PEOPLE Titanic at 25 Are you ready to go back to Titanic? In this new special edition, PEOPLE takes you inside the journey to film the romance-disaster epic that made stars of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, won 11 Oscars—including for Celine Dion’s love theme, My Heart Will Go On and changed Hollywood as the first movie to top a $1 billion at the box office. Filled with photos and stories from the set, the issue illustrates the beauty of the recreated luxury ship, from the china in the first-class dining room to the glorious costumes, and looks at what it took to sink a nearly full-size replica in a massive tank built just for writer-director James Cameron’s vision. Also here: How the stunning Heart of the Ocean necklace came to life and was auctioned for one of Princess Diana’s charities. Plus, in an exclusive interview, James Cameron talks about his ongoing obsession with the real RMS Titanic and reuniting with Kate Winslet for his Avatar sequel. Also, we have the stories of actual people aboard the doomed ship, their descendants today, and the true lives of those who inspired characters in the blockbuster film. Finally, we tackle the question that has vexed film fans and physicists for 25 years—could Jack have fit on that door?
