‘Titanic’ child star reveals the heartbreaking scene that got cut after being ‘heavily rejected by moms’: ‘Way too much’
“Titanic” revealed a heart-rending scene that was included in an early edit of the film, which was cut because it was too devastating.Alex Owens-Sarno, who portrayed the young third-class passenger Cora in the 1997 epic about the ill-fated ocean liner, spoke about the scene in the February 10 episode of the “After We Wrap” podcast.Owens-Sarno, now 36, told host Gabriella Ortiz that working on the Oscar-winning movie was “great” and shared memories from her time on set.One of the actress’ most well-known moments from the movie’s final version is when she dances with Leonardo DiCaprio during a lively party on the third-class deck. As DiCaprio’s character, Jack then goes to take a turn with Rose (Kate Winslet), he tells a jealous-looking Cora, “You’re still my best girl, Cora.”Despite already being an established star, Owens-Sarno didn’t initially know who DiCaprio was at the time.“Our first scene that we filmed was this scene that ended up getting cut, and when we went home that day, my mom was like, ‘Do you know who you were on camera with?’ and I was like, ‘Leo, my friend!’” she recalled.
