In September 2000, Stuart unveiled her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in front of a Pig 'n Whistle café that had opened its doors in 1927 when Stuart was still in high school.
She also made guest appearances on several television series, including the 2000 science fiction series The Invisible Man; Touched by an Angel, and General Hospital.
Although once again reduced to minor roles, Stuart's last two movies were for director Wim Wenders.
In 1999, she worked on The Million Dollar Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
In 2004, she appeared in Wenders' Land of Plenty, her final film.

In 2006, Stuart donated her screen printing equipment to Mills College, where an exhibition of her work was held.
On June 19, 2010, despite her illness, Stuart appeared in person to be honored by the Screen Actors Guild for her years of service.
At a luncheon, she was presented the Ralph Morgan Award by Titanic co-star Frances Fisher.
James Cameron and Shirley MacLaine were among the luncheon attendees.

From the time Stuart was announced in the Titanic cast, she appeared before the camera for interviews on subjects as diverse as Groucho Marx, Shirley Temple, James Whale, horror movies and friends Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy.

Stuart was diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of 94, many decades after she had quit smoking.
Until that point, she had enjoyed remarkably good health for her advanced age aside from taking cortisone shots for knee pain.
She underwent radiation treatment, but in time the cancer returned and she underwent a shorter course of radiation.
The malignancy continued to spread, but slowly due to her age.
She lived six years after her initial diagnosis and reached her centenary.

Stuart, still in decent health, celebrated her 100th birthday on July 4, 2010, hosted by James Cameron and Suzy Amis as well as family and friends at the ACE Gallery in Beverly Hills.
There Stuart saw many of her paintings and serigraphs, artist's books, samples of her découpage and trees from her bonsai collection exhibited in the gallery.
