A. Characters
Leonardo Dicaprio as Jack Dawson was a 20-year-old artist from Chippewa Falls,
Wisconsin. Orphaned at the age of 15, he worked a variety of jobs. After a stint as a
logger, he came to Santa Monica, California, where he drew portraits on the pier for 10
cents apiece. Working his way from place to place on tramp steamers and similar
accommodations, he went to Paris where he studied art. Subsequently, he found himself
able to return to his native land in the grandest style possible for one with no money:
sailing on Titanic on a ticket he won in a poker game.
Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater born to one of the very best families in
Philadelphia, was a mere 17 years old when she became engaged to Caledon Hockley.
Intelligent, poised, and beautiful, Rose had been schooled since childhood to be
everything a young woman of society was expected to be. Rose's betrothal to Hockley,
heir to a Pittsburgh steel fortune, was considered an admirable catch, a perfect pairing of
wealth and social position. Yet her spirit rebelled against the rigid confines and
expectations of Edwardian society controlling her destiny.
Billy Zane as Caledon Hockley was the 30-year-old scion of a wealthy Pittsburgh steel
family. Handsome, self-confident, rich beyond meaning, he aspired to sophistication and
insisted on propriety. He found in Rose DeWitt Bukater a suitable young woman to fill
the role of wife in his aristocratic future, and he presented her to his peers with the pride
of ownership, basking in others' reaction to her beauty and her pedigree. As a wedding
present for her, he purchased one of the largest and most valuable diamonds in the world,
the legendary blue stone once worn by Louis XVI known as the Coeur de la Mer - the
Heart of the Ocean.
Kathy Bates as Mrs. Margaret "Molly" Brown was the wife of a Colorado mining
millionaire. Intelligent though self-taught -- she spoke several languages -- she was a
plain-spoken woman without background in high society, who was generally shunned by
the socialites of Denver. When Titanic was sinking, she was evacuated in lifeboat #6,
under the command of Quartermaster Hichens. Having been at the wheel of Titanic when
she struck the iceberg, Hichens was completely unnerved and directed the boat away
from the sinking ship as fast as possible. He was terrified that they would be swamped by
the suction as the ship went down, or overwhelmed by swimmers desperate to be saved.
Mrs. Brown and several more women wanted to return to help save others, but they were
overruled by Hichens' bullying and by the frightened silence of the majority of the
lifeboat's passengers. As Hichens' fears became less and less rational, Mrs. Brown
effectively took over command of the boat and persuaded the women to help with the
rowing. Her heroism and selflessness during the disaster was much talked about
afterwards and earned her the moniker "The Unsinkable Molly Brown."
Frances Fisher as Ruth DeWitt Bukater mother of Rose, was a society empress from one
of the most socially prominent families in Philadelphia. After the death of her husband,
her family fell on hard times, but she was determined to achieve financial salvation
through her daughter's marriage to Caledon Hockley. A woman who ruled her household
with an iron wills, she was intolerant of Rose's rebellious nature, and found in Cal an ally
in her efforts to control Rose.
3. Bernard Hill as Captain Edward J. Smith joined White Star Line in 1880 and remained
with the company for the rest of his life. Popular with his crews as well as his passengers,
Smith was widely regarded as a charming, personable officer. He became the captain of
choice for many of the rich and powerful in the transatlantic set, earning the nickname
"the millionaire's captain." Through most of his long career, he had never been involved,
as he recounted in 1907, "in an accident of any sort worth speaking about. I never saw a
wreck and have never been wrecked, nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to
end in disaster of any sort." White Star had made it virtually a tradition to have Smith in
command on the maiden voyages of its important ships. At the conclusion of Titanic's
maiden voyage, Captain Smith was scheduled to retire in glory.
Jonathan Hyde as J. Bruce Ismay the 50-year-old Managing Director of White Star Line,
was one of the most powerful men in the shipping industry. Son of Thomas H. Ismay,
who founded the line in 1869, Joseph Bruce Ismay had ascended to the management of
the company with his brothers by the turn of the century. In 1902, the American financier
J. Pierpont Morgan, who was buying shipping companies for his enormous International
Mercantile Marine (IMM) trust, negotiated the purchase of White Star Line. J. Bruce
Ismay alone of his family remained with the company. In 1907, in response to the
competition posed by rival Cunard Line's new mammoth liners Lusitania and Mauretania,
Ismay conceived of a trio of even larger, grander and more luxuriant ships that would re-
assert White Star's dominance of the lucrative and prestigious transatlantic trade. Titanic
was the second of this trio. Ismay sailed on her maiden voyage, confident that Titanic
represented the triumph of his career.
