'Titanic' stars would help support to last survivor 'Millvina'


Titanic star's Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio and Canadian director James Cameron will help together to the last survivor of the 1912 ship disaster. 

The screen talents have reportedly contributed £22,000 towards the nursing home fees for 97-year-old Millvina Dean. 


Millvina's father Bertram Dean lost life after saving Millvina, then two months old, and his wife and son. Following the tragedy her mother returned from New York to Britain. 

Earlier this year the pensioner was reduced to auctioning personal belongings and memorabilia associated with the tragedy to cover care costs of £3,000 per month at the Southampton home where she lives. 

Millvina's friend Irish author Don Mullan said he was thrilled with the three stars' generous gesture. 

"I laid down the challenge to the Titanic actors and directors to support the Millvina Fund and I was delighted with the generosity they have shown in meeting that challenge."
