A fiery debate erupted between the hosts of a New Zealand morning radio show over the 1997 Hollywood blockbuster movie Titanic. 'Is she not the real Rose? 'I can't believe it's not the real Rose!!' Titanic director James Cameron has previously confirmed that although the character of Rose is not real, the character was inspired by a real person, American artist Beatrice Wood. Film buffs have also previously noted that while there was a real-life passenger named Rose on-board the Titanic, her life story is not the same as the Rose character in the movie.
