The
producer
of
Titanic,
Jon
Landau
has
said
that
Kate
was
suitable
for
the
role
of
Rose
because
she's
no
model
like
Gisele
Bundchen
or
Cindy
Crawford
and
ordinary
women
can
relate
to
her.
Jon
Landau
has
described
Rose
as
beautiful
and
thinks
that
women
can
aspire
to
be
like
Rose,
whose
self
determination
to
make
the
decision
to
leave
the
luxurious
life
she's
been
in
and
to
follow
her
heart
is
exemplary.
He
says
the
character
of
Rose
is
inspirational
as
she
goes
on
to
lead
a
full
and
enriched
life
despite
facing
tragedy
of
epic
proportions,
including
losing
the
love
of
her
life
in
the
freezing
waters
in
the
North
Atlantic.
Although
Kate
Winslet
denies
stalking
the
director
for
the
role,
she
thanks
her
stars
for
letting
Cameron
take
a
risk
in
casting
her.
She
says
she
got
lucky
because
a
lot
of
her
contemporaries
like
Uma
Thurman,
Gwyneth
Paltrow,
Winona
Ryder
had
more
chances
of
bagging
the
role.
Meanwhile,
director
James
Cameron
feels
he
was
the
lucky
one
to
have
found
the
perfect
Rose.
He
says
Kate
had
a
powerful
intelligence
and
strength
of
personality
and
a
vulnerability
that
made
him
choose
her.
He
knew
whoever
he
would
cast
would
have
to
carry
the
movie
on
her
shoulders,
and
according
to
the
director
who
is
known
to
be
perfectionist,
Kate
has
been
flawless.
