the story of my great, great aunt!!!
Of course they changed the story a bit for dramitic effect.
Her name wasn't Rose, they thought her real name was a bit boring. She didn't really meet a talented but penniless artist
named Jack and get swept off her feet and fall in love. It is true that she never married after the Titanic sank but that
was, I think, more due to the fact that she really wasn't a very pleasant lady, rather than "lost love".
I don't think anyone will be surprised that the "I'm the king of the world" scene on the bow of the ship was PURE fantasy.
She wasn't even from a wealthy family and I don't think she was ever in a First Class cabin in her life. She was, naturally,
Australian, not British or American.
And her "Jack" didn't die when the Titanic sank. To to be pefectly honest, she wasn't actually ON the Titanic, they just added
in the ship bit to spice up her story.....But she did kiss a boy in a car once.
