In response to the passing of Hollywood actress Gloria Stuart, who died yesterday after a long battle with lung cancer, Leonardo DiCaprio has expressed his condolences.

In a statement released to US Weekly, DiCaprio said that Stuart was “one of the last great actresses from the golden age of Hollywood.” Here’s the statement…

“Gloria Stuart was a force both on and off screen. An amazingly sweet person, a fantastic actress, and someone who always fought for what she believed in. She was one of the last great actresses from the golden era of Hollywood. I was honoured to have worked alongside her. She will be missed.”
