Jack Dawson

Jack Dawson is the fictional protagonist of James Cameron's 1997 film *Titanic*, played by Leonardo DiCaprio—a penniless artist who wins a steerage ticket aboard the doomed ship and falls in love with a first-class passenger.

The character became iconic enough that the name evokes tragic romance or youthful idealism cut short: She's waiting for her Jack Dawson to sweep her off her feet.
