Posted on | June 22, 2009 | No Comments
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have donated money to the last survivor of the Titanic disaster. The Hollywood pair – who starred in the 1997 movie based on the 1912 sinking of the ill-fated ship – and the film’s director James Cameron contributed $30,000 to a fund for Millvina Dean, 98, to help her remain in an English nursing home.
Leonardo and Kate decided to help after seeing an appeal by photographer Don Mullan in the Irish Independent newspaper. Don had been trying to sell a special photograph of Millvina’s hands, titled “Still Surviving,” to raise money to help her.
Millvina was just nine weeks old when she was taken on board the ship as it set sail for America from Southampton, England, in 1912. (Showbiz)
