Kate Winslet recently shared behind-the-scenes details about the iconic door scene in the 1997 film “Titanic” during an advanced screening of her new movie “Lee.” According to Winslet, the scene in which Leonardo DiCaprio’s character freezes to death was filmed in a waist-high water tank, with DiCaprio kneeling down due to limited space. Winslet even joked about the awkwardness of the situation, and the challenges of needing to take bathroom breaks during filming. Despite the difficulties of shooting the scene, Winslet also revealed that the tank had constant water rushing, creating an immersive experience for the actors.
Winslet also discussed missing the premieres of “Titanic” due to illness and a funeral, leading her to sneak into screenings of the film later. She reflected on the impact of the movie on her career, acknowledging the fame it brought her and the joy it continues to bring audiences. Winslet’s openness about her experiences with “Titanic” contrasts with her initial struggles with fame, as she now embraces its significance in her life.
Winslet’s new movie “Lee,” in which she portrays the American photographer Lee Miller, is set to premiere in the US on September 27. Despite the challenges she faced during “Titanic,” Winslet’s willingness to share her memories and experiences with the film has endeared her to fans and demonstrates her enduring appreciation for the role that propelled her to superstardom.
