The True Story Behind The Drawing of Rose from Titanic
Who made the drawing of Rose from Titanic, is something that you may have wondered, or probably not. On the contrary, if you are a curious person, it is possible that you already know it, although frankly the probabilities are very low since the secret was revealed very recently.
Twenty years after the premiere of 'The Titanic', the details
of one of the most emblematic scenes of the film were revealed: Rose's
drawing.
In this scene Rose DeWitt asks her crush on her Jack
Dawson to draw her completely n@ked 'like one of her French girls'.
The young man agrees and although he is quite a
professional, he blushes when the beautiful redhead drops the black silk
garment that covers her n@ked body on the beautiful carpets of her cabin.
This
scene is one of the best made in the film because it really seems that
Leonardo DiCaprio (the young Dawson) is the one who drew Rose.
This thanks to the close up of his eyes and
the grafting of another frame in which we see hands full of charcoal making
these lines.
However, the person who did the drawing of Rose was
not Jack, but another member of the production, someone who apparently has
many talents that we had ignored.
Well, but then, who did the drawing of Rose from Titanic?
Nothing more and nothing less than the director of the film
himself, the extremely talented James Cameron, who in addition to standing
out as a film director for his fascinating special effects, is also a great
cartoonist because all the drawings in Jack Dawson's notebook are the work
of Cameron .
Another interesting fact is that Rose's drawing is valued at
16,000 dollars, after an art collector bought it for this value at an
auction in 2011 in which it reached that price.
The drawing is
also signed with the initials J.D. (by Jack Dawson) and is dated April 14,
1912, one day before the Titanic sank.
