It's Come to This

Remember the life-saving door at the end of "Titanic"?

The one that Rose and Jack couldn't both fit on?

At Heritage Auctions in Dallas, the Balsa wood panel used in the movie sold for $718,750 to an anonymous buyer, The New York Times reported.

The auction liquidated a large trove of items from Planet Hollywood, including Indiana Jones' whip and Jack's ax from "The Shining."

No word yet on whether the new owner has tested the door's width to see if Jack might have, after all, survived. [New York Times, 3/26/2024]
