In 1996, Gloria Stuart was aboard a Russian scientific research vessel in front of the cameras for James Cameron's movie Titanic. While she was playing "Old Rose," another production was taking place at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens inSan Marino, California. The first annual Bonsai-A-Thon fundraiser (Figure 1) to support the Golden State Bonsai Federation—Collection South was in the planning stages, and yours truly was the one making the plans, with the generous help of the bonsai community. Gloria Stuart was one of the many bonsai artists who participated or contributed items to the fundraiser's success.
