A 'Titanic' Child Star Says a Devastating Scene Was Cut: "Heavily Rejected by Moms"

Alex Owens-Sarno in Titanic.

Any fan of Titanic (so, everyone?) remembers Cora, the little girl who dances with Leonardo DiCaprio's Jack Dawson at that rowdy party for the lower class passengers. And while Cora, who is played by Alex Owens-Sarno, is only in the film briefly, her presense is definitely memorable, particularly because Jack sweetly tells her, "You're still my best girl, Cora." I mean, you can see why this guy was the biggest heartthrob of all time in 1997. They were really laying it on thick.

When Titanic was filmed, Owens-Sarno was only eight years old. Today, she's 36, and in a new interview, she opened up about her time on set and how she was originally going to be featured in more of the movie. It turned out, though, that another scene she filmed was far too upsetting. That's right, too upsetting in a movie that is already about one of the most terrible disasters of all time.
