Rose Dawson?

I have researched the Titanic for over two years now and as I watch interviews; it says there was a woman one the Titanic named Rose. She did have an "affair" with a man from a lower class and she did have a sexual relationship with him. When the ship sank, "Jack" died. She stayed with Molly and made Molly promise to never tell her mother of ex-fiance she had survived. When she moved to California she did become an actress and do all those things she %26amp; "Jack" talked about. A while after she had been in California she found out she was pregnant %26amp; named her baby Jacquline (sp?). Later she met a man named John and had two children with him. Please telll me your opinions- I am dying!

Rose Dawson?
Who knows? It could be true. Rarely is fiction truly fiction. It is usually based on things that happened to someone. It is possible as a lot of the records that were on the ship did not include many of the lower class passengers names. It would also have been easy to assume an identity during the tragedy. It was not a time when they tracked people with computers like today. And as far as someone saying that she would be seen if she was an actress: this was a time period when few movies were actually being made. There were some movies, but not a yearly average like now. So it was possible for some of the actors to work a lifetime during that age and never be known on the opposite side of the nation. People are too skeptical and too quick to call somebody wrong. You said that you saw it on an interview and you have been studying it for two years. Do you have to prove yourself? Can anybody state what interview that was seen and exactly what was said? There are thousands of stories about the Titanic. I don't think even James Cameron or Rob Ballard have read them all. She didn't ask for you to criticize her or call her a liar. She asked what was your opinion on what she saw. It is possible that is all I will say.
Reply:that is cool I never knew that?
Reply:So there really was a boat named the Titanic that sank? I'll be damned.
Reply:So Titanic was somewhat true. Huh, all these years I assumed it was made up for the movie. That does make the movie somewhat more enjoyable to watch knowing that Rose wasn't some silly charracter, she was a girl who actually survivied. Where did you find all of this? I'd be interested to read up on it.
Reply:Kinda sounds like you watched Titanic one too many times...the end of the movie is WOW...almost exactly like that....duh



yes...Titanic did sink...but no...there was no Jack or Rose...and the movie was longer then it took the real Titanic to sink.
Reply:How do they know all this? Where did you get this research from?



Having a passenger named "Rose" on a ship in 1912 would not have been unusual, it was a popular name at the time. As to where you got the other info from...... "Rose" would have had a surname - there are numerous published passenger lists, lists of survivors, and documentation from subsequent legal action surrounding from the Titanic - which "Rose" is this? What's her surname?



This "Molly" you are talking about - is this Molly Brown? Molly Brown had a pretty well documented life after surviving the Titanic - it is strange none of this is mentioned in her memoirs.



When she moved to California and became an actress, what name was she working under? Has anyone been able to find her on any playbills or contracted players? Details of any agent? Any evidence of where she lived? How long after the Titanic disaster was this? Must only have been a number of weeks if she found out she was pregnant after she moved.



So, according to this story.... in a matter of weeks she survived a well publicised major shipwreck, recovered from hypothermia, hid from her family, established a fake identity, with no more than the clothes on her back managed to track down and move in with a famous person she had just met, then moved to California, became an actress and then discovered she was pregnant!



Holy cow.



The child she bore - where are their birth records? Where is this person now? Then the subsequent marriage - is there certification? And her two other children - what were their names? Where are their birth records and where are they now?



And why on earth would someone who was trying to hide their identity by pretending to be dead become an actress? How daft is that? Someone sees you onstage or in a move and you're cooked. And they did make a substantial number of movies in those days.



My opinion? The story doesn't sound plausable. Not having any surnames in the story to track any authenticity smacks of "urban myth" to me.



The movie makers and script writers have alreday stated many, many times that IT WAS A WORK OF FICTION. They used a real event and then fictionalised characters around it. No more, no less.
Reply:We need more information- where did you get this info?
Reply:The character of Rose Dawson was not based on any particular person that really was on the ship, it's probably just a coincidence.
