20 Things You Somehow Missed In Titanic

20. Gloria Stuart Wore Makeup To Look Older

Hollywood legend Gloria Stuart gave a terrific, Oscar-nominated performance in the film as the present-day, 100-year-old version of Rose, and while most audiences would assume that Stuart simply walked on-set and performed her role, she actually had to undergo a considerable makeup job first.

At the time of shooting, Stuart was in fact 87 years of age, and so makeup was applied to her face to make her look over a decade older, while her hair was also coloured white.

It's an extremely impressive and seamless effect, yet perhaps too subtle for its own good where awards are concerned, as Best Makeup and Hairstyling is just one of Titanic's three Oscar nominations that it didn't also win.

Somewhat poignantly, Stuart passed away in 2010 at the age of 100 - the very same age she played Rose as.
