No i dont think she should have her mum is a nasty cow to her shes in it for the money thnx

so true........Rose was unfaithful and she did do the naughty in the back of a car..........however, I think her actions are a direct result of being controlled her whole life...........perhaps she was one of the first people ever to do it in the back seat of a car! That's a pretty important historical moment.

Why think she would do anything honorable? She cheated on her fiancé. She was engaged, had wedding invitations sent out however never the less cheated on her fiancé and had sex in the back seat of a automoble! I think she was a selfish, childish, and immature in her action.

Well, with becoming an actress Rose would have had money and if she had contact with her mother, she would have had to share her wealth with Ruth...no I don't think she did.

Hmmmm.....good point. Maybe Ruth croaked shortly after the ship sank and never saw Rose on the big screen. You know, movie houses were not as accessible as today and without radio and tv, there wasn't entertainment news available, therefore it is quite possible that Rose could have worked in movies without being found. Also, maybe Ruth went back to Europe after the sinking and never caught word of her daughter's new career........so many possibilities..........Cal killed himself in 1929, so he was out of the picture.....I dunno....good question.

I don't think Rose would have. Her mother doesn't necessarily care about Rose's wants, she cares about her own. She is more worried with being rich and wealthy than helping Rose be happy. Because of her greed, she would have no doubt told Cal where to find Rose, and they would be in the same position as the beginning of the movie.

I have often wondered.. if Rose Dawson became an actress in the 20's, wouldn't her mother or Cal have recognized her? Or maybe she wasn't a very big actress and wasn't in much, I don't know.

i would hope not her mother a awful woman who only cared about the family name and not her daughter.

just fiction, not true,lol

No because it's a film

Ditto!!! I agree with you 100% here!!! I would not trust Ruth any further that one can throw a coo stick...for fear that she would sick Cal on her daughter. Therefore--it is better for Rose to sever any ties she ever had between her and her mother. That way, she finally is free to live her life as she chooses...FREE from Cal and her mother.

I'm happy with the way the screenplay was written, by having her saying, "Dawson. Rose Dawson." to that Carpathia crew member.
