She left acting after World War II and turned to painting, where she adopted a primitive style reminiscent of Grandma Moses. She later developed a line of blank artists' books.
In the 1997 film, Stuart played the older incarnation of Kate Winslett's Rose Calvert - the character who turned the movie from a tragedy in which 1,490 people died into a bittersweet tale where a single locket showed love could endure.
At the end of 2002, the actress appeared on GENERAL HOSPITAL in a special Roaring '20s episode.
She celebrated her 100th birthday July 4 at a lavish Hollywood party attended by, among others, Titanic director James Cameron.