David Warner as Spicer Lovejoy was valet and bodyguard to Caledon Hockley. An ex-
Pinkerton with a background in railroad security, his job was to keep Cal out of trouble
and protect the family name. In the course of his duties, he was ready to use whatever
means necessary, including the threat of physical force, to prevent anyone from
interfering with his employer.
Victor Garber as Thomas Andrews then aged 39, was the Managing Director of Harland
& Wolff Shipyards, nephew of Lord Pirrie (Harland & Wolff's chairman), and one of
Titanic's main designers. A tireless workaholic, he had supervised every detail of the
ship's construction and outfitting, and was the world's foremost expert on every aspect of
her. He sailed on Titanic with a hand-picked team of seven experts, the Harland & Wolff
"guarantee group," who spent most of the voyage trouble-shooting last-minute problems
and perfecting the finishing of this, the company's greatest creation. Andrews himself
brought along Titanic's complete blue-prints, and worked practically non-stop on the
voyage, carrying a notebook everywhere, making notes about imperfections and ideas for
improvements. He was, for instance, concerned that the coat-hooks were attached to the
walls with an unsightly number of screws, which he intended to change.
Danny Nuccy as Fabrizio De Rossi was a young Italian, about 20, with dreams of finding
success and happiness in America. A good friend of Jack Dawson's, he was playing poker
in a Southampton pub on the morning of April 10, 1912, with Jack and two brothers from
Sweden. At 11:55 AM, Jack won the last hand, cleaning out the Swedes of everything
including two third class tickets to New York on Titanic... which was casting off in
precisely 5 minutes He and Jack considered themselves the luckiest men in the world.

5. TITANIC
Beginning with treasure hunter Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) searching the Titanic wreck
for the fabled necklace named the Heart of the Ocean, the Titanic movie features actual footage
of the wreckage. After recovering a safe that was thought to belong to first class passenger
Caledon ‘Cal’ Hockley, played by Billy Zane, Lovett hopes to find the Heart of the Ocean
contained within. He finds nothing but soggy bank statements and a sketch of a naked woman
wearing the necklace, and Lovett believes that he has hit a dead end.
A woman by the name of Rose Calvert (Gloria Stuart) sees Lovett on the news and
contacts him. Lovett is uninterested in what she has to say at first, but becomes intrigued when
she tells him that she is the woman in the drawing. After being flown in to tell her story, we learn
that Rose Calvert was once Rose DeWitt Bukater and was a first class passenger on the Titanic.
She beings telling her experience on the doomed vessel. The movie begins with drifter Jack
Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) winning third class tickets for the Titanic in a poker game. Him
and his friend Fabrizio catch the ship just as it is leaving. It also shows first class passenger Rose
DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslett), her mother Ruth (Frances Fisher) and her fiance Cal Hockley.
Rose is on the way to Philadelphia to marry Hockley, an arrangement made by her mother to
protect her status of wealth. Unhappy with this decision, Rose attempts to commit suicide by
throwing herself from the Titanic.
She is confronted by Dawson who convinces her to come up from the railing. Rose
invites Jack to dinner as thanks, and after Jack spirits her away to a third class evening of
dancing. Rose decides to decide her own future and asks Jack, who is an acclaimed artist to draw
her nude wearing only the Heart of the Ocean. The two then find their way to the cargo hold and
find a rich man’s car waiting for them. They proceed to make love in the back seat before the
ship hits an iceberg. As people begin boarding lifeboats, Jack is arrested and locked in the master
at arms’ office. Instead of boarding a lifeboat, Rose goes back to help Jack and the two must
fight for survival. Jack and Rose’s fiancé Cal finally convince her to board a lifeboat, and Cal
assures her that he has made arrangements to get both men off of the boat safely. Cal double
cross Jack and Rose decides to go back for him yet again despite her being urged to stay on the
lifeboat. Rose finds Jack and Cal chases them into the flooded first-class dining room with a
pistol. Once they escape Cal, he returns to the deck and boards a lifeboat after pretending to look
after an abandoned child.
Rose and Jack go down with the ship and Jack helps her onto a door that can support the
weight of one person. While Jack is in the freezing water, they exchange loving words, and Jack
dies of hypothermia. Once aboard the Carpathia, Rose gives her name as Rose Dawson. She sees
Cal one more time frantically looking for her but hides her face in a blanket just as he looks in
her direction. Rose then proceeds to do everything that her and Jack promised to do together, and
lives her life. Back on Lovett’s ship, Rose walks to the side, produces the Heart of the Ocean and
tosses it overboard. In the last scene, Rose is met by Jack on the grand staircase of the Titanic,
they kiss and are applauded by those who were lost in the disaster. It isn’t known whether or not
she is dreaming or if she dies (Jack told her she would die in her bed as an old woman), and
James Cameron leaves this up to the viewer to decide.
