Deleted ‘Titanic' Scene Surfaces As Titanic Survivor’s Handwritten Letter Up For Auction
A deleted scene from the 1997 film “Titanic” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet has been released. Titled “Titanic (1997) Deleted Scene. How bout a little Ice,” the 30-second YouTube video of the deleted scene was viewed more than half a million times six days after it was published on Jan. 10.
While it is known for bagging 11 awards during the 1998 Academy Awards, including Best Director for James Cameron, “Titanic” apparently had a scene with a cheesy pun. Featured in the deleted scene is the character Molly Brown, also known as the "Unsinkable Molly Brown," played by Kathy Bates.
Molly sits in the fanciest restaurant of the Titanic drinking by herself. As a gigantic iceberg floats past the windows behind her, she snaps at the wait staff and asks, “Hey, sonny! How about a little ice?”
Meanwhile, a handwritten letter of real-life Titanic survivor Lady Lucy Duff-Gordon is up for auction in Boston on Jan. 21. The letter was dated May 27, 1912 and was written by Duff-Gordon to a friend in New York.
“How kind of you to send me a cable of sympathy from New York on our safety,” Duff-Gordon writes in the letter, CNN reported. She also writes, “According to the way we've been treated by England on our return we didn't seem to have done the right thing in being saved at all!!!! Isn't it disgraceful?” Duff-Gordon said.
