Since James Cameron brought ‘Titanic’ to the big screen in 1997, the cast’s careers have taken off
It was Friday, December 19, 1997 when theaters in the United States were packed with spectators eager to learn about the love story between Jack and Rose aboard the “unsinkable” Titanic. James Cameron’s film was acclaimed not only for its plot and great performances, led by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, but also for the majesty of its visual effects and the realistic sinking of the great ship.
Titanic became an unforgettable classic that made us sing My Heart Will Go On over and over again, even though it is not the favorite song of its performer Celine Dion. Since then, with its 26th birthday and the number 27 running, television stations love to broadcast this film at Christmas time so we have the faces of the cast tattooed in our memory. Today, to refresh those portraits, we present to you what the cast members currently look like.
