Kate Winslet Titanic Movie
|
Kate Winslet Titanic performance came at a time when she was a young 19 year old actress. She starred as Rose DeWitt Bukater. Cameron said Kate Winslet "had the thing that you look for" and that there was "a quality in her face, in her eyes," that he "just knew people would be ready to go the distance with her". Cameron said about her casting: 'A 19-year-old girl who was going to carry a film of that scale on her shoulders, it's a huge responsibility. You're standing on set surrounded by 2,000 extras and all the lights and cameras are pointed at you. If you don't pull it off, it doesn't work. |

Kate Winslet Titanic movie performance as Rose
Rose is a 17-year-old girl, originally from Philadelphia, who is forced into an engagement to 30-year-old Cal Hockley so she and her mother, Ruth, can maintain their high-class status after her father's death had left the family debt-ridden.
Gwyneth Paltrow, Claire Danes, and Gabrielle Anwar had been considered for the role. When they turned it down, 22-year-old Kate Winslet campaigned heavily for the role. She sent Cameron daily notes from England, which led Cameron to invite her to Hollywood for auditions .
As with Leonardo DiCaprio, casting director Mali Finn originally brought her to Cameron's attention.
When looking for a Rose for the Titanic film , Cameron described the character as "an Audrey Hepburn type" and was initially uncertain about casting Winslet even after her screen test impressed him.After she screen tested with Leonardo DiCaprio, Winslet was so thoroughly impressed with him, that she whispered to Cameron, "He's great.
Even if you don't pick me, pick him." Winslet sent Cameron a single rose with a card signed "From Your Rose" and lobbied him by phone to be Kate Winslet Titanic.
