Infamous Titanic floating door prop sells for $718,750
The much-debated door from the 1997 film, which only had room to save Kate Winslet’s Rose but not Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack, has sold at auction
Ever since the release of Titanic in 1997, debate has raged over whether the piece of wood which keeps Kate Winslet’s Rose out of the icy waters could in fact have also accommodated her lover, Jack, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Other key lots at the Heritage Auctions’ Treasures from Planet Hollywood event included Winslet’s chiffon dress from Titanic’s finale, which sold for $125,000 (£98,743), Indiana Jones’s bullwhip from The Temple of Doom ($525,000/£414,717) and Jack Nicholson’s axe from The Shining ($125,000/£98,743). Meanwhile, Bill Murray’s red rose bowling ball from Kingpin fetched $350,000 (£276,454) and Tobey Maguire’s black symbiote suit from Spider-Man 3 sold for $125,000 (£98,743).
