Titanic has a mix of fictional and real-life characters, and it made sure to include the ship's richest passenger – but who was it?
Although Titanic’s main story is fictional, it used the tragedy of the RMS Titanic as its basis, and as such, it also included characters based on real-life passengers of the ship, including the Titanic’s richest passenger – and here’s who it was. Although James Cameron has since made other visually outstanding movies, Titanic stands as one of his most ambitious and successful projects, mixing fiction with real-life elements and stories.
Titanic introduced the audience to Rose DeWitt Bukater , a first-class young woman, and Jack Dawson , a third-class passenger, who met and fell in love onboard the ship. Jack and Rose had to defend their romance from those who wanted to keep them apart, but they also met people from the first-class side of the ship who were polite and even understanding of their bond.
Astor married Ava Lowle Willing in 1891 and divorced in 1909, but he remarried shortly after, marrying 18-year-old Madeleine Talmage Force when he was 47. While traveling through Europe, Madeleine became pregnant and they decided their child would be born in the U.S. so they boarded the Titanic.
How James Cameron’s Titanic Portrayed John Jacob Astor IV Of course, James Cameron’s Titanic included John Jacob Astor IV among its characters, though not a prominent one. Rose tells Jack about Astor and his wife when they are at the first-class dinner, and he’s the one who asks Jack if he’s linked to the “Boston Dawsons”.
