In 1997, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet became celebrities because of their roles in the blockbuster movie "Titanic." Millvina Dean is the only remaining survivor of that once doomed ship. So now, Leo, Kate and Director James Cameron have teamed up to assist Dean in paying her bills.
Millvina Dean is now 98-years-old and living in a nursing home. She was having trouble paying her expenses, so the celeb trio have teamed up and given $30,000 to Dean.
Nice to see real world and the world that created such a giant movie hit can come together so nicely, to help out Millvina Dean.
