Gloria Stuart

When I graduated from Santa Monica High in 1927, I was voted the girl most likely to succeed. I didn't realize it would take so long.

I have enjoyed acting very much, because I know it's not for real!

When I was little I thought, isn't it nice that everybody celebrates on my birthday? Because it's July 4th.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

I'm awkward at these things. Just being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Karate Kid was a real surprise and I was a little uncomfortable.

I knew I wanted to be an actress as soon as I popped out.
