Survivor’s Guilt is a real thing.

The story is actually so much worse. So Ms. Gibson had actually begged to be allowed to take a break from filming because her physical and mental health was deteriorating. Saved from the Titanic would be her 18th picture of 1912 ... remember she took a 6 week holiday and it took a month for her to recover and film. The producer she was seeing and later married then divorced played a hand in both delaying her initial vacation only being forced to allow it after she threatened to quit acting altogether. He didn't even let her finish before recalling her to star in a film he had previously lied about postponing. After hearing about the Titanic he hounded her for details and actually sent a private boat to get pictures of her, the surviors and her story to sell to the papers before she even landed. He was already harassing her to monetize her trauma before she even debarked the Carpathia. When I say harass I mean harass. He wouldn't even let her sleep or leave New York, she was never comfortable doing the film but he used emotional and probably actual blackmail threats to get her to agree. Even if she didn't want to quit acting an incident in 1913 in his sports car where she accidentally hit and killed a pedestrian led to the affair becoming public. He didn't marry her until 1917 and only then because of his own career ambitions and having a long time girlfriend was a hindrance to him. He married her after being appointed to the War Cooperation Subcommittee and almost 1 week exactly before his big meeting with president Woodrow Wilson and the Secretary of the Treasury to secure the contracts and funding to make US government propaganda and welfare films.. The legality of the marriage was challenged and it was dissolved 2 years later. By 1923 he had moved on to another young hopeful actress, Hope Hampton, whos career he managed of course. He also managed her opera and Broadway career. Fun factoid..the boozy flop of an opera singer in Citizen Kane is based on both his wives.

That’s really sad and fascinating. I’m really bummed that this movie was destroyed. I would love to see it.

Sad that the last copy was destroyed in the early 1900s. I'd love to see it.

Such a shame. I'd have loved to see it. Having a real survivor, even wearing the same clothes, would make such an impact

I feel one month later is just a bit too soon.

My Dad, at 23, tall, pale, skinny mustached in the back tow, left, played trumpet in the band. He said each day he arrived at the studio the stage set was tilted ever more downwards

Never knew this! Thanks for sharing!

If only they understood PTSD back then & realised what a dreadful decision it was to have her make that film…even if she appeared enthusiastic at first.

I never heard of that movie or film star. Thank you for sharing with us film lovers.

It could be interesting watching that movie

Suprised they were able yo make a film in less than a month after the event happened

The definition of “too soon”

Released a month later meaning they begin filming days after the sinking 😩

So freaking traumatizing .life back then was no better than it is today

It must have been a terrifying ordeal to have been on the Titanic! How could u ever b the same after such a tragedy?

Very sad, will all the people who lost their lives. Heartbreaking!!

I like the one with Catherine Zeta Jones, the most❤And the one before, called" A night to remember"❤

I’m wondering when someone survives after such disaster like titanic, war or really big things like this, if it’s really worth it. I mean it in a way that the trauma is so big that you are not able to function for a normal life! Many people kill themselves when they have such an experience after years. It’s really hard!!

Look up her bio. She had a very interesting life.

Ofc 😭 and she act in the movie ONLY ONE MONTH after the disaster, howw

Wow, talk about “too soon!”

I’m shocked that they actually managed to produce a film in such a short time span. Especially given the state of communications back in those days.

Thanks so much for this story. Another few pictures was great to see.

Titanic is my favorite movie

And no she was not some dumb kid who thought starring in a film about a disaster she just went through was a good idea, the director forced her to finish the film even when she didn’t want to, by harassment and blackmailing.

Too soon brah , TOO soon 😂

75 years later, someone else "commercialized the sinking" too and made one of the best movies all times and also made a profit way bigger than all the money lost in the disaster.

I feel like if I were on the titanic and survived, I wouldn't be able to carry on eith life. Dying in something like that is obviously horrific, but living after it knowing what youd seen, I just dont think I'd be strong enough to deal with that

She was very beautiful poor lady what a shame. And I can imagine in those days help for mental health was not good. Very interesting Thank you. 😘😘😘

Awesome, definitely want to watch it. From the perspective of someone who was actually there and went through it.

