Kate Winslet’s Nude Drawing from ‘Titanic’ for Sale
Record-breaking romance Titanic launched the careers of its stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, and gave director James Cameron the means to begin work on what would become the even more record-breaking Avatar. And what was it that made Winslet and DiCaprio stars? It could’ve been “I’m king of the world!” or “I’m flying, Jack.” It could’ve been the incredible special effects that went into the sinking of the Titanic. But it was probably Winslet’s nude scene.
Now, someone will own a piece of movie history, as the nude drawing that Jack sketches of Rose was auctioned off last weekend. The scene is handled with tenderness and class, and represents a big moment of trust for socialite Rose and poor artist Jack; she says, “I want you to sketch me like one of your girls. Wearing this.” (Meaning, the Heart of the Ocean necklace.) “Only this.”
I always knew that DiCaprio didn’t actually sketch the drawing, but it turns out that it was Cameron who drew it; those are his hands you see moving over the paper. The sketch was expected to pull in up to $16,000, but no word on the exact price for which it sold.
