The 1997 blockbuster movie Titanic is a timeless American film. One of the most famous scenes in the film comes at the end of the movie.
The people on board had had had to exit the ship after it hit an iceberg. Jack Dawson (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) sacrifices his life to save his love interest Rose (played by Kate Winslet). He uses a door to keep her afloat and he ultimately drowns.
That infamous door from the scene auctioned for a whopping $718,750, according to TMZ.
“The door Kate Winslet infamously clung to at the end of Titanic has sold for a hefty price. Beating out other impressive film memorabilia at an auction,” TMZ wrote.
“The slab of wood that played a role in Leonardo DiCaprio’s onscreen death recently sold for an impressive $718,750 during Heritage Auctions’ Treasures from Planet Hollywood event. Making it the priciest sale at the auction.”
Rose’s Purple Dress From ‘Titanic’ Sells For Hefty Price
The iconic door was just one of the props from the movie that went for a hefty price. The purple dress that Winslet donned during the majority of the sinking scenes also sold for six figures. But it was just a modest $125k compared to the door. Still, two props sold for nearly a million dollars. Not too shabby for a film that’s nearly 30 years old.
“The door wasn’t the only Titanic memorabilia sold at the event. The pale purple and pink chiffon dress Kate wore as Rose for most of the film’s sinking scenes was also sold. But [it] only went for $125k,” TMZ added.