Commercialising the sinking you say?... You should travel to Belfast Northern Ireland. They've built a whole tourism industry off the back of it lol.

Mad to think my nan was 5yrs old when this happened ❤

I can imagine it would have been very accurate.

imagine if like right now there was a movie called "The Titan" starring the submersible set to release. At least give it some time smh

She ist really Rose, Dorothy Gibson was survived. Thanks for sharing.

"A night to remember" Is the only Titanic film I'll ever watch,don't hate me,but the Titanic movie went off the memory of the incident,and focused on the love story with Jack and Rose...yes I cried at Jack's death...but,keep Titanic's memory alive,y'know?

Aww man too bad the movie no longer exists. I'd love to see it.

🛳️ Loved the movie, she was a beautiful lady , so sad would have been so scary 🛳️

I wish that they had more lifeboats on the Titanic because then more people could have lived.

Love your story telling! What mic do you use for your narrations?

Hello stunning history can you make the history of Napoleon I haven't know it but pls😊 I subbed

I read about this movie before.

she played in the movie that she didn't want to be in just for that movie going destroyed two years later

So, was her story. (Idk what I was typing). with the director the reason we have Jack and rose? I read somewhere that James Cameron depicted real events in his movie with two fictional characters to make it feel more relatable. Maybe I’m wrong.

Anyone else getting chills rn? -Tim

Bro, that’s one day before my birthday😮

They should make a movie about her, she lived a crazy life and was a mess of a person.

A silent movie.

Amazing

R. I. P. Titanic

Wow I wonder how many really came here n made it n left a legacy

Why don’t ppl leave the Titanic alone? What else do they want from that? It was already found, already seen, a movie was made about it, what else do they want?

Darn...I would have loved to have seen her movie!

I want this movie so bad

She looks a bit like Claire Foy

Wow I didn't know I watch the movie Titanic

Rip❤🥺

Sadly the term “too soon” would not become popularized for another 80 years or so.

Wow, I had never heard this before

Oh wow! How interesting and how sad.

This is a big history

Would have loved to have seen that.

❤❤❤😊 God bless you 😊

Commercializing on a tragedy wouldn't be a problem if people weren't interested such products. People like tragic, real life stories. Someone provides the supply. We never blame the client, only the seller, but the seller wouldn't be there if there were no clients.

Awesome

How convenient

It actually came in 1915

She was really pretty.

I know the titan imploded but why am I seeing so many titanic videos

Interesting story. Shame the movie was lost and the actress never made another movie

Such a sad story

Don’t forget the fact that she was arrested by the Nazis during WWII…

Blimey... Maybe they should have made a film about the twin towers 911 on the same day it happened

Titanic sank😢😢❤❤

Can someone please please tell the background piano song’s name ?

Firsts movies: La hantise In natch und eis

One month later… jeesh. 😳

it is so sad that this happened

I like your channel because it never fails to teach me something new. Thank you

All this taught me was “don’t ever trust a woman”

Anyone noticed she looks so much like Rose!

Hmmmmmmm......."The Submersible" December 2023 coming to a theater near you!

She may not have had classic good looks but she had passion

She is the prime example of privilege.

A whole lot of truths in that film sadly lost.

Interesting

Waaaaaay to soon

She must have cleaned up in that card game and took the first life 🛶 boat off the sinking ship 🚢. Then, she made a movie 🎥 about herself, glamourizing how she survived in first class while hundreds of others were trapped and died below deck. One of God’s Commandments is, “Thou Shall Not Steal!” thank you 🎌

Such proof humans are obsessed with movies and look how many have been made since..

YOU TELLING ME DAT MOVIE IS 111 YRS OLD

I would love to have seen this movie. Too bad it was destroyed.

the same people who sank it did this film

Titanic sunk in water & movie has lost in fire 😢😢🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

something just doesn't sit right w me about the entire ordeal

Trauma is real.

Who even ownwed a tv in 1914

🤔 ........"Sure, Jan".

Why would any director worth their metal ever offer someone to play in a movie from an event that they were in that they clearly would be traumatized from to begin with?

Whats the name song?
