When Jack and Rose are both sure of their feelings, they meet in the privacy of the on-board lifeboat, and the girl asks her lover to sketch her “like one of his French girls”. Kate Winslet, who plays her, appears before Leonardo DiCaprio in all her glory, wearing only the Heart of the Ocean necklace. However, it turns out that one of the film’s most iconic scenes does not feature DiCaprio. The person sketching the naked actress is the film’s director James Cameron.
It was the director who created a small work on the set of a great work
Kate Winslet mentioned this in one of the interviews she gave to Stephen Colbert in 2017 on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the creation of “Titanic”. “No, Jim Cameron actually drew it. Maybe no one even realized it until now. Jim Cameron drew it and he actually sketched me.” Later, the actress added that she was not naked while working on the drawing, she was wearing a bathing suit.
All fans of the director know that he loves to draw. In 2021, he released the book “Tech Noir: The Art of James Cameron”, in which he included many of his drawings. It’s a real archive of his work, as you can find both sketches from his youth and concept art he created for his movies, like “Terminator”.
This scene in Kate Winslet’s life still resonates with hiccups
Kate Winslet has often mentioned in interviews that she is often asked about this scene, which is persistent for her. In a 2014 interview with the British portal, she confessed that the most irritating for her are the requests from fans who ask for an autograph of her nude photo from “Titanic”:
I’m not signing it. I feel very uncomfortable. Why would I do that? (…) People often ask me to sign this photo, actually it is a photo that someone took from a still from a film. It is probably passed on later. I always thought, ‘No, I didn’t want this to be a picture I’d be looking at 16, 17 years later,’ said Kate Winslet.
The actress last December on “The Graham Norton Show” that even her daughter experienced trouble at school because of this famous scene. It turns out that her classmate decided to embarrass her. “My daughter had this at school. It was pretty weird. She said someone came up to her after realizing after four years of being together at school that I was her mother. And he said to her, ‘Oh my god, I saw your mum’s tits. !« Winslet was saying.
