Behind the Scenes: Scene Facts: Portrait




  1. Filmed September 19, 1996

  2. The painting by Monet was chosen for Jack, who likes its visual truth.

  3. Rose takes the butterfly comb from her hair - Rose's hair is worn up when she is with her first class circle, but down during many of her scenes with Jack, signifying her rebellion.

  4. The drawing of Kate Winslet was created by James Cameron.

  5. The line "Get on the bed... the couch" was something DiCaprio accidentally said and was not in the script. Cameron left it in, thinking that it was a perfect reaction.

  6. This scene was the first time DiCaprio and Winslet worked together on the set.

  7. Rose's kimono was designed to support the butterfly theme (in addition to the butterfly comb, the flying scene, and lines from Old Rose that were cut).

  8. Rose's engagement ring is missing when she exits the dressing room.

  9. To loosen DiCaprio up, Winslet flashed him during their first meeting. Both agreed that this helped them relax a bit and chuckle over what Winslet did.

  10. The sunken fireplace in the dissolve was actually from the suite reserved for J.P. Morgan (he cancelled his trip shortly before Titanic's launch).

  11. The hands sketching Rose are clearly too old to belong to Jack. Cameron's hands, which are drawing the sketch, are spliced between the close-up shots of DiCaprio.

  12. The dime Rose uses to pay Jack is a "Barber" dime. The Barber dime is distinctive because the portrait of Liberty on the head of the coin faces the right, not the left. It is oft-sited as a mistake, but they were minted between 1892 and 1916 and would have been in circulation in 1912.
