Was there really room on the door for Jack in Titanic? Decades after the film’s release, Kate Elizabeth Winslet has finally cleared up the mystery surrounding the iconic floating debris, revealing it wasn’t a door at all but rather a piece of floating wood.
During an interview on at a 92nd street Y event, English actress Winslet recalled how the water wasn’t as deep as it appeared in the film, stating, “That was quite an awkward tank. Because, to burst the bubble, it was waist height at that time.”
She joked about the challenges of the shoot, revealing, “I was regularly like, ‘Can I just go for a pee?’ I’d have to climb off the door and walk to the edge of the tank, which was sort of 20 feet away.”
Reflecting on her rise to fame, Winslet mentioned the pressure she felt afterward, saying “I felt like I had to look a certain way, or be a certain thing, and because media intrusion was so significant at that time, my life was quite unpleasant.”
Titanic released in 1997, tells the love story of Jack and Rose aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic. Their romance blossoms amid class struggle and the ships tragic sinking, capturing the hearts of audience worldwide.
The film was directed, written and produced by James Cameron.
