Behind the Scenes: Scene Facts: The Woman in the Picture


  1. Rose, in her old age, owns a Pomeranian. A Pomeranian was one of only three dogs known to have survived the disaster. As the real ship sank, a passenger freed dogs from their kennels, and a survivor later recalled a French bulldog swimming in the ocean. Cameron filmed scenes portraying the doomed animals but cut them.

  2. Cameron modeled Old Rose after 103-year old sculptress Beatrice Wood of Ojai California.

  3. Rose's name comes from Cameron's grandmother.

  4. Originally Cameron wanted to have a survivor play this part, but found that most of the survivors either were too young to remember the sinking or too frail to survive the long trip and shooting hours.

  5. Although the camera pans over photographs in Old Rose's house, any pictures that Old Rose carried with her on the Keldysh are not shown until the end of the movie.

  6. During test screening, it was discovered that many viewers didn't know the band played to the end. Cameron decided to add a few lines about the band to the television interview with Lovett.
