Titanic (1997)

Trivia: Director James Cameron knew he had found the perfect Jack in Leo DiCaprio when he invited the young actor to his office for an interview and he noticed that all his female staff were present for the meeting. Later on, during rehearsal, Kate Winslet was so impressed with DiCaprio that she said to James, 'Even if you don't hire me, hire him.' The rest, as they say, is history.

Titanic (1997)

Trivia: Kate Winslet badgered and bribed director James Cameron into getting this role the following ways: Once she sent him a rose with a card. Another was when she rang him up while he was driving in his Humvee and tearfully said, 'You don't understand! I am Rose! I don't understand why you're trying out someone else!' She eventually landed the role.

Trivia: Though James Cameron surrendered his director's pay check to make the film the way he wanted, he did retain his writer's fee, which was pretty big by itself.
