Summary:

\"When Gloria Stuart checked her horoscope on June 14, 1997, here\'s what she read: \'You are on your way to a big hit--possible stardom!\' How right it was!

Since her youthful days as a headstrong \'flapper\' in Santa Monica, California, Gloria Stuart had dreamed of doing \'something big and great,\' and by her early twenties she was a Hollywood Movie Star--\'capital M, capital S.\' But who could have known that she would have to wait almost seventy years for the role of a lifetime, that of Old Rose in James Cameron\'s epic film Titanic. And who could have known that at the age of eighty-seven, Gloria Stuart would become the oldest actor ever nominated for an Academy Award.

It was extraordinary. But then, even by Hollywood standards, Gloria Stuart has always led an extraordinary life. In this candid, irreverent memoir, she describes her early Hollywood years with delicious, gossipy energy. A legendary beauty, she was featured in forty-six films, including such classics as The Invisible Man, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, and cult favorite James Whale\'s Old Dark House. Her husband, Arthur Sheekman, worked on most of the Marx Brothers\' hits and was, in fact, known as \'the fifth Marx brother.\' Gloria peppers her memoir with memorable anecdotes about Groucho Marx, Dorothy Parker, Charlie Chaplin, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, the brilliant food writer M. F. K. Fisher, humorist Robert Benchley, and many others.

And it is an inspirational story as well, for Gloria is a woman who has refused to let obstacles and disappointment hold her back. She has continually reinvented herself--as an actress, a political activist, an artist. Throughout Gloria Stuart\'s long life, she has never stopped hoping \'for great roles, great adventures, great things.\' This is her remarkable story.\"
