Kate Winslet Titanic

She also found it exhilarating to be working on the film.
A number of her suggestions were used in the film, including the idea to spit in Cal’s face rather than poke him with a hairpin as it was originally written. The line Rose says to Jack as they cling to the bow of the ship, “This is where we first met!” was written by Winslet. She and DiCaprio developed a friendship during the filming, keeping each other’s spirits up between takes of being submerged in cold water on various sets. The chemistry between the two worked and millions of fans fell in love with Jack and Rose over and over again.
