Kate Winslet Says Titanic 'Door' from Famous Scene Was Actually Another Piece of the Ship: 'Wasn't Even a Door'

Kate Winslet said in a new TV interview that the often-debated 'door' scene in 'Titanic' didn't actually feature a door — but rather another piece of the 1997 film's titular ship.

Titanic director James Cameron also previously commissioned a scientific study to determine if there really was enough room for both Jack and Rose on the floating debris, when he and a team of scientists tapped two stunt doubles to reenact four different scenarios. During a92nd Street Y Q&A for Lee back in September, Winslet shared some additional insight on the scene, joking that DiCaprio, 49, has probably "got PTSD" from being asked about the Titanic moment so many times.
