and his wife Suzy Amis hosted the fete at the Ace Gallery in Beverly Hills. Not there: Winslet or Leonardo DiCaprio.

Cameron, who is converting the 1997 Oscar-winning film into 3-D for re-release in April 2012, the 100th anniversary of the ship's sinking, told the Los Angeles Times: "Gloria's so alive, and her creativity, her artistry and the sparkle in her eyes is a challenge to all of us to live as fully and richly as she has and will continue to do as she heads into her 101st year."

Stuart was born July 4, 1910 in Santa Monica. Her family's roots can be traced to the gold rush town of the Angels Camp, according to the Times.

    Wow the odds of being 87 and living to be 100 are incredibly high, must be in the thousands to one. That she was 87 playing a 100 yr old and actually lived that long, truly incredible!

    I loved her in Titanic, especially the part where she dropped the "Heart of the Ocean" necklace overboard. She looks fantastic and it's been 13 years since the movie! Her eyes are so full of life. That must be her secret to longevity.

    Very cool! Happy birthday, Gloria.

    she probably remembers the days when white male asian female couples were illegal. She's seen alot of change in her years. Anyways, now I want to know if she ate meat all these years or if she was a vegetarian. And I want to know if she drank red wine regulary. (people say it adds years to your life)
