Harcus Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 point for young Andrew. Actress Gloria Stuart, who played an elderly shipwreck survivor in the film Titanic, has died at the age of 100. The blonde actress appeared in several films during the 1930s, before retiring from acting in 1946. Stuart resumed acting in later years and at 87 became the oldest actor ever to be nominated for an Oscar for her performance as Rose Calvert, a 101-year-old Titanic survivor. Stuart died in her sleep in her Los Angeles home, her family said. The native Californian also starred in The Invisible Man and two Shirley Temple movies. Stuart, who studied drama and philosophy in college, helped found the Screen Actors Guild, a trade union that represents actors. She was under contract with Universal Studios and 20th Century in the 1930s. The Hollywood veteran was diagnosed with breast cancer about five years ago, but survived the disease. "She just paid no attention to illness. She was a very strong woman and had other fish to fry," Stuart's daughter, Sylvia Thompson, said. Titanic became the world's highest-grossing movie of all time in 1997, until the movie Avatar claimed the title in 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 My wife looked a bit puzzled when I saw the headline last night and said, "Oh cool, Tony Curtis has died" I got a bit excited last week when Jimmy carter was taken into hospital, turned out to be nothing too serious. Still plenty of time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverick sheep Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Tributes have been paid to agony aunt Claire Rayner, who has died at the age of 79. She told her relatives she wanted her last words to be: "Tell David Cameron that if he screws up my beloved NHS I'll come back and bloody haunt him." She worked for the Sun, Sunday Mirror and Woman's Own and was named medical journalist of the year in 1987. She also wrote a string of novels. In May she had intestinal surgery but had remained poorly. She died in hospital near her home in Harrow, north-west London. Mrs Rayner, who had three children - Amanda, Adam and restaurant critic Jay - will have a humanist funeral for family and close friends. A former nurse and midwife, for many years she was also president of the Patients Association. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at 70, but beat the illness. In 2006 she wrote about her experience on the BBC News website. Claire Rayner Claire Rayner was one of the pioneers of promoting safe sex Her husband of 53 years, Des Rayner, said: "I have lost my best friend and my soulmate. I am immensely proud of her." Mr Rayner, who was also her agent and manager, said: "Through her work she helped hundreds of thousands of people and doubtless, by talking frankly about the importance of safe sex in the 80s when almost nobody else would discuss it, helped to save thousands of lives. "Right up until her death she was being consulted by both politicians and the medical profession about the best way to provide the health services the nation deserved and nothing mattered to her more than that. Her death leaves a vacancy which will not be filled." In 1996 she was awarded the OBE for "services to women's issues and health issues". She was involved with 50 charities, and was a member of the Prime Minister's Commission on Nursing and the last government's Royal Commission on the Care of the Elderly. Her no-nonsense manner led to the BBC employing her to demonstrate how to put on a condom and she was one of the first people used by advertisers to promote sanitary towels. Born into a Jewish family, she later became president of the British Humanist Association, whose chief executive, Andrew Copson, said: "Claire Rayner found meaning and inspiration in living and the enjoyment of life, in trying to fulfil her potential, and in the wonders of nature and the marvels of the cosmos. "She was a remarkable woman with broad interests and deep sympathies who lived an exemplary humanist life and we all feel lucky to have known her and to have had her support for so many enjoyable years." The chief executive of the Patients' Assocation, Katherine Murphy, expressed her "deep sadness" at the news and added: "For almost 30 years Claire has devoted so much of her time and energy to championing patients' issues. She was a figurehead and inspiration to us all." Her close friend, Baroness Helena Kennedy, said: "She was an extraordinary woman - passionate, committed, warm and exuberant. The key thing about Claire was that she was a campaigner to her toes - her mission was to improve the lot of others and she did it with great humility and common sense."
