QUESTION: WHY IS THE WORLD STILL FASCINATED BY THE TITANIC TRAGEDY 100 YEARS LATER? "What makes it so haunting and iconic is that it was a microcosm of the world; whoever you are, there was someone like you on board," said Julian Fellows, who wrote the new min-series "Titanic" that was shown on ABC April 14th and 15th. I saw it and it was definitely class-conscious.
QUESTION: WERE ROSE AND JACK (FROM THE MOVIE) BASED ON REAL PASSENGERS ON THE TITANIC? The characters played by Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio in director John Cameron's film were inspired by two star-crossed lovers, but neither was on the ship. Cameron said that Jack and Rose are "Romeo and Juliet on the Titanic."
HEAR A SURVIVOR TELL HIS STORY The recently published book "A Rare Titanic Family: The Caldwells' Story of Survival" follows the family's incredible escape from the ship.
You can hear patriarch Albert Caldwell tell of the escape told shortly before his death at www.parade.com/caldwell.
