Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as you've never seen them before: exclusive photos from the filming of Titanic (13 photos)
In amateur photographs by an unknown author, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet appear as the famous Jack and Rose. The images were taken during the filming of James Cameron's blockbuster in Mexico in 1996. 
Winslet, 21, sits in the black coat and white life jacket her character donned before diving into the icy Atlantic at the end of the film. 
The 1997 epic drama is dedicated to the sinking of the legendary Titanic in April 1912.
A passenger liner leaving Southampton bound for New York sank after hitting an iceberg, killing more than 1,500 people. 
The photographs were taken in the Mexican border city of Rosarito, where an almost life-size model of the airliner was built for filming. 
DiCaprio, 22, talks to Cameron. He's wearing modern sunglasses that don't match his Edwardian outfit. 
Kathy Bates, who plays Molly Brown, poses for the camera with one of the actresses.

In several photographs, Winslet's character is captured in an impeccable white suit and a large hat, and the camera is only half a meter away from her 
There are a total of 44 photographs in the archive. A few years ago they were acquired by a British collector, and now they are being offered for sale by Henry Aldridge & Son of Devizes from Wiltshire. Starting price: £1,500. 
Auctioneer Andrew Aldridge commented: "These are stunning photographs. They provide a unique insight into the behind-the-scenes of the highest-grossing film of the 20th century. The great thing is that they were taken by one of the crew with his own camera. These are not professional PR shots, but amateur work." . A very young Leonardo DiCaprio appears in many of the photographs. By that time, he had already starred in “Romeo and Juliet,” but it was “Titanic” that made him a star of the first magnitude. It is amazing how similar the model of the “Titanic” with scaffolding is to a real liner at the shipyard in Belfast in 1911."
